Randall “Randy” Raymond Reinhart was born December 14, 1946, in New Ulm to Raymond and Elenora (Sprenger) Reinhart. He grew up in New Ulm and attended Cathedral High School and later began working at the turkey plant in Madelia. Always in search of adventure, Randy spent a short time living in Washington state before returning to Minnesota in 1971. Once back home, he worked for Wallner Construction and Skyline Homes in New Ulm.

On May 4, 1974, Randy was united in marriage to Marsha Lundholm at Redeemer Lutheran Church in New Ulm. Randy worked at the Rye Mill until it was lost to fire in 1981. Following that turning point, he and several of his former coworkers built his first hog barn, marking the beginning of his life as a fifth-generation family farmer. This proud tradition continues today, as his son carries on as the sixth generation Reinhart to farm that same land. In addition to raising crops, Randy also raised hogs, sheep, geese, and even had pet deer and crows over the years, embracing the full life of a dedicated and hardworking farmer.

Randy was known for his strong work ethic, ambition and determination.  He was resourceful and took pride in making the most of what he had.  Even when times were lean, there was always enough, and with his ingenuity and creativity , he created a life filled with meaningful memories for his family.  He was immensely proud of the life he built alongside his wife, Marsha as well as the family they raised together.

Randy had a great sense of humor and never missed an opportunity to share a good story. Randy’s adventurous spirit and willingness to take chances led him to experience life fully. He found great joy in riding his motorcycle, traveling, and hunting big game. For over 30 years, he made annual trips out west to Montana with a close group of friends.

Randy was a devout member of Redeemer Lutheran Church in New Ulm and a past member of the Flying Dutchmen Motorcycle Club.

Randy will be remembered as a man who lived life with purpose, worked tirelessly, and loved deeply. His legacy lives on not only in the land he cared for and the traditions he built, but in the family he cherished and the values he instilled in them. His stories, laughter, and steadfast presence will be dearly missed, but the impact he made will continue to be felt for generations to come.
