Randall "Randy" Dean Housh

Randall Dean Housh, 65, of Fayetteville, WV, was received by his Father on December 19,

2019. He was born on January 13, 1954, in Abilene, TX, to the late Bobby Junior Housh and

Bobbie Jean Acker. In addition to his mother those left to carry his legacy forward are his loving

wife (Lamb) Kathy; his children, Seth, Aaron (Stephanie), Justin (Holly), Farah, Faith (Joey),

and Courtney; brothers Scott and Jim. His beloved grandchildren: Shelbi, Shaedyn, Christian, James, Kallista, Holden, Jocie, Scarlett, Remington Dean and Noah.

Randy surrendered his life and will to Christ on September 4, 1978, and his life became a living

testimony for his Savior. Randy was the best and brightest among us. He was a phenomenal

husband, father, grandfather, son, brother, mentor, friend, and a champion for the good for every

person who crossed his path. He was passionate about his work. He led a successful career in the

nonprofit world, but in every place of employment, his life's work was people. He was gifted

with words. He connected to everyone. All who knew him will hold tightly to the lessons he

taught us, the stories he told, and the example of love and grace he set for us all. We will always

hear his voice encouraging us, guiding us, and challenging us as we carry forward the mission of

his life - showing the pure, non-judgemental love of God. He was a man of the highest integrity

and ALWAYS did the right thing, regardless of consequence. He was a man of faithful

obedience.

Randy was bigger than life. His smile contagious and his laugh infectious. His presence lit up a

room and he brought joy with his unique sense of humor and corny jokes. He brought joy to

broken-hearted. We are all better because of knowing him and the world was better with his

presence.

Randy was loved by so many because he gave so much. To honor his life, the family will

receive friends and family on Monday, December 23, 2019, from 6pm to 8pm at Dodd, Payne,

Hess Funeral Home in Fayetteville. A Celebration of Life will be held on February 29, 2020

(location TBD). Donations may be made in his honor to the Hospice of Southern WV Patient

Need Fund, or charity of your choice.
