Randy Bennett passed away Tuesday, March 9, 2022 after a brief bout with pancreatic cancer.
He was born on July 18, 1965 to Jerry and Joann Calhoun Bennett. He attended school at S&S Consolidated ISD, graduating in 1983. He later attended Tarleton State University and graduated from Grayson County College with a degree in mathematics. In December of 1988, he married Jana Qualls and they had two wonderful children, Hank and Will. He and his family bought the Medicine Shoppe Pharmacy in Sherman in 2003 and he loved running the business and all the challenges that it brought him. In 2017 he gained an amazing daughter-in-law, Courtney Ferguson, followed by two grandchildren who were the loves of his life, Baylor and Beckam. Randy was an avid reader, home brewer and golfer. He could beat just about anyone in a game of ping pong. He will long be remembered for his kind heart, loving smile and sense of humor.
Randy leaves behind his wife, children and grandchildren, his sister, Robin Bell and her husband, John and his faithful grand dog, Ollie, as well as a large group of extended family and friends whom he considered family.
He was the best husband, father, YaYa, friend and boss man anyone could ever hope for and will be missed dearly.
A service will be held on Tuesday, March 15, 2022 at 4:00 pm at the farm where he grew up on Frog Pond Rd. Sherman.

Randy Bennett “Ben” was a wonderful husband, father and friend to many. Regardless any given situation in life “good or bad” that was sent Randy’s way, he was always the same. There are few people in life better than Randy & Jana Bennett. Rest in peace my friend and may God bless Jana and the rest of the family during this difficult time.
Janna, we are so sorry to hear about Randy. Our thoughts and prayers for you and your family. May God’s peace and comfort surround you.
I am so heartbroken to hear about Randy. He was one of my first students when I taught in Southmayd. He nearly broke me two or three times! I loved him as an only eager student can be loved. Later he and Jana lived next door to my son and daughter-in-law at West Acres. My prayers are with the family.
Jana we are so sorry to hear of this great loss. We have missed seeing you two since COVID stopped all of the meetings. Dirk and I will be praying for you and family. I cannot comprehend the magnitude of this loss.
Jana, Hank, Will and family,
Jeff & I are so very shocked and sorry to learn of “cousin Randy’s” passing.
There is nothing that we can say that could ever ease your pain. Please know that you all are in our thoughts and prayers. We will always have fond memories of the “cousin” title from the very first trade show because that was my maiden name (Bennett). You will always be our Pharmacy family. We have you in our hearts and prayers. Medicine Shoppe #1500 Altavista, VA
