Randall “Randy” Craig Connaway, age 63, of Weatherford, Texas, passed away on Tuesday, May 17, 2016, at Weatherford Regional Medical Center.  Randy was born July 13, 1952, in Weatherford, to Harmon Lee Connaway and Norma Jane “Pee Wee” (Hunt).  Randy was a welder by trade. He will affectionately be remembered for his soft-spoken manner and for being a kind and generous man who was willing to help anyone in need.  Randy made sandwiches and gave money to the homeless ($7 each) on a regular basis until he became ill.  While visiting the Philippines with his wife in 2012, there was a 7.9 magnitude earthquake followed by flooding.  Thousands were left homeless and hungry.  He told his mother-in-law, who owned a small grocery store, “Take care of the people. Don’t worry about it, I’ll take care of it.”  Randy enjoyed reading his Bible and listening to music especially country & gospel music.  Most of all, Randy cherished time spent with his family and his beloved dogs Bruno and Susie.  Randy is survived by his loving wife, Annalie; children, Michelle Connaway and Steven Connaway;  grandchildren, Emily Rose, Nicholas and Sarah Connaway; his sisters Marcia Lee White(Gunda Kirk) and Sherree Chitty(Brian); brothers, Ron Massey, John Connaway,(Deborah Deschaine) and James Davis; and by nieces, nephews, and cousins. Randy was preceded in death by his parents.
