Randy Scott Beebe

Randy will be remembered for his generous spirit, his big heart and wide smile, his love for his family, and devotion to his four-legged companions. He lived his life fully and shared joy with all whom he encountered. If you knew him, you loved him.

Randy Scott Beebe, 74, of Avondale Estates, Georgia, passed away on February 10, 2026.

Randy was born in Columbus, Georgia on November 10, 1951. He grew up alongside his sisters, Linda and Faye, and his brothers, Larry and later James. His mother, Bonnie York Pritchard, instilled within him the importance of justice and equality, ideals which Randy carried with him throughout his life. Although his childhood was simple, the Beebe household was happy and full of love.

Randy's career at AT&T started as a lineman for Bellsouth, which later became AT&T. He was drafted into the Vietnam War, where he served his country in the U.S. Air Force. After completing his military service, he returned to AT&T and worked his way up to fiber optics manager for the Eastern United States. While juggling work responsibilities during his early career, he graduated from college and went on to earn an Executive Masters Degree from Georgia Tech.

In 1978, Danielle Beebe was born. Being a father came naturally to Randy. He was always able to find the perfect balance between providing support and advice and encouraging his daughter to be independent. He was so very proud of his Danielle Beebe. He shared his love of travel with her at an early age. Their weekends were often filled with trips to various spots around the city and beyond, earning Randy the nickname among Danielle's friends of Adventure Dad. He encouraged Danielle to live life fully and parented without judgment.

After more than 30 years with AT&T, Randy retired. He set out across the country in his RV, making friends everywhere he went. Randy returned to Georgia, and in 2006, while in Savannah, he met Stacy. He proposed the following year, and in 2008 married the love of his life surrounded by friends and family. Randy and Stacy traveled the world together, sharing such sights as Argentina's Tierra del Fuego, the coast of Croatia and the view from Gibraltar of Africa rising from the clouds. Each trip was an adventure, made only more special when Danielle was able to join them. Whether traveling, dining at a local restaurant, locking down during a global pandemic, or boating on Lake Lanier, Stacy and Randy enjoyed a life filled with laughter and joy.

Randy brightened any room that he entered, often arriving with his signature salmon prepared on his Big Green Egg. He adored people, and they adored him. He grew close to Stacy's parents, helping them fix this and that around their house, and bonding over their love of all things Georgia Tech.

Randy also loved animals and was especially attached to his dogs, Maggie, Ellie Mae, and Bear. He served as the treasurer of Paws Between Homes, a nonprofit organization that provided temporary foster housing to pets of those who were facing housing instability. In 2025, Paws Between Homes became part of the Atlanta Humane Society's Pets in Crisis Program. Randy also served on the Avondale Estates Board of Commissioners, provided facilities management services to Decatur Town Center and the Decatur First United Methodist Church, and volunteered for the Atlanta Legal Aid Society as well as various state and federal parks during his RV adventures.

Randy was preceded in death by his parents, JC Beebe and Bonnie York Pritchard, and his sister Linda Beebe Wheeler. He is survived by his wife, Stacy Reynolds, his daughter, Carman Danielle Beebe, and his siblings Faye Hindson, Larry Beebe, and James Pritchard.
