Randy Arthur Gibson, age 58 of Deer Lodge passed away on January 2, 2026, at the Methodist Medical Center in Oak Ridge after a short battle with cancer.

Randy was born on May 12, 1967, in Chicago, Illinois, but grew up in Deer Lodge. Randy married the love of his life, Sherry, and together they raised their son, Andrew. He was a cable TV lineman for years and then ran his auto repair garage in Deer Lodge with his dad. He loved his music, and he had a great sense of humor, loved to laugh, and wanted to make others laugh. Those that knew him were often the recipient of his quick wit and desire to make you laugh.

Randy is preceded in death by his mother Patricia (Patti) Gibson and father Henry (H.C.) Gibson; grandparents Arthur and Beulah Robinson and Chester and Ada Gibson; uncles Ross Branstetter and Jerry Robinson; and mother-in-law Dean Lavender.

He is survived by his wife of 38 years, Sherry; son Andrew and fiancée Bonnie Chaboudy; sister Debra Vertner-Brown and brother-in-law Jay Brown; father-in-law Wilfred Lavender; sister-in-law Karen Starr (David); aunt Kathy Branstetter; nephews, great nephews/niece, and cousins; and many great friends.

Randy loved his fur babies and to rescue those that needed a home so in lieu of flowers, you may want to donate to a pet shelter or your charity of choice.

The family will receive friends on Monday, January 5, 2026 from 5-7 pm Schubert Funeral Home, Wartburg. Services will follow at 7 pm. Graveside services will be Tuesday, January 6th at 11 am at the Mt. Hope Cemetery, Deer Lodge, TN.
