Randy King was a beloved husband and father who sadly passed away from pancreatic cancer on September 4, 2023.
During his two-year battle, he and his family went through significant turmoil, worrying about how to send their children to school in light of the financial costs of treatment. They were given so much love and support and are now continuing the cycle of giving to help students whose families have been affected by cancer achieve their dreams.
