Joshua L. Randolph

Joshua Lee Randolph, of Stevensville, MD, died suddenly on March 30, 2017. He was 29. He was born on July 29, 1987, in Shreveport, LA, to Richard and Nikki (Carnes) Randolph. Being raised by two military parents, Josh’s opportunities in life were endless as he was afforded the opportunity to live all over the United States and Europe courtesy of the United States Air Force. Josh arrived to the Eastern Shore of Maryland in September of 2004 after spending many years living in Germany. During that time Josh was diagnosed with a serious medical condition and returning stateside was the best option. Josh endured many ups and downs since 2004 with his medical challenge, but never one to complain, he rarely shared his thoughts about and kept to himself the severity of his condition. Josh was a friend to all who crossed his path. He was always upbeat, very quick witted had a fantastic sense of humor which shaped his knack of putting daily life into perspective. Josh never asked anything for himself, and was always the first one to volunteer and help out anyone, anywhere, and anytime no matter the need, or how he felt. Josh was courageous and brave and put up a true warrior worthy battle to the end. Josh graduated from Kent Island High School in 2006. He achieved an associate’s degree in automotive technology from Lincoln Tech in 2009. He enjoyed fishing, boating, hot rod/classic cars, baseball, football, cornhole, and playing pool. He wasn’t an avid reader unless it had cars and motors, but he could beat anyone, anytime in quoting “Friends” episodes. Josh is survived by his parents, Richard and Nikki Randolph of Stevensville, MD; his sister, Kaylee Randolph; three nephews, Connor, Davarian, and Elijah of Chester, MD; his grandmother, Candace Randolph, of Lockney, TX; his grandfather, Mike Randolph of Floresville, TX; and his grandparents, Paul and Jeannie Carnes of Sapulpa, Oklahoma; as well as numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and close family friends. Josh was truly loved by all who knew him and made an impression on everyone, including those he never met. He was good man and he will be missed. If Josh was still here today, he would say as he was leaving…….. “Good Night Everybody”…….. A visitation/Service will be held on Thursday April 6, 2017, from 6PM – 8PM at Fellows, Helfenbein & Newnam Funeral Home in Chester, MD. A Celebration of Josh’s life will be held on Saturday April 8, 2017, at 4:30 pm at the Kent Island American Legion Post 278. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Kent Island American Legion Post 278, 800 Romancoke Road, Stevensville, MD 21666.
