Randy Lemmon, a well-known radio personality, died on Wednesday, January 4, at the age of 61, as a result of stroke complications. KRIV broadcaster Chris Tritico posted an image on Facebook, characterizing Lemmon as a nice person with a tremendous heart. The message went on to say,
“When Brian Clary and I were doing Hearsay, Randy’s program, GardenLine, was right on our tail. Brian and I would storm into the studio during his last part and take over his program. Randy, no matter what he tried, couldn’t stop us. We had a terrific time. “I’ll miss him…”
Steven Kay, Radio Producer & Traffic Reporter of KSEV AM 700 – The Voice of Texas, also expressed homage to Randy on Facebook, writing that he met Randy when he joined The GardenLine as a producer in 2011. Randy, according to Steven, always treated him with dignity. He also said that they remained in touch when Steven departed IHeartMedia Houston. Steven closed his article with,
“I wish I had done it more often. H-town radio lost a huge voice, and the world lost a fine guy. My buddy, rest in peace. Although we all agree that this is much too soon, you hit the ground running as always.”
Randy is survived by his wife, Yvonne Lemmon, and their two children, Randal and Selena, as well as other relatives.
