Randy Kester, former enlisted United States Marine Corps., was a larger-than-life character with a tough-as-nails exterior and a heart of gold. He was best known to his neighbors for sitting out on his porch, rocking out to his favorite songs and giving a big wave & hello to everyone who passed by. He was also famous for his incredible cooking, and never missed a local cookoff or contest (which he often won), and always had a great cut of meat in the smoker or on the grill for neighborhood gatherings and block parties. His greatest pride, however, was being a father to his two extraordinary young daughters, Lily & Randi Jane; and other half to his partner in crime, Sandy.

While Randy's passing leaves a void that can never be filled, we are creating a memorial fundraiser to support the future needs of his three favorite ladies.
