The story of Randolph
Late afternoon on Sunday, July 2nd, 2023, the brave heart of Randy Crafton came to rest at the age of 59, leaving us to be with his Lord and Savior. Randy was born to Kel and Anita Crafton on May 4, 1964, in Vancouver, Washington. He is survived by an incredibly loving family who miss him dearly. His beloved wife, Joeann Hall Crafton, and his faithful companion Zena, who were always by his side until the end. Randy also leaves behind his three sons, Gene, Shaun, and Jeff, as well as his two daughters, Lydia and Sharell. The family was a source of joy for Randy. He cherished his role as a grandfather to Lea, Shelbey, Avis, Gracie, Ryan, Fayeth, Jareth, and Arwyn. Additionally, he leaves behind nieces Stephanie and Kellie Hall and their sons Davion, Landon, and Jayce, along with many bonus children and grandchildren. Randy had a special bond with his adopted brother, Tim Carroll, and adopted sister, Janette Atchley. He is also survived by his brothers Doug and Kenyon and his sister. As well as, his Aunt Patricia, numerous cousins, nieces, and nephews. Throughout his life, Randy found immense joy in crafts that were made from his talents but more importantly from his heart. He was skilled in woodworking and found satisfaction in creating beautiful custom items from repurposed wood. Shooting pool and throwing darts were among his favorite pastimes. Randy had a giving nature and found fulfillment in helping others. Above all, he cherished quality time spent with his family and friends. He took pride in caring for his home, yard, and garden until illness prevented him from doing so. Randy was an integral part of his church community, and his absence will be deeply felt as his church family fondly remembers his humor and loving heart. A public memorial service to celebrate the life of Randy Crafton will be held on Saturday, July 29, 2023, at 11:00 AM, at the Southeast Christian Center, 2414 SE 135th Ave, Portland, OR. May the memory of Randy Crafton be a comforting and reassuring presence for all those who held him dear, knowing that he is now in the embrace of God. May Randy’s legacy continue to provide strength and solace to those whose lives he touched. He had a profound love for eagles and now he’s soaring among them.
