Randall James Wiggins, 53, of Metter, Ga., husband of Stacy Holloway Wiggins, passed away suddenly, Monday, August 19, 2024, at his home. Born August 18, 1971, in Emanuel County, Georgia, Randy was the only child of Jimmy R. and Betty Ann Bishop Wiggins. Randy graduated from Swainsboro High School in 1989, and lived in Swainsboro most of his life before moving to Metter several years ago. Randy worked for Flowers Bakeries in Statesboro, delivering to Claxton each day. He also operated a rollback part-time for Automite Wrecker Service in Metter. He had previously worked for B.C. Moore’s, and Wallace Computer Systems, both in Metter. Randy loved watching NASCAR, dirt track racing, and of course, his cherished Georgia Bulldogs. Planning activities for Randy during a Georgia game never worked out well. He was a devoted fan. Randy also had a love of gadgets. Any newly invented tool or gadget for camping, golf, or organizing stuff fascinated him until he acquired it and mastered it. His golf buddies always looked forward to the next new thing Randy had to show them. One of Randy’s other loves was cold weather. The colder, the better for him. He even convinced Stacy to get married on Christmas Eve … in 24-degree weather … OUTSIDE. Randy’s greatest love was his family. His mama was his best friend and they loved watching Georgia games together. He was so proud of his daughters, Anna and Alexis, and was honored to help them move after they both recently graduated from college. Randy loved Stacy and her children and grandson (who changed him from Randy to “Grandy”) with all his heart and being a part of their family brought him so much joy. His love for his constant canine companion, Roxie, defies description. Randy was predeceased by his father, Jimmy Wiggins. Left to cherish Randy’s memory are his wife, Stacy Wiggins; his mother Betty Ann Wiggins; his daughters, Anna Wiggins and Alexis Wiggins; his step-daughter and step-son-in-law, Jacy and Ethan Carver; his step-son and step-daughter-in-law, Cody and Fallon McCranie and his grandson, Douglas McCranie; aunts, JoAnn Joyner and Ruth Jenkins; mother and father-in-law, Pam and Lamar Holloway; brother-in-law, Slayde (Marsha) Holloway, and sister-in-law, Pam Holloway; and a large extended family of cousins, nieces, and nephews. Funeral services will be conducted Saturday, August 24, at 11:00 a.m., at Union Grove Methodist Church, 1168 Herndon Rd., Midville, with Pastor Mike Holt, Reverend Terry Joyner and Reverend Randy Carnley officiating.
