James Randall "Randy" Brinson, age 66, of Wallace passed from this life to his eternal rest on Friday, May 17, 2024 at ECU Health Duplin Hospital.

He was born on July 20, 1957, in Duplin County; the son of the late James D. and Penny McNeil Brinson.

Surviving to cherish his memory is his loving wife of 48 years, Susan Jarman Brinson; daughter, Shannon Sykes and husband Terrance of Warsaw; grandchildren Tyler Brinson and fiancé Aliyah, Zach Brinson and Jaydn Stanley; brother Tracy Brinson of Wallace; sister, Debbie B. Carter of Wallace; numerous nieces, nephews, extended family and friends that loved Randy dearly.

Randy was a devoted husband and caring father, grandfather, and brother.  He was a simple man who enjoyed simple things, but his greatest joy was his family, especially his grandchildren.  Randy was not just a mechanic, he was the "best master technician" and could fix almost anything.  He was employed for over 40 years as an auto technician at the Ford dealerships in Wallace. In his spare time, Randy enjoyed any kind of drag racing.  With a big heart Randy would give the shirt off his back to anyone in need.  He loved to joke and make others laugh.   Most of all, Randy had a personal relationship with the Lord and today is in the presence of Jesus.  He will be missed but never forgotten.

Graveside funeral service will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday, May 22, 2024, at Riverview Memorial Park, Watha with the Reverend Charles Corbett officiating.

The family will receive friends from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Tuesday, May 21, 2024, at Quinn-McGowen Funeral Home in Wallace.
