He was born May 15, 1991, the son of William “Bill” Hawthorn and Tracy Fox Hawthorn. He attended Westbrook and Colorado City Texas schools, and graduated from Colorado City High School, class of 2009.
From early on Randon had a love for the outdoors, spending much of his childhood hunting and fishing with his father, spending long summers with his mother and “Meemaw”, camping and riding dirt bikes with his uncle and cousins, and playing his heart out under those Friday night lights with his Colorado City Wolves. He was a music enthusiast, and could sing the lyrics to any song the radio turned out. He was even known to rock a baby or two, softly singing “Fat Bottom Girls” and the like, much to the disapproval of his nephews parents.
Randon was well known and loved by his classmates, teammates, and his community. Best remembered as a “Gentle Giant”, his large stature housed his incredibly kind soul. Randon’s lovable and kind-hearted personality, absurd sense of humor, and fierce loyalty left a lasting mark upon the hearts of all who met him. Those who knew Randon, even just a little, lost the brightest shining light in their lives with his passing.
Randon is survived by his mother Tracey Fox Hawthorn and father and step mother Bill and Kelli Hawthorn; brothers Colt McCoy of Magnolia, Tx, Clint Shoemaker and wife Tiffany of Frisco, Tx; and grandmother Linda Fox of Magnolia, Tx. He is also survived by aunts and uncles of both Texas and Oklahoma; his nieces and nephew who were his pride and joy; love of his life Lauren Lefler and daughter Gracelyn; and many close friends.
A funeral for Randon will be held on Monday, April 19th at 10 am in the First Baptist Church of Colorado City with a burial to follow in the Colorado City Cemetery.
The family will be present for a visitation at the Kiker Seale Funeral Home on Sunday, April 18th from 6-8 pm.
In lieu of flowers, the family is grateful for contributions to the Randon Hawthorn Memorial Scholarship fund, which will continue his legacy by benefiting the youth of Colorado City.
