Chris Randolph

Chris Randolph, a cherished partner, brother, and friend, passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday, June 17, 2025, at the age of 52 in Nashville, Tennessee. Born on March 25, 1973, in Tuscumbia, Alabama, Chris was known for his vivacious spirit and generous heart.

In his professional life, Chris most recently worked for Kroger, where he traveled extensively throughout the Tennessee mid-state region. His role in retail involved displaying and promoting consumer food products, a job that allowed him to share his passion for food and engage with others in meaningful ways.

Chris lived life fully and vibrantly, embracing each day with an open mind and heart. He was an ardent lover of animals and found joy in simple pleasures such as coloring, cooking, and the occasional gambling spree! One of his most treasured experiences was embarking on yearly cruises with his life partner, Ryan Knight, creating lasting memories that will be cherished by all who knew him.

He is survived by his life partner, Ryan Knight, and his brothers, George Randolph (Amanda), Mike Randolph, Brian Randolph, and Jason Randolph (Stacey), along with several nieces and nephews who adored him. He was preceded in death by his beloved parents, Terry and Sandra Randolph, and his brother, Bobby Randolph. The love and values of these three shaped the person he became.

Chris's generous spirit, infectious laughter, and unwavering kindness will be profoundly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him. His legacy of love and joyous living will live on in the hearts of many. Celebration of Life service details are forthcoming and will be announced by Chris' family in the coming days.
