It is with great sadness that the family of George Randall announces that the Angels of Heaven came to take their beloved father and family patriarch home to the Heavenly Father Oct. 6, after a long battle against cancer. Born George Alfred Randall Oct. 4, 1933, to George Henry and Violet Ruth Alice Anderson Randall in Britton, S.D. George exceeded in everything he did and left a positive imprint on the lives of everyone that he came in contact with.
In 1952, George joined the U.S. Army and served in Korea working various duties during the Korean War. During his military service, George earned several medals, including the National Defense Service Medal, the United Nations Service Medal and Korean Service Medal. Following his discharge from the Army in 1954, George enlisted in the Army Reserve Unit. George was proud to have served his Country.
George married the love of his life, Darlene Carroll Dec. 2, 1955. George and Darlene had two children, son, Douglass, born May 6, 1960, followed by the birth of their daughter, Brenda, Jan. 16, 1963.
During the mid-1950's, George started his career as a steel worker with Bethlehem Steel Co. in Los Angeles. Over the years, he worked in various positions for Soule Steel, Allison Steel and Triangle Steel. In 1967, George met Ray Kendricks in Las Vegas, and the two men soon formed an alliance that would launch one of the largest construction empires in Las Vegas history with the formation of Steel Engineers Inc. Initially, the two partners struggled with up and down economies, but with the election of Ronald Reagan in 1980, Las Vegas soon became one of the greatest boom-towns of modern history and Steel Engineers Inc. was in the middle of it fabricating and placing rebar in a majority of the buildings and casinos along the famed Las Vegas Strip. Guided by George's tenacity, attention to detail and his tremendous integrity, Steel Engineers Inc. soon became a resounding success and at one time, employed 1,000 workers. Steel Engineers Inc. placed the steel in such iconic buildings as the Thomas and Mack Center, MGM Grand, Caesar's Palace, the Stratosphere, the Mirage and Sahara, as well as the Nevada Test Site. During his years in Las Vegas, George was committed to helping the Las Vegas community grow in many other ways. There were very few causes he said no to. Among them were such organizations as Southern Nevada Youth Athletic Association, Ducks Unlimited and Boys and Girls Club.
In 1996, George decided to retire and sold his ownership position in Steel Engineers Inc.
He and Darlene moved to Kernville, Calif., where they built a home along the majestic Kern River. For the past 19 years, they have enjoyed their home where they have entertained and hosted countless gatherings for friends and family.
George loved Kernville and took on community projects with the same tenacity and drive as with his successful steel company. Whatever business or project George became involved with, whether it was the purchase of a motel, restaurant or development of a ball field, George had the "Midas Touch" for improving everything he came involved with. And the community of Kernville was the benefactor. Every year, George and Darlene would convert the small park in the heart of Kernville into a Christmas village, complete with Santa Clause, toys, music and gifts for underprivileged children.
George is survived by his wife, of nearly 60 years, Darlene of Kernville; son, Douglass of Las Vegas; daughter and son-in-law, Brenda and Pat Beatty of Tehachapi; granddaughter, Jessica Randall of Wyoming; grandsons, Bronson McDowall of Tehachapi, and Duran McDowall of South Lake Tahoe, Calif.; and brother-in-law, Dean, and his wife, Mary Carroll of Palmdale.
George will be sadly missed but remembered by people in both Las Vegas and Kernville as a generous, humble and kind-hearted man. Whether it was his family, friends or acquaintance, George was always there with a smile and an open wallet ready and willing to help. Our family wishes to express how much they loved him and how proud they are of his legacy.
Services will be at noon Saturday, Oct. 17, at the Faith Community Church in Wofford Heights, Calif. In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting donations be made to the Susan G. Komen Foundation for Breast Cancer.
