William Randolph Davenport was born on Dec 8, 1925 and left this earthly life on February 10, 2021. He is now in the presence of his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Randy was born in Pineville, Missouri to Jesse Mitchell and Helene Vail Davenport. The fifth of six children, Randy grew up on a farm in rural southwest Missouri, where he learned the value of hard work, perseverance, and love of family. Those early life lessons served him well, as he went on to accomplish much during his life.

He held many positions in this organization, serving as International President for several years. Baptist by denomination and a member of Campbellsville Baptist Church, Randy served in many capacities, including serving as choir director, Sunday school teacher and deacon. His singular goal was to serve the Lord and find opportunities to show Jesus to others.
In public, Randy held many leadership positions in various organizations. At home, he was a kind and gentle father, loving husband, and caring grandfather, who had the time to answer questions, listen to concerns, or tell stories. He loved music, books, and poetry. Until his final days, he could still quote entire poems he had learned in his childhood.
