Randy Roberson, 58, of Littlefield went to be with his Lord Tuesday, January 18, 2022 in Lubbock. He was born on January 17, 1964 in Littlefield to Harold "Buddy" Roberson and Joyce (Kittrell) Roberson.

Randy attended Amherst Schools and graduated with the class of 1982. He married his love, Rebecca Armes on January 23, 1988 in Littlefield. He was a farmer in Lamb County, working for many farmers in the area, Charles Hines, Arlen Simpson, and Barry Armes, just to name a few. He then started Roberson Farms, INC in 1992. He also worked for Pioneer Seed as a salesman. Randy was a devoted husband and dad, he spent many years coaching his children's Little League and Little Dribblers teams and was a great role model to many of the area youth. He was a mountain of a man with a heart as big as he was, and he was always willing to help anyone through any of their hard times. Randy was also a jokester and a kid at heart. He never tired of pulling pranks on others, and enjoyed explosives, his potato gun and blowing things up. In fact, he loved fireworks so much that about nine years ago, he and his family opened RM Fireworks stand, so he could share his love of the 4th of July and things that go "boom" with others. He enjoyed playing poker, fishing, and driving around in his pickup truck, checking on his farms. He never missed a day stopping by Fast Stop for his soda and was always willing to chat with anyone who he ran into there. Randy was also a giver of his time, serving on the board at Amherst Co-Op, among many other things. He was a loyal friend, the kind of man who truly checked on his people and made a point to know he cared.
