“It really means a lot to me to have something like this to keep for my dad, to honor him”

He lost his dad Randy in 2026. He shared this two days after Randy’s song arrived.

IIHis words, in his song

What he wrote about Randy, word for word, and the lines it became.

  1. A memoryhow to make bonfires, how to drive… Cruising down indianola river on the pontoon boat together. Making smores on the fire together. Playing basketball HORSE together
    In the song 0:13

    Cruising down the Indianola River on the pontoon boat

    You taught me how to drive, and how to keep my life afloat

    Building bonfires, making s'mores, beneath the open sky

    Playing HORSE and throwing a football as the years went by

  2. A memoryWatching western movies together. Listening to old stories 100 times over.
    In the song 0:27

    We’d watch those old Westerns fading on the screen

    You’d tell the same stories, a hundred times it seemed

  3. A memoryCalling him from another state as an adult simply to say “Goodnight Dad, I love you.”
    In the song 1:29

    Calling from another state when the day was finally through

    Simply just to say, "Goodnight, Dad, I love you"

  4. What he missesOur long conversations that where Neverending… His wisdom for relationships and business. His ability to always find the positive in a negative. Our lunches and dinners together, especially fried catfish. Sharing a Coors Banquet beer together
    In the song 1:08

    You always found the positive when skies were turning gray

    I miss those never-ending talks about politics and life

    Your wisdom on a business deal, and how to treat my wife

    I'd give anything to share a Coors Banquet right now

    Over a plate of fried catfish, just laughing out loud

  5. What he taught himTaught me to always treat others the way you wanted to be treated. Taught me to be a man of my word… Taught me how to be a man. Impacted others by leading by example
    In the song 0:41

    Randy Smith, you led by example, standing tall in Wichita

    You taught me how to be a man and how to keep my word

    To treat folks the way I’d want, and make sure they are heard

  6. His legacyRandy never backed down from a challenge… He was the life of the party, anywhere he went.
    In the song 2:30

    You were the life of the party, respected by the town

    When a challenge came your way, you never backed down

  7. His message to himI wouldn’t change anything from how you raised me… You fought with all your strength until the very end. We will make up those lost Easy Street barbecues in heaven… I am so incredibly proud to me your son
    In the song 1:15

    I’m so incredibly proud to be your son today

    You fought with all your strength until the very end

    I wouldn't change a single thing about the way I was raised

    And in heaven we'll make up those lost Easy Street barbecues

About 3 minutes of gentle questions about them, in your own words.

IIIRandy’s story

Randy was wise, funny, supportive, loving, caring, considerate, conversational and patient. He was the life of the party, anywhere he went.

He never backed down from a challenge and always found a way to achieve success for the team. In Wichita, Kansas, people were “honored to have worked with him and been around him.”

“You were the best dad in the whole world.”

What he wrote to him

His son learned from him how to fish, how to camp, how to make bonfires, how to drive and how to drive a boat. They cruised down the Indianola River on the pontoon boat, made s’mores on the fire and played HORSE and catch.

They watched western movies together, and his son listened to the old stories “100 times over.” As an adult in another state, he would call simply to say “Goodnight Dad, I love you.”

He misses their never-ending conversations, his dad’s gentle voice and loving words, his hugs and his advice on anything related to life. He misses their lunches and dinners, “especially fried catfish,” sharing a Coors Banquet beer, and watching KU Jayhawks and KC Chiefs games together.

“You fought with all your strength until the very end.”

What he wrote to him

Randy taught his son to always treat others the way he wanted to be treated, to be a man of his word and to always pursue his purpose. “Taught me how to be a man.”

He asked for a tender song for his dad, and wrote to him, “We will make up those lost Easy Street barbecues in heaven.”
