Troy Dawn Randolph, joined our Heavenly Father on January 20, 2019 at the age of 90. He was born in Frederick, Oklahoma on November 26, 1928. Troy was the oldest of five children born to Josh and Mollie Randolph. He began working among the cotton fields on his family’s farm at the age of 6 which sparked a passion for farming. In the 8th grade, he became a member of the FFA and worked in the agriculture industry for 72 years. He served as president of Randolph Manufacturing and De’Ran Gear Inc. Troy was a dreamer, inventor, entrepreneur, and engineer.
Raised in a Christian home, Troy gave his life to Christ in 1948.
