Mr. Hays was born in Lubbock on March 14, 1946, to S. D. and Judy McDonell Hays. He graduated from Peacock Military Academy in San Antonio.

From this union was born a daughter, Shanna, and a son, Shawn.
He enjoyed the memorable times traveling with the kids taking them to compete in numerous Quarter Horse shows across many states and Canada. Randy was most proud to be "G-Paw" to his two grandsons, Bryce and Hunter and enjoyed taking them rabbit hunting and letting them drive the pickup on pasture roads. He ranched in New Mexico and in Dickens, as well as in Snyder.
Randy is preceded in death by his parents and by his daughter, Shanna.
Survivors include his wife; his son, Shawn Hays and his wife, Tammy, and grandsons, Bryce and Hunter Hays, all of Nocona; a brother-in-law, Tommy Ault and wife, Veronica “Ronnie,” of Lometa; two nieces, Stacy Hendrick and her husband, Jason, and Joni Thorp and husband, Randy, and also one nephew, Thad Ault, all of Lampasas; and numerous cousins, great nephews and nieces. Also left to honor his life are many faithful friends whose prayers helped sustain the family through the darkest times.
