Randall Leslie Pike, 88, passed away peacefully on August 20, 2025, with Carol Lynn at his side in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida.

Born on September 8, 1936, in Plymouth, New Hampshire, Randall’s life was marked by dedication; to his country, his career, his faith, and most importantly, to his family. He graduated from Boston University College of Business in 1958 with a degree in Industrial Management. During his time at BU, he served as President of the Student Body and was an ROTC cadet, laying the foundation for a life of leadership and service.

Following graduation, Randall entered the United States Army in 1958. Commissioned as a Second Lieutenant at Ft. Benning, Georgia, he later transferred to Ft. Lewis in Washington State where he served with the 7th Infantry Division. He rose to the rank of Captain before leaving military service in 1963.

Randall then embarked on a distinguished career spanning more than five decades. From 1963 to 2019, he held numerous executive roles including Finance Manager, Vice President of Finance, Senior Vice President, Chairman, President, and CEO across various companies. His entrepreneurial spirit culminated in co-owning a successful UPS Store in Watercolor, Florida with his beloved wife, Carol Lynn, affectionately known as “Lynnie”. Together they built a thriving business that offered multiple services to their community.

A man of deep faith and lifelong Episcopalian, Randall played an active role in helping grow Christ the King Episcopal Church in Santa Rosa Beach. His commitment to service extended beyond professional and religious spheres into every aspect of his personal life.

Randall was a devoted husband to Carol Lynn for twenty years, a loving and compassionate partner whose presence enriched his later years. He was also a deeply caring father to Jacqueline Judy, Jonathan Leslie, Joanna Lisa, and James Stanley. He is remembered with love by ten grandchildren and four great-grandchildren, whom knew him affectionately as “Rumpa", and two nieces. He was predeceased by Louisa Belle, the mother of all five of his children; by his son, Geoffrey Randall; and his sister, Marilyn Judy.

Randall’s legacy is one of steadfast devotion; to family values, professional excellence, spiritual growth, and community involvement. His warmth and wisdom will be missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

May his memory bring comfort to those who knew him and continue to inspire generations to come.
