One memorable summer, Randy orchestrated a family journey to Nova Scotia, where the entire Benedietto clan bonded over shared experiences and created cherished memories. His commitment to family was unwavering; a quality that resonated deeply with all who knew him. Whether traversing the trails of Arkansas mountains on four-wheeling adventures or cruising along the coast in his cherished 1950 Mercury, Randy found solace and joy in the company of his loved ones.
Authenticity was a hallmark of Randy’s character. He was sincere and strived tirelessly to embody the best version of himself at all times. He wore his loyalty and genuine nature like badges of honor, endearing himself to friends and family alike. Randy was no stranger to imperfection; he embraced his flaws and remained resolutely real, inspiring those around him to embrace their own complexities.
Survived by his loving wife of 23 years, Kamala Benedietto, Randy’s love stood as a testament to his commitment. Also his two sons with Tammy Businelle, Brice and Charles and his wife Emily; his three children with Kamala, Brennan, Angelo, and Isabella. His five children inherit not only his love but also his legacy of authenticity and hard work. His presence will continue to guide them as they navigate life’s journey.
Randy’s familial bonds extended beyond his immediate family. He leaves behind two sisters, Cheryl Benedietto and Roxanne Camporese, as well as a stepfather, Ashton Ireland, and three step-sisters, Pamela and Mary Ashton Ireland, and Nita Roy Ireland Guillory. His nieces, nephews, aunts, and a host of extended family and friends also hold cherished memories of his warmth and charisma close to their hearts.

Among the loved ones awaiting him are his maternal and paternal grandparents, uncles, and friends who’ve walked the path before him.
Randy Benedietto’s journey on this earth may have come to an end, but the impact he has made on those fortunate enough to know him will carry on for generations. His authenticity, love, and vibrant spirit will serve as a guiding light for his family and friends as they navigate the uncharted waters ahead. Rest in peace, Randy.
