Randy Kenton Diltz III's Obituary
Randy Kenton Diltz, lll, a.k.a FatRan, was born a KING in St. Louis,
Missouri to Randy Diltz, Jr. and Latrice Ledell on January 18, 1999. He
was preceded in death by his grandmother, Yu Linda Sturdivant, whom
he longed to meet his entire life. He was also preceded by great
grandparents, William [Jennie Mae] Diltz and Author James.
Randy attended Adams Elementary Bbefore he soon found his KIPP
family. Randy would proudly announce, “when I get rich, man I’m giving
back to KIPP”. Special thanks to his KIPP family, for teaching him how
to apply himself and bringing out his strengths. There after, Randy
graduated an honors student from NJROTC High School, where he was
given several recognitions for his academic and athletic abilities,
including his attendance at the 2014 and 2016 Scholar’s Athlete
Luncheon. He then proceeded his educational career at The University
of Central Missouri, where he astonishingly made the Dean’s list his
first semester, with a whooping 4.0 GPA.
Randy had a gentle, beautiful and genuine heart and soul. He enjoyed
music of all genres, even contributing a few songs of his own. He
enjoyed eating foods with no cheese, with the exception of pizza,
nachos and lasagna, but he loved chicken and potatoes. Most
importantly, he adored anytime spent with daddy, momma, family and
friends. He has always owned a shy personality, but once he’s
comfortable around you, you might as well call him KING Macho Man
Randy Savage. He even had a college professor acknowledge him by
that name.
Randy has always remained persistent with his love, throughout life. He
leaves to cherish his life and is survived by: his parents ~ Randy
[Crystal] Diltz and Latrice [John] Jones; his grandparents ~ Randy Diltz
Sr., Clifton Johnson, John and Doris Ledell; his great grandmothers ~
Sylvia Brown and Irene Johnson; two special uncles ~ Steven Johnson
and Kenton Diltz; and a special aunt ~ Roszell Johnson (Poopie). Randy
also leaves to cherish his special friend Daisha Carrawell and a host
of other beloved uncles, aunts, cousins and friends.
