Randy Melton

He was born on March 23rd, 1950, in Lexington, Tennessee to Carl and Mary Melton. He loved ranching and the cowboy way of life. As his health deteriorated, music, western movies, and television shows filled his days.

Randy graduated from L.D. Bell High School, Hurst, Texas in 1968. After high school, he attended a mechanical school in Nashville, Tennessee. Returning to Texas, he worked at LTV for a while. Then, he had the opportunity to work for the Houston Belt and Terminal Railway Company in Houston. After several years, he and Kathy moved to Jewett, Texas. Here, living off a country road, surrounded by the peace and quiet of nature, they found their true home.

On May 30th, 1998, Randy married Kathy Ford at an outdoor wedding in Oklahoma. They were together until her passing on May 8th, 2013.

Randy is survived by his brother Steve Melton; his sisters, Janie Melton-Judy, Sharon Moore, and Sandra Harrison along with her husband Glen. He is also survived by six nieces and a nephew.

Randy was preceded in death by his wife, Kathy Ford Melton, his father, Carl Melton, and his mother, Mary Melton.

As his health began to fail, Randy turned to the Lord offering up prayers of thankfulness for the Lord's care and for the blessing of family and friends.
