Randall "Randy" Kattner

Randall “Randy” Lee Kattner, 82, of Waco, Texas, passed away peacefully on August 18, 2025, surrounded by the love of his family. His life was one filled with faith, devotion, service, and joy that will continue to inspire all who knew him.

Born in Mart, Texas, on August 5, 1943, to Wesley and Gertrude Kattner, Randy spent his childhood traveling with his family due to his father’s Air Force career. He cherished the many places they lived, but his time in Kaiserslautern, Germany—where he graduated high school—held a special place in his heart. A proud Eagle Scout, Randy later followed his father’s example of service, joining the Air Force Reserves.

Randy built a long and respected career as a banker, known for his honesty and warmth. After retirement, he continued to serve others while working part-time at Genco Federal Credit Union, where he developed lasting friendships.

The greatest blessing of Randy’s life came when he met Georgia, the love of his life. They were married on November 27, 1965, and shared nearly 60 years of a beautiful marriage rooted in love, laughter, and faith. Together they built a home in Waco and lovingly raised their son, Lance.

Randy’s faith was central to everything he did. A devoted member of Meadowbrook Baptist Church, he shared his love of music as a choir member, served as a deacon, and led with care as a Sunday School Department Director. He was also active in the community as a past president of the Waco Jaycees.

Creative and talented, Randy spent countless hours painting, drawing, and crafting treasures for his family. He found joy in the outdoors, whether fishing, golfing, or simply appreciating God’s creation. Above all, he was known for his quick wit, kind spirit, and ability to make others feel welcomed and loved.

Randy leaves behind his devoted wife, Georgia; his son Lance and wife Diana; his mother, Gertrude Kattner; grandchildren Brandon Kattner and wife Alexis, and Brooke Lancaster and husband Matt; great-granddaughters Addison Lancaster, Mallory Kattner, and Everly Lancaster; brother Ken Kattner and wife Linda; nephews Craig Campbell and Todd Kattner and wife Lori; and nieces Holly Kattner, Aimee Henderson, and Amber Scarborough. He is reunited in heaven with his father, Wesley Kattner, and his beloved granddaughter, Brittany Kattner.

A visitation will be held at 1:00 p.m., followed by a memorial service at 2:00 p.m. on Friday, August 22, 2025, at Meadowbrook Baptist Church in Robinson. Flowers, or in lieu of flowers, memorial contributions in Randy’s honor may be sent to Meadowbrook Baptist Church.

Randy will be deeply missed, but his legacy of love, laughter, and faith will continue to live on through his family, friends, and all whose lives he touched.
