On Friday, July 31, 2026, a beautiful light left this earthly life when our beloved Johnny Randle, Jr. peacefully transitioned from labor to eternal rest. Though our hearts are heavy with sorrow, we find comfort in knowing that a life so deeply loved can never truly be lost. Johnny leaves behind treasured memories, countless moments of laughter, and a legacy of love that will continue to live in the hearts of all who were blessed to know him.

Johnny was preceded in death by his father, Johnny Randle, Sr., and his brother, Christopher Randle.

We take comfort in imagining a heavenly reunion where separation is no more and love is everlasting. Johnny leaves to cherish his memory his loving spouse, Mark Charles, who shared in the joys, experiences, and precious moments of his life. He is also lovingly remembered by his devoted mother, Charity Randle; his sister, Annie Randle; his brother, Lamont Randle and two children; his brother, Evan Randle; his niece, Ursula, and her children, Ja’Mari, John, Zara, Amira, and Saroya; his niece, Crystal Bailey, and her children, Reginald, Taler, and Terrance; and his niece, Christina Randle, and her son, Nathaniel.

One of the beautiful chapters of Johnny’s life was the gift of an adoptive family who embraced him with open arms and loved him as their own. He leaves to cherish his memory his adoptive mother, Josie Reyes; adoptive sister, Jackie Henrichson, and her husband, Jay; adoptive brother, John Reyes, and his wife, Tracey; and his adoptive sister, Josephine Davidson, whose introduction of Johnny to the family began a bond that would grow into something truly special, and her husband, James. Johnny is also lovingly remembered by seven nieces and nephews within his adoptive family and their twelve children.

Johnny’s life reminds us that family is not defined by blood alone. Sometimes God allows our lives to cross paths with people who begin as friends but somehow become family. Johnny had the extraordinary blessing of being surrounded by both a family into which he was born and another family into whose hearts he was lovingly welcomed.

To know Johnny was to know light, laughter, love, and life. His fun-loving personality had a way of filling a room. He possessed that special gift of making moments brighter simply by being present. His smile, his laughter, his personality, and the love he freely shared created memories that death can never erase.

Johnny did not have to spend a lifetime with someone to leave a lifetime of memories behind. Whether you knew him for many years or were blessed to encounter him for only a season, he had a way of leaving an imprint upon the heart.

His passing creates a space that no one else can completely fill. There will be moments when his absence is deeply felt a familiar laugh we long to hear, a memory that suddenly brings tears, or an occasion when we instinctively wish he were there. Yet even in those moments, we can be grateful. The depth of our sorrow is evidence of the depth of the love we shared.

So today, we do not simply say goodbye to Johnny. We say thank you.

Thank you, Johnny, for the laughter. Thank you for the love. Thank you for the unforgettable memories. Thank you for the joy you brought into ordinary moments. Thank you for allowing us the privilege of sharing a portion of life’s journey with you.

Our hearts may carry a void, but they will also forever carry Johnny.

And so, beloved Johnny Randle, Jr., as you take your eternal rest, may you be surrounded by a peace greater than anything this world could ever provide.

Dance with the angels. Laugh among the heavens. Rest where there is no more pain, no more sorrow, and no more goodbye.

Until we meet again, rest peacefully, Johnny.

You were loved. You will be missed. And you will never be forgotten.
