William Randy Reinhold, beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend, unexpectedly passed away on Tuesday, September 30, 2025, just one day shy of his 62nd birthday. Born on October 1, 1963, in Hesperia, Michigan, William was a cherished resident of White Cloud, MI, where he lived a life full of love, laughter, and adventure.

A man of many talents, Chip made a career in underground sprinkling, where his hard work and dedication were evident to all who knew him. Beyond his professional life, Chip possessed a zest for the simple pleasures of life. He was an avid woodworker, an enthusiastic hunter and fisherman, and loved spending his days outdoors. He also had a passion for golfing and BBQing for family gatherings. Chip found immense joy in raising his grandchildren and cherished every moment spent with family, watching sports, and observing the wildlife around him.

He is survived by his devoted wife, Rhonda Reinhold, who stood by his side through all of life's journeys. Chip's legacy lives on through his children, Brandon Alviar and Michael (Courtney Fletcher) Kinney, and his treasured grandchildren, Isabel Feyen, Christian (Isabelle Rumsey) Alviar, Kaylyn (David Wachter) Alviar, Emma Alviar and his great-grandchild Parker Alviar. Chip is also survived by his brother Kurt (Bonnie) Reinhold, sister-in-law Anna (Gary VanBusKirk) Golliver, brother-in-law Rob (Dawn) Alviar, Aunt Donna Austin, and father-in-law Lupe Alviar. His special friendship with Brian Johnson and his many nieces and nephews are testaments to the strong bonds he formed throughout his life. Chip was preceded in death by his parents, Frederick and Patricia Reinhold, his son Jeremy Alviar, and his mother-in-law Rosemary Alviar.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly asks that donations be made to assist with unexpected future expenses, honoring Chip's generous spirit and love for family. A celebration of life will be held at a later date to honor William's memory, where family and friends will gather to share stories, laughter, and tears, remembering a man who touched so many lives. Arrangements are being handled by Crandell Funeral Home - Fremont Chapel.
