On January 19, 1958, in the small town of Nacogdoches, Texas, Randolph Gibson, also known as Enoch, was born to Willie and Eugenia Gibson. He made a name for himself because he was so loving and funny. He never met a stranger! Once you met Enoch, you never forgot him! He loved telling his life stories and making you laugh.
Enoch moved to Atlanta, Georgia, where he raised his three infant children as a single parent ( Afryea, Kahleel, and Semone). When the children became older, Enoch moved to Houston, Texas.
Enoch’s family extended beyond his birth family. He shared his love and heart with Vicke Arnold (who gave him the name “Enoch”), and her daughter Maryam Boseman. Darlene Tarkington, and her children, Haley Collins, Devon Collins, Malaysia Evans, and, Drakkar, Jr. As well as, Juanita (Xlylmah) Gumbs, Gionna Gumbs, Marquis Gumbs Boykin, Skye’lyn and Zamira Boykin Gumbs.
Enoch loved people so much that he would feed the ones in need, take care of them, and even bring them into his home to live.
Enoch was strong and always had positive words to share with individuals. Even though he was very sick toward the end of his life, he still helped people and did things on his own. The day before he passed, Enoch mustered up the energy to drive to the beach to enjoy the waves.
Randolph “Enoch” Gibson truly will be missed. However, as Enoch always says in his Rastafari accent. “Don’t Worry, Everything’s, Gonna Be Alright.” One Love! He was preceded in death by his father, Willie Gibson, and his oldest brother, Azikiwe (Zik) Joe Dell Jones.
Left to cherish the memories of Enoch is his long-time companion, Rosalind Henderson and, his mother, Eugenia Gibson: children: Afryea Gibson, Kahleel Gibson, and Semone Gibson; 2 grandchildren: Ayden Nelson, Samira Turner: siblings John Eric Jones (Dorothy), Regina Faye McDowell (Michael), Tangela Gibson Walton: uncles and aunt: Jerry and Margie Jones, Paul Jones, and a host of nieces, nephews, and sisters-in-law.
