George “Randy” Randall Grimes was born at Malone Hogan Clinic in Big Spring, Texas on October 20, 1954 to Richard and Lolita Grimes. He went to be with the Lord on November 20, 2019. Randy lived a life full of adventure throughout the United States, mainly spending time in Texas, Colorado, Arkansas and Florida. He was a big fan of golfing, fishing, hunting and camping (anything in the Great Outdoors),
but his kids and grandkids were his real treasures. He loved spending time with them and taking them to Disney World. He loved going on cruises, as well as cheering on his favorite football teams-the Texas Longhorns and the Dallas Cowboys. He would also spend lots of happy hours next to his loving dog, Cappy. Randy never met a stranger! Randy was a member of Community Faith United Methodist Church. He was employed in a variety of interesting positions over the years, some of which were manager of a staffing company and owner of his own landscaping company. His last place of employment was probably his favorite-playing carnival games with families at Dollywood! He is survived by his loving wife of 17 years, Elaine Grimes of Davenport, Florida. He is lovingly remembered by his mother, Lolita Grimes, brother, Richard Grimes (Sandy), his son, George Grimes (Sara); daughters, Julie Mumfrey
(Doug) and Heather Guerra (Mario); step-son, Brian Hoover (Kristin); grandsons: Nate Guerra, Sam Guerra, Miles Mumfrey, Luke Mumfrey, Jack Grimes and Van Grimes; granddaughters, Ava Hoover and Caitlyn Hoover; and many nieces, nephews, great nieces, great nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.

Grimes, of Hot Springs Village, Arkansas, brother Robb S. Grimes of Katy, Texas, sister, Virginia Lynn Grimes, Big Spring, Texas nephew, Jared A.
