Randall Francis, 81, of Joplin, went home to be with the Lord on March 25th, 2025. A devoted man of faith, Randall was an avid churchgoer and found great joy in playing gospel music for his congregation.
Born on June 10th, 1943, to his beloved mother, Ruth Maschewski, who preceded him in passing, Randall lived a life of love, service, and devotion to his family and faith. He is survived by his devoted wife, Barbara Francis; his sister, Annie; his son, Dustin; and his stepdaughter, Jill. Randall’s legacy continues through his grandchildren Amber, Shey, Jessie, Luke, Lane, Tyler, and Cassie, as well as his three great-grandchildren, Keara, Brailee, and Kaisen, who will always remember his wisdom, warmth, and unwavering love.
Randall’s life was a testament to faith, family, and music. Though he is no longer with us, his spirit will forever be felt in the songs he played and the love he shared. A service honoring his life will be held at Royal Heights Baptist on April 19th, 2025 at 3pm.
May he rest in peace, his soul forever rejoicing in the heavenly choir. Arrangements are under the direction of Ozark Memorial Park Crematory of Joplin, MO
