Randall Eugene Barhite
1964 to 2026

Randall Eugene Barhite (“Randy”) passed away unexpectedly on February 20, 2026, in Longmont, Colorado. He was 61 years old. Randy was born June 28, 1964, in Loveland, Colorado. He was preceded in death by his father, Harold E. Barhite, and his mother, Janet L. Morel. Randy is survived by his beloved wife, Tamara L. Barhite, of Frederick, Colorado.

Tamara said Randy was “the most amazing man God ever made” – he was her best friend, her soul mate, her rock, her protector, and her balance. Randy loved Tamara deeply and called her the light of his life. In their own special and quirky ways, they complemented each other and harmonized life so well together.

He loved his family and friends more than they realized and he would do anything for them without a second thought. He especially loved his “fur babies.” His chocolate lab, Morgan, was his special buddy, but he still had lots of love to share with Kimber and Kiowa (Ki), who greatly mourn his absence currently. Randy was very deeply affected when Morgan passed in 2015, and he never truly healed from that loss. It gives Tamara comfort knowing that Randy and Morgan are once again reunited in heaven.

Randy had a generous heart, he loved mentoring, and he was always willing to share his experience and knowledge with people who wanted to learn. Honesty, truth, and trust were critically important to him - they were his core values.

Randy had many hobbies, and he took great pleasure in researching and collecting a variety of rare items. He spent a couple of decades working to complete a frame-off restoration of his 1972 Pontiac GTO (and yes, he removed every original fastener, and re-cadmium plated them for reassembly). He was a perpetual dreamer and loved tinkering around the house in an effort to always make something better or more efficient. He very much enjoyed researching, finding and restoring vintage weaponry, as well as a plethora of other items and collectibles that piqued his interest.

When he wasn’t building something, restoring something or fixing something, Randy was often reading. He was inspired by stories and art related to cowboy and western themes. He was a true patriot to his core, and he embraced the values of our great nation’s founding documents. He was also uniquely fascinated by Native American Indians, the various tribe cultures and their history. He really knew a lot about so many things because he was a constant student of everything that he was passionate about. His vast knowledge and his ability to retain and recite from memory, the most obscure things would often simply stun many people, particularly his wife.

He was a silly prankster with a playful sarcastic edge, and he would laugh hysterically at Tam’s reaction when he was successfully able to surprise/scare her. He would call friends/family on the phone and ask something like “Red or Blue?” and then immediately hang up before they could answer. Ending conversations with “Love ya – bye!” was so common and natural to him, that he would sometimes get embarrassed because it was inadvertently said to a business colleague or random person – but he had a way of just laughing it off or making light of it.

Randy was the embodiment of a man’s man (very tough), often displaying an abrasive and gruff outward persona. He was opinionated with a big ego, but that ego was earned from years of hard work, learning from experience, and perseverance through many adversities he suffered in his younger years. Randy’s wisdom was gained over many years of hardship. Many had no knowledge of the circumstances that helped shape the man that Randy became, and he was profoundly grateful for certain individuals whom he credited for saving his life, at key moments, who mentored him and set him on a different path.

Randy was also the epitome of a “worrywart”. This trait often caused him to jump to the worst possible conclusion on many things but also ensured that he was over-prepared for just about anything and everything, from a hangnail to a zombie apocalypse. Although this was a bit overwhelming for his wife at times, she knew he would always be her eternal protector. The only thing he didn’t prepare her for was his unexpected sudden passing, and the unbearable pain she has experienced without him to comfort her.

Randy was actually a very sensitive soul with a softer heart than many realized. He tried to always do the right thing, and he struggled to forgive himself if he made a mistake, no matter how minor (which he often thought was much worse than it actually was). He would be deeply hurt and negatively affected by people who were disrespectful, who did not live up to their word, or who would not follow through on promises made.

Throughout his extensive career in manufacturing and QA-QC, it was important for him to know that he was valued, relevant, and making a difference. He needed to be needed, recognized, and appreciated. He stayed loyal to every company he worked for, and always gave more than 100% of himself, even if he felt undervalued or overlooked – because it was the right thing to do. If he worked for you, he cared more about making you successful than his own paycheck, and he did everything within his power and ability to ensure that outcome. If you worked for him, he would move heaven and earth to help you learn, grow, and succeed if you were willing to put in the effort.

Randy and Tamara felt that God kept opening a door that they could no longer ignore, and they were packing for a move to South Carolina within a week of his passing. Randy was very much looking forward to working for Amentum, an opportunity that would return him to his favored field within NQA-1, but the Lord called him home before he could begin the new adventure he was so excited about.

Randy is also survived by his brother, William “Bill” Barhite and his wife Karen Barhite of Silt, Colorado, sister Shellie K. Barhite of Templeton, California, niece Jaycelin Pyle, her husband Mathew Pyle, and their daughter, Katibell Rose Pyle of Sterling, Colorado; niece Sarah Spruill and her husband James “Jimmy” Spruill of Laurel, Mississippi; brother-in-law James E. Woodie and his new wife Kim of Mason, Ohio; and nephew Connor Woodie, his wife Hannah, and sons Ethan Woodie and Gideon Woodie of Villa Hills, Kentucky.

In addition to his family, Randy will be remembered and missed by countless friends, acquaintances, and those with whom he worked with throughout his career.

A celebration of Randy’s life will be held in northern Colorado in the summer of 2026, and the actual date will be announced on this web site.

In lieu of sending flowers or making a donation, please honor Randy by righting your wrongs, making peace with an adversary, and doing the difficult thing you have been avoiding. Your words, actions and inactions can profoundly impact those around you, so always strive to do the right thing, as Randy often tried to do. Tell the truth. Forgive. Hold those who are dear to you and openly share your love for them, daily. Then go live your life to the fullest with no regrets.

Please feel free to write a tribute to Randy and share how he made a difference in your life.
