Randall Edward Bass

Randall Edward Bass, 67, of Seligman, passed away surrounded by the love of his family on Feb. 17, 2026. Born and raised in Branson, he proudly graduated from Branson High  School and carried his small-town roots with him throughout his life.  
 
  He was born to Harold and Etta Bass, who preceded him in death, along with his brother, Roger Bass. 
 
He is survived by his devoted wife, Mary Bass, whom he married on April  3, 2015. He also leaves behind his sons, Clayton Bass and wife Alanna, and their sons, Ayden and Cooper, and Lonnie Bass. He is further survived by his brother, Curtis and wife MaryAnn; his sister, Denise Bass Henry and husband Dean; six stepchildren as well as many cherished nieces, nephews and grandchildren.  
 
  Throughout his life, he was known for his strong work ethic and entrepreneurial spirit. He worked for Springfield Coca-Cola, worked livestock, owned and operated  a convenience store, and served as a branch manager of a fastener supplier. No matter the role, he took pride in providing for his family and serving his community. He found joy in working on the farm, taking motorcycle rides, and “piddling” with anything and everything he could get his hands on. Whether fixing, building, or tinkering, he was happiest when he was busy and outdoors.  
 
  He will be remembered for his dedication to family, his steady presence, and the love he gave so freely. His memory will live on in the heart of all who knew and loved him.  
 
Graveside services were at 11 a.m. Friday, Feb. 20, 2026 at Washburn Prairie Cemetery in Washburn, under direction of Fohn Funeral Home in Cassville. Pastor Ryan Pendergraft will conduct the services. 
 
The family received friends from 6-8 p.m. Thursday at Fohn Funeral Home in Cassville.
