Would you post -- and ping others -- for prayers for a friend of mine? He was one of my first husband's very, VERY best friends, and a very caring, sincere, loving, talented young guy (he was 41) with a marvelous sense of humor. He was in our wedding party, when I married my first hubby, Randy Mason. Our friend's name is Randy Hardison, and he was a successful songwriter and musician.
Last weekend, he was brutally attacked while out getting his mail from his mailbox(!), and his skull was crushed in. He was in a coma until this past Tuesday morning, when he died. The police have officially labeled it a murder, and I am beside myself, because I can't imagine who would want to hurt Randy Hardison, much less kill him?!
The only possible reason I can think of -- and it seems far-fetched -- is that Randy Hardison was Garth Brooks' studio session drummer, and was under contract, so no one else could get those jobs. He was "locked in," so to speak. He was Brooks' session drummer, and that was that. No other drummer had a chance; the job was taken. By Randy Hardison. For years to come. It seems so terribly ridiculous that someone would kill Randy for that, but he was NOT robbed, and the police are stumped.
His friends, and especially his family, deserve to know the truth. Randy deserves to have his killer(s) caught and punished. Please post for others to pray, if they will, that whoever murdered Randy will NOT get away with it??
