After high school, he worked as a truck driver and later owned a hay-hauling business. In his later years he worked in the building trades before retiring in 2020.
On April 19, 1978, Randall married the love of his life, Gloria, and together they raised two loving children, Daniel and Rachael.
Randall had a deep love of the Lord and was a devout Christian throughout his life. He was baptized in the Seventh Day Adventist Church and remained a loyal member of the Church and ardent supporter of the Gospel.
Randall loved all that nature provided. From a young boy, he enjoyed riding horses, raising animals, tending the garden, fishing and simply spending time outdoors.
He is survived by his wife of 47 years, Gloria D. Jackson; his son, Daniel Jackson; his daughter, Rachael Jackson, both of Columbia; and their beloved Australian Shepherds Frank, Dean, and Ace. He was preceded in death by his parents.
