Randy Barnhart

Randy Barnhart, 54, passed away peacefully at his home in Lodi, California, on November 4, 2025, surrounded by his loving family and the comforting sound of his favorite music.

Born on September 24, 1971, in Bellingham, Washington, Randy was the beloved son of Cliff and Sherry Barnhart. From a young age, he carried with him a quiet strength and a deep love for those closest to him—qualities that would define his life and relationships.

Randy shared a remarkable 31-year marriage with his high school sweetheart, Stayci Loya-Barnhart. Their enduring bond was built on mutual respect, laughter, and unwavering support. Together they raised two children: daughter Emily Barnhart and son Devin Barnhart. Randy also held a special place in his heart for his niece Julia Wilcox. His family was truly his everything.

A man of few words but great presence, Randy had a unique way of letting people know exactly where they stood with him. If he liked you, you knew it—and if he didn't, you probably knew that too. His straightforward nature was matched by a sharp sense of humor that endeared him to many. He was known for speaking his mind with honesty and wit.

Randy found joy in life's simple pleasures. He had a deep affection for birds and took pride in maintaining several birdfeeders around his home, tending to them daily with care. Meditation brought him peace and clarity, while football Sundays were cherished times spent with family. He also loved to cook and delighted in trying new recipes—often bringing creativity and flavor into the kitchen.

His dogs were constant companions who brought him comfort and joy throughout the years. They were part of the fabric of his daily life and held a special place in his heart.

Randy's passing leaves a profound void in the lives of those who knew him. His legacy lives on through the love he gave so freely to his family and the memories they now hold dear.

May his memory bring comfort to all who loved him. A private memorial was held in Bellingham Washington on November 12, 2025. A Celebration of Life will be held on January 4, 2026, from 01:00 PM to 05:00 PM at The Moose Lodge 3824 E Woodbridge Rd. We ask that all wear their Raiders gear to celebrate the man who cherished his team.
