Randall Anthony Waller Sr.

“Tony” died peacefully surrounded by loving family on Saturday, November 9 after an extended illness. A Nashville native, born February 9, 1946, was preceded in death by his parents, Luther B. and Frankie Cothran Waller. Tony graduated Hillwood High School and attended U T Martin. He served honorably the Tennessee National Guard. He is survived by his loving and devoted wife, Elizabeth Oakley Waller and sons, Anthony (Melanie) Waller, Hugh Wells, and daughter Shauna (Tony) Coveny. Survived by brother, Gary(Nancy)Waller, sisters, Drena Person and Mira Waller. Grandchildren: Baylee Faith, Kenadee, Blakelee, Hayden Waller; McKenna, Grayson, Presley, Piper, Pierson and Liam Coveny. Survived by aunts, Lollie Walker, June Burks, Christine Binkley and Becky Carter. As well as longtime associates, Judy Ingersoll, Steve Hale and Don Wilson.

Tony’s entire career was spent in the trucking industry. He started with TCT on the dock handling broken packages for insurance purposes (OSD). He gradually worked his way into management with various other companies and was given the opportunity to purchase the small Murray-Ky Paschall Truck Lines at age 25. He had very little cash so Mr. Paschall proposed owner financing which Tony accepted with great appreciation chasing the “American Dream”. Tony worked tirelessly to grow the business from a small town trucking firm to a national, highly respected contender in the transportation industry. Over nearly 50 years, he provided thousands of employees the opportunity to have high paying jobs to support their families and community.

Tony will be remembered for his love of family, friends and business associates. His faith and trust in the Lord brought great comfort to his family during his struggle and passing. His loving wife, Elizabeth, was his “Rock”.

The family would like to thank Kesha, Porsha, Beth, Jennifer, Melanie, Andrew, Alexander and Javin for their care and love.
