RANDOLPH, JERE STEVEN “STEVE”, 73, of Holly Springs, North Carolina passed away at his home on January 1, 2018 after a courageous battle with leukemia.
Upon retirement in late 2014, “Grandpa Steve’s” adoration for his three granddaughters prompted his decision to move to Holly Springs, N.C. to be present in their daily lives, where he also gave immeasurable help to his daughter Jennifer and son-in-law Mike. While Steve’s heart was with his grandchildren in North Carolina in his final years, “home” remained Manassas, Va.
