My name is Christopher and I am (was) RandallFlaggs son. I tried days ago to post a quick message about my Father but for some reason it wouldn't take?
My Father passed sometime between July 28th and August 30th of this year. He died attempting to help people who could not help themselves. I can't/won't go into much detail but needless to say, his family (my Mother, Sister and I) are devastated, however we know that he wouldn't have his service be any other way.
It was a private venture into another country and he was to provide logistic support for other men. Unfortunately, as they were achieving their goal of helping folks out, they faced an ambush and may Father and 2 others were killed. I have it on good authority though that he took several with him, though.
Mom talked about how much he loved engaging on this forum. She gave me his logon information and I thought I would post this quick note to inform all of his passing. Sorry, it has taken a while to commemorate Dad, but we were asked to "keep it under wraps" for a time.
Thanks to all of you who wrote to him on his time here.
Goodbye Chief!! You will be remembered forever. RIP Dad.

One of my Dad's best friends, a retired Colonel, who was with them on their trip has contacted my Dad's publisher and asked to do a "final chapter" in his book. They are currently working that out. As soon as it becomes available I will let you all know.
Still, I can not thank you all enough from the bottom of my heart for the kind messages that you have all posted. My Father, although "elderly" was never one to shy away from what he considered to be his duty. Mom tried to talk him out of going, but she knew it was a waste of time so, as many times in the past, she kissed him goodbye and told him "See you when you get back". Unfortunately, this was his last ride. Knowing my Father however, he would have wanted it this way.
Now, his ranch is on my shoulders to take care of and I will. Every day when I see the sun coming up, his horse stomping around in the barn, coffee on the stove, I think of him fondly.
God bless you all. Thanks again for your kind responses.
I'm super sad to hear the news. He was truly a great American and understood the true cost of freedom and the reality we face in this country with the erosion of freedoms. I had hopes of meeting him sometime in Wyoming when I passed through on the way to Montana. I also would enjoy reading his book if it was/will be published. Unfortunately, it sounds as though he went to clean up some of that afghan debacle...so in memory of your Dad, "LET'S GO BRANDON!". I also hope he left you the location where all of his guns fell out of the boat and are at the bottom of the lake... :-) [Reply]

Hello Christopher,
I'm sorry to hear of this, I know it's hard on you and your family. Be as strong as you can in this time, for your family and I'm sure they'll do the same bud. Your dad was a good man and well received by the crowd here on Chiefs Planet. I would love if one day you'd make an account of your own and hang out with us. Would love to have you post more when the time is right for you.
So sorry for your loss Christopher. I sincerely wish all the best to you and the rest of your family. I haven't been on here all that long but your dad was an incredible poster on here and a patriot irl. RIP to RandalFlagg. Your dad will never be forgotten [Reply]
I'm not taking deaths well too many lately I'm sorry to hear this although didn't interact much with him I've always liked him as a poster and thought was a cool guy.
I'd rather it be me than the loved ones of others [Reply]
