He was born on May 27, 1948, in Jonesboro, Arkansas, and was the son of the late Enos and Minnie Lea (Jennings) Benson. Randy had a brother who had Cerebral Palsy that passed at a young age. Randy loved his brother very much. He was very protective of him. Randy was united in marriage to Regina Elliott on June 30, 1995.

Randy was honorably discharged from the United States Air Force. Randy loved horses. His father put him on a horse when he was just two days old. His dad would take him riding everyday. When Randy was old enough he had his own horse. He learned how to break horses and in later years he showed horses for many people. Along the way he learned barrel racing. He was good at it and won many buckles. He accomplished that, then went roping.  He loved the sport and unfortunately had to give it up. Now Randy can still have his passion in Heaven.  He will certainly have a good time there.
