On June 2, 2022 Randall Wayne Jobe gently left this earth to spend eternity where there is no illness, pain, nor sorrow.

Randall graduated from Brazoswood High School and Brazosport Community College before moving to Houston. Always an actor, he performed in his first play in the second grade, won a talent contest in third grade, singing “I Want to Hold Your Hand” by the Beatles and in the summer after fourth grade he portrayed one of the orphans in “Oliver”. He continued his acting endeavors in high school, was President of the Thespian Club and Accapella Choir and the rest is Houston legend history.

After moving to Houston Randall performed in many theaters including productions in Theatre Under the Stars in such musicals as “Canterbury Tales” and “Fiddler on the Roof”, too many productions to mention with Risky Business, Stages Theatre, Celebration Theatre, The Comedy Workshop, The Great Caruso, Music Box, Ovations, and many, many more.
