Malik Randolph

With heavy hearts and profound sadness, we announce the passing of Malik Randolph, a beloved son, brother, and father, who left this world far too soon on September 11, 2026. Born on September 14, 1996, in Harrisburg, PA, Malik's life, though brief, was filled with joy, laughter, and love that touched all who knew him. Malik was a cherished son to his mother, Ieshia Randolph, brother Tyrese Randolph and sister Destiny Randolph, and also a devoted father to his three beautiful children: Malik Randolph Jr., Liam Randolph, and Hayden Randolph. His children were the light of his life, and he relished every moment he spent with them, creating memories that will be treasured forever. A proud alumnus of John Harris High School, Malik was known for his passion for football. The sport was not just a game to him; it was a way to connect with friends and express his boundless enthusiasm and energy. His school years were marked by the same qualities that defined his life: a radiant smile, infectious laughter, and a spirit that could light up any room. Malik had a gift for spreading joy. His silliness and warmth were his trademarks, and he had a unique ability to bring people together with his lighthearted nature. Whether he was spending time with his family, engaging in spirited "biddle" games with his mother and friends, or simply sharing a moment of joy, Malik's presence was a blessing to all. Tragically, Malik's life was cut short by an act of gun violence, a loss that has deeply affected his family and community. Despite this devastating end, his legacy of love and happiness will continue to inspire those he leaves behind. Malik is survived by his loving mother, Ieshia Randolph; his brother, Tyrese Randolph; his sister, Destiny Randolph; and a host of other family members and friends who will forever hold him in their hearts. In their own words, "Malik will be genuinely missed. We love you, Malik. May you rest in peace." In accordance with the family's wishes, a private funeral ceremony will be held to honor Malik's life and memory. For those who wish to honor Malik's memory, the family kindly suggests making a donation to a charity of their choice. As we say goodbye to a remarkable young man, we hold onto the joy and love he brought into our lives. Malik Randolph will always be remembered for his laughter, his light, and his everlasting spirit.
