Randall Fleming
Chastain
Sep 7, 1933 — May 31, 2026
Benton
Randall Fleming Chastain, 92, of Benton, Arkansas passed away peacefully on May 31, 2026. Born on September 7, 1933 in Benton, Arkansas, he was a loving father to Randall "Randy" Chastain, Joan Chastain, and Leah Osbahr. Randall attended Bryant High School before being drafted into the United States Army, where he served as a sergeant while he was stationed in Germany.
Randall spent almost 50 years as a general contractor, owning and running successful home improvement and remodeling businesses with his wife, Mary Scott Chastain, including Chastain's Kitchen and Bath and Randall Chastain Construction in Benton. He was beloved for his biting sense of humor and ability to make everyone feel comfortable whenever they were with him. He was known for having the perfect comedic timing, using phrases like "Well, for every knife, there's a
fork," and other lines that aren't appropriate for this obituary.
Before his wife Mary's passing, Randall spent many years traveling, laughing, raising children, and experiencing all the highs and lows of life with her. He spoke regularly about how much he loved and appreciated his time with her for the rest of his days.
He would sometimes say that at the end of the day, material things don't
matter and that "all we have left are our memories" as a way to encourage the people in his life to get out and live a life worth living.
Randall is also survived by his daughter-in-law Georgia Chastain and son-in- law Dennis Osbahr; his sisters Sue Hobson and Oretha Cochran; many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, long-time friends, extended family members, and last but not least, his dog Waffle.
