Keenan Jermel "REDMAN" Randolph

Obituary Date: Friday, March 11, 2022

On June 9, 1983, a sweet, kindhearted warrior was born Keenan Jermel "REDMAN" Randolph to Cynthia Ann Randolph and the late Cluster Smith in Gainesville, Ga. 

His grandparents Essie & Jerry Richardson, Bonus Father Reggie Wilburn, and Bonus Grandmother Ruby Wilburn also played a significant role in Keenan's upbringing.

Keenan was always a happy child with a big smile. You would always see him running around First Baptist Church with his auntie Lynn, his mom, and Uncle Michael. At about 2, he was there helping with the church after the remodeling and cleaning. Keenan attended elementary school in the Gainesville City School System and attended the Seventh Day Adventist Church School. He developed a deep passion for the game of basketball and video games. He wanted to play at Gainesville High School. In 1997 he moved to Fort Wayne, Indiana, with his family. There he attended Lakeside Middle and Paul Harding High School. He met and remained friends with Joseph Caesar, Corey Pearson, and Tyler Stevenson. He worked at the Roller Dome and graduated from Paul Harding High School in 2002.

Upon his return to Gainesville, Keenan would work in many different fields and soon found that welding would be something he really enjoyed. He would continue to play basketball and video games throughout his adult life and was also highly competitive, especially with his brothers and cousins Lawrence, Brandon Whitney, Kayneshia, and Kymon. On September 11, 2006, Keenan became a proud dad to his son Key'ariun Zymek Keljin Randolph. He was Keenan's pride and joy.

On March 11, 2022, Keenan transitioned from here to eternity. He was preceded by his father Cluster Smith Jr., Aunts Lynn Leverette, Marshell Smith, Chris Burnett, and Grandfather Milton Randolph.

He leaves to cherish his passing to his son Key'ariun Randolph of Gainesville, his mother Cynthia Randolph of Marietta, Ga, and Bonus Dad Reggie Wilburn, Grandparents Essie & Jerry Richardson, Ruby Wilburn. Brothers Staff Sgt Lawrence Wilburn of Cheyenne, WY, and Brandon Wilburn of Mariette, Ga. Sisters Breonna (Anthony) Morgan and Kasey Smith, Nieces Nalini Williams, and Jori Flemming.
