Funeral services will be held 10:00 a.m. Monday, December 11th, 2023, at Hillcrest Baptist church, 902 N. Washington, Stillwater, Oklahoma. Strode Funeral Home and Cremation is in charge of the arrangements.

Randall was born in Davenport, Iowa on April 20th, 1954, and was shortly adopted as an infant by his mother and father, Clarence and Ola Verlee Johnson. Randall entered his first marriage to his late wife, Kathy, at an unknown date. Before Kathy's passing in 1980, she blessed Randall with two sons, Colt Johnson, and Randy Johnson. Randall remarried Kelly Decker on December 2, 1989. Kelly blessed Randall with three more children, Alyssa Johnson, Savanah Johnson, and Justin Johnson. Before being afforded the opportunity to meet his stepmother, brother, and two sisters, Colt Johnson sadly passed in 1984 when he was only 5 years of age. However, Kelly took Randy in as her own and began a new life with her husband, Randall, and their ever-growing family.

Anyone who saw Randall Johnson could first identify him by his cowboy hat, belt buckle, and pants tucked in to his "loud," knee high cowboy boots which chimed musically as he walked due to the spurs tightly clasped on the back. Randall was a cowboy, after all. In fact, more than a profession, or aesthetic, Randall's "cowboyness" was entirely engrained into the very fabric of his identity. Even his closest friends and family knew him as "Cowboy Randy."

Randall and Kelly owned a trucking company in Ottawa Lake, Michigan from 1995-2004. In 2005, Randall allowed his cowboy itch to get the best of him; therefore, selling his trucks to move his family back to Oklahoma, so he could go back to his cowboy roots. Even while living in Michigan Randall regularly attended the rodeo teaching his kids the cowboy trade. Randall's kids were not the only individuals fortunate enough to receive this training. Randall was a giving soul who constantly took in young men to train them on the techniques of riding, roping, and life skills necessary to be a successful rodeo champion.

Not only was Randall a cowboy and an owner/operator, but he was a jack of all trades and everyone who met him had a lasting impression, for he truly was one of a kind. One of the most unique things about Randall was his elaborate and often difficult to believe stories. However unbelievable Randall's stories were, after meeting him, it became difficult to disregard them as untrue. After all, a man of his unique caliber had to have lived an interesting life with many interesting tales to show for it. Still, Randall kept the public curious, as he would often be seen speaking to his two imaginary friends, Pedie and Theodore.

Randall was also genuine in his faith. Being delivered from several incidents that would have claimed the lives of most others, Randall would attribute his well-being to the God who's "got him." Randall was first to assure everyone of this reality and often could be heard daily speaking of his relationship with Christ. Though Randall will be loved and missed, his family and friends have assurance that they will once again be united with their beloved husband, father, grandfather, and friend. Till we meet again in glory, we love and miss you "Cowboy Randy."
