Randy Ray White, 73, of New Cambria, KS passed away peacefully on August 27th at his home, surrounded by his family after a short battle with cancer.

Randy was born on July 28th 1953 in Salina to Clyde and Florence White. He grew up in rural Solomon and spent his life building a legacy of the family farm, playing football (he was on the only undefeated senior football team in Solomon), and playing in multiple bands.

Randy was known for his strength, loyalty, sense of humor, and stubbornness. He found great joy in playing multiple instruments and singing, and then later in life developed a love for showing Cutting horses. Those who knew him will especially remember his ability to fix any piece of farm machinery with a colorful vocabulary, and his perfectionism in anything he endeavored.

Randy dedicated his professional life to working on and developing the family farm. He ran the Solomon elevator, ran a trucking company, owned a feedlot, and owned the Sale Barn in Clay Center. After retiring from farming he ventured into entrepreneurship (The Cowboys Weigh and Cowtown Nutrition).

Family was especially important to Randy. He is survived by his wife Jeanine, children Kayleigh Knutson (Matt) and Alexandra White, step-children, Cory, Chad, and Teresa Reiners (Travis), grandchildren Nevaeh and Paxton, step-grandchildren Auston, Dallys and Landon Carr, and Taniel and Tobi Knutson and his sister Joan Murphy (Mark). He was preceded in death by his parents, Clyde and Florence White and his sisters Susan Hummel and Marylin Weller.

Beyond the facts of Randy’s life, he will be remembered for being so intellectual, and his ability to recall and tell so many stories and facts. The love, laughter, and memories he gave us will be in our hearts forever.

A celebration of life will be held on September 4th at 10:30 at the Salina Country Club. Visitation will be held on September 3rd from 5-8 at Ryan Mortuary.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Randy White memorial fund, if desired.

Randy’s life was a gift to all who knew him, and he will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered.
