Randolph will be greatly missed ! His infectious spirit and personality will live on through his children.He and I had the dubious distinction of being co- father in laws and he absolutely loved my daughter which precipitated my love for him.Randolph always had a funny and humorous angle or view on any given situation. He was so excited about the arrival of his twin grandsons ! Now that he's no longer here physically , but most definitely here in spirit, I'll have to step up  and do the things that he and I both said we wanted to do with the boys, including a few good "whippings" as Randolph joked ! I'm thankful for his openness and honesty! He also made me realize the importance of men's health ! Muriel ! you're a trooper , you were a SUPER caregiver for Randolph. God bless the KNIGHTEN  FAMILY

Sorry for your loss Sending prayers and Condolences to family and friends 🙏🏿

Sending you and your family love and hugs from Austin.  May you find comfort in your sorrow. 
With love,
Deb and Ed Rupp

Randolph Knighten was a great leader, family, man , friend, believer in Jesus Christ and a warrior.
He made up our offense in 1973 and 74 for the Baker buffaloes at Baker high school in Baker Louisiana.
He was preparing for heaven over the past three or four months and stepped off the battlefield and into glory recently.
You will be missed Randolph and I’m praying for your family. Love to your family amen.
Larry Epperson
