Paul Douglas Randolph Jr., M.D., affectionately known as Doug.

He was a devoted father, son, brother, uncle, farmer and friend; Doug was a source of strength, love and humor to all who had the privilege of knowing him. Born on July 9,1962, in Thomasville, Georgia, Doug was the son of Bernice Fitzgerald Randolph and Paul Douglas Randolph, M.D. He was one of four children, growing up in a family filled with love, laughter, and support. From a young age, Doug demonstrated a deep sense of responsibility and a natural ability to care for those around him. His dedication to family, work and community was unwavering. Doug’s life was marked by his hard work and commitment to farming, where he poured his heart and soul into everything he did. His strong work ethic, sense of humor, and generosity were qualities that touched the lives of many. Whether he was helping a neighbor, spending time with his family, or simply sharing a laugh, Doug had a unique way of making everyone feel important and loved. He was born into a family dedicated to service and medicine, and he followed in their footsteps with a lifelong commitment to both. Doug graduated from Rhodes College in 1984, pursued his post-baccalaureate studies at Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska, in 1985. His passion for medicine led him to the Medical College of Ohio in Toledo, where he earned his Doctor of Medicine degree in 1990. It was during this time in Toledo that he met his beloved Donna Randolph, M.D., with whom he would share a life full of love, adventure and professional achievement. After completing their post-graduate studies in New York, Doug and Donna returned to Memphis where Doug’s medical career flourished. Together, they raised two sons, Paul Randolph, Esq. and Ronald Randolph (Victoria), Engineer, both of whom carry forward Doug and Donna’s legacy of hard work, integrity and compassion. Doug’s legacy also lives on through his siblings; his two sisters, Paula Randolph Greenfield, M.D. and Pamela Randolph Jackson, M.D. (Darron Jackson) and his brother Patrick Fitzgerald Randolph, M.D. (Bonnie Randolph, M.D.). Doug was deeply loved by his family and friends, and his impact on the lives of those who knew him will not be forgotten. He was preceded in death by his mother and father, and is survived by his wife, children, and extended family who will miss him dearly. Doug treasured his membership in his Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity founded in 1906 and Sigma Pi Phi also known as The Boule’ founded in 1904. Doug will be deeply missed by all who knew him, but his memory will live on in the hearts of his family and friends. His love, laughter, and the example he set will continue to inspire and guide us. We now say good-bye and godspeed to a wonderful human being. Doug, we will love you forever and we know that you will continue to watch over us.
