Randy Pile Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
He is survived by his loving wife and partner-in-everything, Eva Pile; his daughters, Jennifer Dean (Eric) and Jessica Pile; his bonus kids, Tyler Pennington (Joanna) and Nick Fernandez (Midori); and his pride and joy – his grand kids: Austin, Alyssa, Grant, Clair, Carter, Brooklyn, Gabby, Delanie, and Jacob. He is also survived by his brother, Rusty Pile.
Randy was greeted on the other side by his parents, Betty and Russell, and his sisters Sheila and Sandy-probably with a Diet Dr. Pepper and a list of things to fix.
Randy lived a life full of sawdust, socket wrenches, and sarcastic one-liners-and he wouldn't have had it any other way. As an Auto Parts Manager, Randy was not only respected in his profession but also cherished by his community as the go-to handyman. Whether fixing the family's car, building custom furniture, or lending a helping hand, Randy's generosity and craftsmanship left a lasting mark. He loved his dogs like family, had a soft spot for classic cars, and was the kind of guy who'd give you the shirt off his back-then ask if you needed a toolbox to go with it.
More than anything, Randy was a good man. He was generous with his time, steady in his love, and endlessly dependable. If something needed doing, he'd do it-no fuss, no spotlight, just the kind of quiet strength the world could use more of.
He will be deeply missed, fondly remembered, and frequently quoted.
Celebration of life will be from 3:00 PM until 6:00 PM, Saturday, July 12, 2025, at SKY Restaurant
600 NE Sardou, Building 4A, Topeka, KS 66616

The words written about Randy here being so many memories of him to mind. One thing I don't believe I saw mentioned was his love of aircraft, particularly vintage. That love was how I originally met his dear Eva, a short while before he met her. Once he did though, he was quite firmly in her life and became a friend to me too. Over the years we shared many times together at fly-ins, small airports, big air shows, etc. This photo was taken at an Airline History Museum banquet held in January of 2007. Their connection and happiness is so evident in the photo. No words can express the sadness the loss of Randy brings to anyone who knew him but most certainly to the love of his life, Eva, and all of their shared family and friends. We're thankful for the time we had with him but we certainly wish there was more.
