Randy W. Best was born May 15, 1952 in Bloomington, Illinois, to William and Dolores (Dunning) Best. He graduated from Moline High School in 1970 and went on to play baseball at Illinois Wesleyan.

Randy had always been an avid outdoorsman loving to hunt and fish. From the late 80's into the middle 90's he earned several fishing sponsorships including Browning, Storm Lures, and Brothers Bait Co. He also had a passion for antiques, buying and selling for most of his life. He and his wife enjoyed the last 11 years in Fort Myers, discovering new restaurants and cuisines, while still finding himself outdoors fishing and shelling with her on the beach.

He is survived by his wife Mary (Behnken) Best, son Aaron (Courtney) Best, granddaughter Bailey Best, son Adam Best, his mother Dolores Best, brother Tracy (Cathy) Best, along with three nephews Tyler, Ryan, Christopher and their families. He is preceded in death by his father Bill Best.
