Randall Charles Goldmann

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of a truly unique and unforgettable man, taken from us far too soon at the age of 64. Though he often called himself a loner, those who knew him well understood that beneath that rugged exterior lived a deep, steady love-one he held fiercely for his brothers, his mother, and his family.
A quiet observer of life, he found joy in the simple and the natural. He had an abiding passion for the outdoors, for the plants he nurtured, and for the earth he longed to live from. Nature was his sanctuary, and his reverence for Native American heritage shaped his world with a sense of wisdom, humility, and respect.
He was never happier than when he was surrounded by the land, living simply, freely, and on his own terms.

He was a man of many small passions and endless curiosities-always dabbling, always learning, always creating. Whether he was cooking up something new in the kitchen or experimenting with the next project to catch his interest, he approached life with a quiet zest that could surprise you if you weren't looking closely.
Known for his famously dry sense of humor, he could deliver a line so straight-faced you'd never see the joke coming-only to follow it with his cute, unmistakable giggle that softened even the hardest day. Eccentric, opinionated, blunt, and absolutely set in his hard-headed ways, he was unapologetically himself. And if you knew him, truly knew him, you couldn't help but love him for it.

Though he often insisted he wasn't a "people person," in his final days he allowed himself to admit-with a shy smile-that maybe he was one after all. Because the truth is, he touched people. Deeply. Quietly.
Unexpectedly.
He carried his demons, and he fought the ones he could. He met life with grit, humor, and a stubborn resilience that lasted until his very last breath. His path wasn't always easy, but it was his, and he walked it with authenticity that few ever master.
He leaves behind a family who will forever miss his presence, his laughter, his quirks, and the irreplaceable light he brought simply by being exactly who he was.
A one-of-a-kind spirit, gone but never forgotten.
May he find the peace, freedom and wide-open spaces he always longed for.
