Mr. Middleton Elliott Randolph, Jr.

Middleton Elliott Randolph, Jr. passed away peacefully at home on November 21, 2024, surrounded by his family. Known for his integrity, sense of humor, storytelling, and radiant smile, Elliott lived a full and meaningful life, devoted to his family and sustained by lifelong friendships. Born on January 10, 1942, in Baltimore, MD, Elliott was the son of Dr. M. Elliott Randolph, a Johns Hopkins ophthalmologist, and Agnes Pickett Davis, a homemaker. He attended Calvert School and Gilman School in Baltimore before graduating from Episcopal High School in Alexandria, Virginia. Elliott cherished summers at Camp Pasquaney on Newfound Lake in New Hampshire, a place he later shared with his son and grandsons. He graduated from Rollins College in 1965 with a degree in English, where he rowed varsity crew at the Henley Regatta and joined the Kappa Alpha Order. Elliott began his career in New York City, where he met the love of his life, Nancy. They married in 1969 and soon returned to Baltimore, where he transitioned into investment management. Starting as a stockbroker with Robert Garrett & Sons and later Alex Brown & Sons, he joined First Maryland Bank’s Trust Department in 1976, becoming Senior Vice President and Chief Investment Officer in 1984. That same year, he earned his MBA from Loyola University Maryland. In 1987, Elliott joined Monument Capital Management, a boutique investment firm, before returning to Alex Brown in 1991. There, he helped establish mutual funds and managed portfolios for individuals and institutions. After Alex Brown’s acquisition by Bankers Trust, his group evolved into Brown Advisory, now a global investment advisory firm. Elliott retired as a partner in 2010. In retirement, Elliott remained active as an advisor and trustee for several family trusts. He also served on the Maryland Center for History and Culture's (formerly the Maryland Historical Society) investment and endowment committees and as a trustee for Baltimore Cemetery. A talented guitar player and collector of vintage archtop guitars, Elliott had a deep appreciation for the Great American Songbook. After his retirement, he and Nancy also shared a love of travel, exploring many parts of Africa, Asia, and Europe and savoring their visits with friends and family in the states. Elliott is survived by his beloved wife of 55 years, Nancy; daughter Allison King (William) of Baltimore; son M. Elliott Randolph III (Sarah) of Wayzata, MN; sister Pickett Randolph of Bethesda, MD; and grandchildren Charles and Phoebe King and Harper and M. Elliott Randolph IV. A celebration of Elliott’s life will take place at 11am on January 9, 2025 at the Church of the Redeemer, 5603 N. Charles St., Baltimore, MD 21210. Friends and family are invited to honor his memory. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorial contributions to the Camp Pasquaney General Scholarship Fund, 19 Pasquaney Lane, Hebron, NH 03241 (Federal Tax ID #02-0227848). Elliott will be remembered for his strong character, kindness, and playful wit. His devotion to family and enduring friendships enriched the lives of those who knew him.
