Charles Donald Randall

January 5, 1942 - July 21, 2020

By the grace of God and through the love and sacrifice of Jesus Christ the Son, Charles Donald Randall entered into this world on January 5, 1942 to (late parents) Christine Randall Hudson and Winfield Saunders. Donald departed this worldly life on July 21, 2020. He was affectionately known to many as "Duck" and "Little Man." Donald was born in New Kent County, Virginia, and accepted Jesus Christ as his savior at an early age. He received his education through the New Kent County school system. As a young man, Donald labored as a logger and was employed with several black-owned logging businesses in the county. Donald later moved to Washington, D.C., became a roofer and served faithfully in the roofing profession for nearly thirty-five years. He was a member of Roofers Local 30. Donald often told stories about the buildings in the DMV he worked on, particularly the federal buildings. His favorite story to tell, was the one about when he worked on the roof of the White House, and how every time the president's helicopter came in for landing, the Secret Service would have him and the other contractors working on the White House come down off the roof and lay on the ground until the president was safely inside. In retirement, Donald enjoyed watching television, especially sports. His favorite sport of all was wrestling. He also liked old westerns, game shows and on Saturday evenings, he'd faithfully watch the Breeze Country and Grown Folks Dancing programs. Occasionally, Donald received phone calls from colleagues, friends and family that interrupted his television shows. He answered the phone regardless, especially when his cousin Annabelle called him. Donald enjoyed getting the latest "scoop" from her. Left to cherish fond memories of Donald are his children Charles Randall and Chandra Jones (Douglas); aunt Annie-Mae Traverse and a host of cousins, extended family and friends.
