Obituary - Randy Wayne Hackle Kennedy-Brannen Funeral Home, Metter Chapel
Randy Wayne Hackle of Cobbtown and Statesboro, devoted husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather; retired farmer, bait-and-tackle salesman and mechanic, left this life Sunday evening, January 3, 2021, after hospitalization for a brief but intense illness. He was 71.
A graduate of Metter High School and Swainsboro Tech, Randy applied skilled hands and a keen mind to continue learning and doing new things throughout his life. From turning family cars into street rods and powering up CB radios in the 1970s and 80s to setting up a machine shop, where he milled blocks of steel into precision target rifles in the 90s, he pursued hobbies with an intensity that turned some of them into near professions.
