Age 55, passed unexpectedly early in the morning on September 10, 2022 in his Taos, NM home. Randall spent the majority of life in southern California and Kansas City, Missouri. After years of loving the beauty and vibe of Taos from afar and visiting as often as he could, he made Taos his permanent home in 2018. Randall had his Master's Degree in Counseling Psychology and was an LPCC. He worked within mental health services his entire career. In his last years, he found his perfect fit in substance abuse treatment at Shadow Mountain Recovery Center in Taos. Randall was intelligent, stubborn, caring, spiritual, and opinionated. He was sweet and sensitive yet incredibly strong and protective. He loved his family, friends, live music, basketball, birds of prey, the beach, beer, coffee, sunsets, convertibles, motorcycles, and his back "dorch." Randall was preceded in death by his grandparents and little sister, Rachel Staton. He is survived by his two daughters, Emery and Ellis Staton; his two sisters, Rena Lolley and Rhonda Staton; and his parents, Julia and Knofel Staton, as well as three nephews, two great-nieces and one great nephew. A celebration of life will likely be held on October 1st in Kansas City and October 15th in Taos, NM. For more exact details and to receive more information, please e-mail [email protected].

His kindness and friendship to me during one of the darkest periods of my life, all while he and family were also living it, has stayed with me ever since. I will never forget his big booming laugh, his intellect, and the way he could make you feel like he was looking right into you. I have no words to express my sympathy to the rest of my beloved Statons and am so grateful I was given the chance to reunite with him recently.

Randall impacted our world in a positive forceful manner. And he used 'four letter' words to do it! I will miss our annual emails Shadow Mountain Brother.

Your smile is contagious, your heart is giving, your self is shared. SO many of us in the world need you, and you were there. Those of us still here will be there for anyone that needs us, we just need to be kicked by you to get us there..... That memory is the kicking now, but the hearts are full of love and tears as we think of you. Miss you my brother!
