John Randolph Polk was born on November 30, 1954, in Prentiss, MS to Bennie and Louie Dell Knight Polk. "Randy", as he was known to family and friends, experienced the New Birth by obeying the gospel several years ago. From that moment on, his life's mission was to spread the saving gospel message of Acts 2:38, telling everyone about the Jesus that gave his life for him. Randy travelled many miles in his van called the "Hillbilly Church on Wheels", witnessing for the Lord. This rolling icon was a testimony of his changed life and a gospel message for "whosoever will". Randy was a retired truck driver and a member of New Chapel United Pentecostal Church. "Pawpaw Randy" especially loved his grandchildren and will also be missed by his children, extended family and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents, Bennie and Louie Dell Polk. Randy's memory will forever be cherished by his 2 daughters, Shanna Smith (Toby) of Richland, MS, Brittany Miller (Ray) of Prentiss, MS; 2 brothers, Ricky Polk of Prentiss, MS, Dale Polk of Prentiss, MS, 1 sister, Sandi Burnett of Gatlinburg, TN; 10 grandchildren, Christian Smith, Douglas Freeman, Jaci Smith, Kendall Freeman, Gracyn Freeman, Myles Smith, Hayden Miller, Mason Miller, Jaysen Miller and Aiden Smith. Serving as Pallbearers are Nathan Thurman, Christian Smith, Phillip Watkins, Anthony Polk and Andy Polk.
