Randall “Randy” Wilkerson, 57, of Ocoee, Florida passed away on Saturday July 16, 2022, at Health Central Hospital in Ocoee, Florida.
Randy was born in Orlando, Florida on June 11, 1965, to the late Delma E. & Marlene (Smith) Wilkerson.
Randy lived in the Ocoee area all his life, attending Ocoee schools. Randy ran his own lawn service for many years you could always see him around West Orange County in his work truck, pulling his lawn equipment, smoking a cigarette.
He loved his family and friends, Randy had special way about him when he walked into a room there was complete silence his energy and stories would make the room light up with laughter and it would come alive. Randy was a small man with a big heart, if at any time someone needed help, he would stop what he was doing to help as much as possible. Even though he never had a direct path in life he never walked a straight line, he always lived in the moment which made him so unique. Randy had a one-of-a-kind personality, but we all loved it. He didn’t care how people looked at him or perceived him he was always truly a genuine person.
Randy was on the water fishing was his most important hobby, he didn’t care if he caught anything or not, it was just being on the water he loved. He always had a love for Chevy trucks and spent a lot of nights stuck in the mudhole in his younger days.
Randy also enjoyed playing horseshoes, pool and drinking an ice-cold Natural ice can of beer. Randy was a true bad ass never showed fear, never tried to make you worry about him.

Six grandchildren: Mike Andresen, Skylar Frank, Zane Bass, Ryder, Riley, and Jenifer. Sister’s Regina (Sam) and Rebecca (Rick), stepfather Billy R.
