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 a man who gave generously of his time and heart. He was kind, loving, and deeply devoted to his family. Known for his strong work ethic, ambition, and determination, he built a life rooted in hard work and pride. Randy was resourceful and took pride in making the most of what he had. Even when times were lean, there was always enough, and through his creativity and ingenuity, he created a life filled with meaningful memories for his family. These are just some of the values and memories he passed down to his children and grandchildren.

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 also a patient and compassionate man, someone who truly listened and cared. He taught his family to appreciate life, to be grateful for what they had, and to remember that there is a big world out there meant to be explored. He was immensely proud of the life he built alongside his wife, Marsha, as well as the family they raised together. Pride in his family, especially his children and grandchildren was evident in all he did. Time spent with his family was what he treasured most in life.

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.
