Randall L. Treadwell, or as friends and family affectionately called him, Randy died on Tuesday, October 24, 2023 at Cox Branson surrounded by his loving family. He was born in Marshall, Arkansas on November 18, 1959. At the age of 9 months, he was given to his mother, Racine Treadwell Ragland. He was her baby from that point on.

At a young age, he made the most important decision any of us can make. He chose Jesus. While in the hospital, he rededicated his life to the Lord and spent his last days being a witness for his Savior, Jesus Christ. Titus 3:5 says, “He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit.”

On August 11, 1978 he married Rita Horton of Marshall. They spent 45 years of love and devotion to each other.

If we can think of two expressions to describe our dad, they would be hard worker and straight shooter. Oftentimes he was brutally honest with folks, but it was done out of genuine love and concern.

He worked as manager of Harps for 23 years and Wal-Mart for 12 years. He was gifted with the ability to lead people.

Later in life he worked at Buffalo Conservation District and as a farmer with his son, Cory and wife, Rita.

He and Cory had a special bond and truly treasured each day they spent together on the farm.

His four grandkids were the loves of his life. We will miss our morning phone calls asking for advice from this very wise man. His strong presence in our lives will be greatly missed.

Survivors include his wife, Rita Treadwell of Marshall; sons, Cory Treadwell and wife Kelsey and Jeff Treadwell and wife Jennifer, both of Marshall; grandkids, Olivia, Leah, Grayson and Gage; siblings, Bill Ragland (Holly), Hughey Ragland (Kandy), Judy Sutterfield, Paul Treadwell and Julie Mae Cook; close personal friends, Pat Connors, Mike Gifford, Daniel Terherst, Scott Daniel and Sharon Daniel; and countless nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.

He is preceded in death by his mother, Racine Treadwell Ragland; father, Junior Treadwell; and brothers-in-law, Donnie Sutterfield and Lewis Horton. Graveside services for him were 10:00 a.m. Thursday, October 26, 2023 at Red Hill Cemetery in Marshall, Arkansas with Bro. Jordan Methvin officiating. Pallbearers were Bill Ragland, Hughey Ragland, Tony Reznicek, Mike Gifford, Scott Smith and Nathan Treadwell. Honorary pallbearers were Dillon Carr, Reagan Bell, Sid Lowrance, Brent Clark, Daniel Terherst, Steven Treadwell, Pat Connors, Freddy Horton and Ace Hensley.
