Dear Inez, Linda, Lucy, Josh, Helen, Jody, and Willie,
I feel so grieved at the loss of Randy, I feel like I knew him through all of you. I have heard so many stories, and you all spoke of him with such pride, I knew he was a special person. I am watching the memorial service as I type this. Inez, you have always been one of my all time favorite people! You must be proud of the impact your son made on the world. You must also be heartbroken at his loss. Your whole family is in my thoughts and prayers.

Can’t believe it! Randy “Baja” was one of the hardest working, fun loving man you could be. I was on tour with Baja on ZZ TOP’s World Wide Texas Tour . Had many a fun night but long days with him . Never ever saw him without a smile on his face no matter the circumstances. Last saw him out on one of Brooks and Dunn tours. He will be missed but never forgotten. Prayers and thoughts for all his family and friends.

I had the honor of driving Baja for many years on Brooks & Dunn I was a Lighting crew chief for him on Brooks & Dunn before becoming a bus driver . We always had knoxville as One big thing in common I would pick him up at Watt Road and when we came in to Nashville and drop the others he would say Joe C take me to my babies I’ve waited years they have a hometown knoxville Driver to pick me up in Knoxville and bring me back to my loved ones in Knoxville I was so proud . Going to miss you my brother and love you sir .

I had the pleasure of working with Baja on a few KU shows at CMAC in Canandaigua, NY. The tour had a day off before the show and while we treated most of the crew to a fun day on the lake, Baja just wanted to fish. He spent the day with my nephews who were 2 and 7 at the time on our pond fishing. The next day he shared photos of them with me and he reminisced about his daughters when they were young and shared how proud he was of them and all they have accomplished now.
Though I only was able to spend a couple of days of him when his tour would stop at our venue over the years, he had a tremendous impact on me. He lit up the room and had a heart you don’t easily forget.
Baja is a legend, and will be truly missed.

What can I say about Baja that hasn't been said so many times already?
I have know Baja ever since he joined Keith's touring group, and actually, before that, as I had met him many times while he was with Brooks & Dunn.
He was a warm, loving man who loved everyone, and life. He would light up the room with his perennial smile, and our world is a sadder place without him.
Baja, I wish I could have seen you more often, but unfortunately, Covid put a stop to touring.
I will forever be grateful I was fortunate enough to know you.
RIP, my friend. We will meet again.
Marienne.

To Inez, Natalie,Lucinda and all the Fletcher family. My deepest, sincere, and heartfelt condolences. My prayers are with you. As you know Randy was quite simply my very best friend. I had that privilege for over forty years. Twenty of those years we rode a tour bus together.It sounds impossible but it was literally one million miles.I cherish every moment and every memory. Anyone who was lucky enough to know him loved him and the world was a better place with him in it. His world was Faith, Family, and Friends. He loved the Lord and and was a witness to others. He always gave more than he took and he made everyone feel important. Baja was a force of nature and as the the saying goes from Where The Buffalo Roam, "he stomped on the Terra". On the afternoon of August 24th I got to spend three hours with him. We had a wonderful visit.
I now realize realize I was given a most precious gift. Our last words were I love you. Then we hugged each other. He had on a shirt that said "Life is Good". I am shocked and saddened but our loss is Heaven's gain. The Angels rejoice upon his arrival. Every day is a gift, that is why it is called the present ...and life IS good. I will not say good bye and we will meet again O Brother Of Mine at that Great Gig In The Sky.

I started my life in music,with the friendship of Randy Fletcher and John williams, the handlers for zz top. i was 18. Randy was extremely open and inclusive for the thin hippie bass player who used to show up and help set up the show,for that little item known as a backstage pass. There is so very much more that i could say.. but you ALL know the man i knew and this warmth he shared,has carried me with his spirit for every note of every song,or show,or tour or.. from 1973 till a moment ago when i saw that he had passed. I am broken today. I cared for this great soul for an entire lifetime. Randy- You will walk with me, until the last breath i take. thank you. monte
~ Monte thomas - September 7, 2021

Your always in my thoughts everyday.

Dear Family of Randy Fletcher,
I am sorry to hear of the loss of Randy.
He was a special man and a friend to all. He just made everyone and me feel special. I enjoyed visiting with him when he was available to attend church at Concord. He just had a special talent.
He loved and cared for all of his family.
~ TED GIBSON - September 6, 2021
My heartfelt condolences to the family. I have known Baja for 30 plus years. As a talent buyer, I chose Brooks and Dunn
In 1996 to open Oakdale Theater in Ct, because of Baja. I knew the show would go on without a glitch as the best in the business
was handling our first show. Throughout the years, we worked together numerous times, and he would share pictures of his beautiful family. I am so saddened to hear this news, as he was truly one of a kind.

To my dear friend, colleague, gentleman, and one of the most incredible beautiful hearts and souls I have ever met. I met Baja nearly 40 years when I was young pup on the Waylon tour 1984, then we spend 6 years together on Randy Travis traveling the world, Baja was is a mentor, colleague, and a true professional. There are so many incredible stories and memories that we share together over the years, I will never forget that incredible smile one of my true road brothers.
I said my deepest sympathy, prayers, and love to Lucinda, Natalie, Marty, Inez, Linda, Lucy and the entire family.
Baja you will always be in my thoughts every time I step in a venue or on stage! Here’s to your incredible life, Love you brother
All the best my friend, Pup
~ Dave “Pup” Longwill - September 5, 2021
To have loved and been loved by such an incredible human is a blessing indeed. I’m so sorry for your loss. May God’s peace, the support of loved ones and beautiful memories bring you comfort.

Our hearts are broken here in Virginia. Randy was a very close high school friend. The friendship turned into family over the years. He would take me to high school just about everyday and his sister Linda is like a sister to me. When Randy was able to come home during the holidays he was Santa Claus to our children and had the biggest heart with that wonderful laugh. If his touring brought him close to us we had backstage passes and we were able to visit with him. He never forgot us and we never forgot him. He was bigger than life. Always had a smile and loved everyone. We stayed in touch with Randy all through his years in the music industry. He loved what he did and touched everyone he met. He was a professional with a personal touch. We will miss him dearly. God bless his lovely daughters Lucinda and Natalie and his mother Inez, Sister’s Linda and Lucy and the extended family. May God give you peace and comfort. Randy will always be in our hearts.

Baja was always the ultimate professional and was a friend to everyone who came in contact with him. I'm so thankful I got to work seven years with him on the B&D tours. We kept in touch ever since with texts and emails to catch up on touring and family. He loved his girls and I always enjoyed hearing what they were doing in their lives. He will be missed by so many, but never forgotten. Rest in Peace Buddy.

Randy Baja Fletcher was one of the most professional and genuinely nicest people I have ever had the pleasure of working with in my 40 years of touring. From our first meeting in Myrtle Beach in 1980 through working with him years later on the Brooks and Dunn / Alan Jackson tour to Keith Urban he was Always the same …. The Best. We will forever miss his stories and that smile. Baja now has his Waylon wings for real. Fly on buddy.
