Obituary - RANDY VAL WILDHABER April 25, 1953 –October 20, 2025

Randy Val Wildhaber, 72, of Fallon, Nevada, passed away surrounded by family on October 20, 2025. Born on April 25, 1953, in Sacramento, California, Randy lived a full and spirited life defined by hard work, adventure, and deep love for his family.

Randy’s career was as diverse as his talents, from trucking and construction to mechanics and business ownership. He founded and ran his own construction company and was known for being able to fix or build just about anything. His hands were rarely still, and his determination and craftsmanship left a lasting mark on every project he touched.

Outside of work, Randy found joy in the great outdoors. He was an avid hunter, especially proud of his elk hunting trips in the mountains of Colorado. Those who knew him best remember his stories, his grit, and his mischievous smile. In his younger years, he had a bit of a wild streak, one that earned him plenty of tales and tough-guy respect, but when he met his beloved wife, Salli, everything changed. She softened his edges, and together they built a beautiful life and raised two daughters who adored him.

Randy was preceded in death by his wife, Salli Wildhaber, his parents, Rose Miller and Earl Wildhaber, his brother Allan Wildhaber, and his nephew Joey Wildhaber. He is survived by his daughters, Melissa Wildhaber, son-in-law, Brandon Naffziger, Tabitha Larsson, son-in-law, Tanner Larsson, seven grandchildren, two great-grandchildren, his brother Duke Wildhaber, sister Susan Wildhaber Carlile, and a large extended family of nieces, nephews, and cousins who loved him dearly.

Randy will be remembered for his humor, his loyalty, his quiet strength, and the countless ways he showed up for those he loved. He was the kind of man who could fix your car, make you laugh, and tell you a story you’d never forget. His family takes comfort in knowing he’s reunited with Salli, the love of his life.

In keeping with Randy’s wishes, there will be no funeral or celebration of life. His memory will live on through the stories shared and the lives he touched.

Comment publication date: 8/17/26, 7:40 PM Comment source: Jorge Jose Guerrero Comment author: Patti Cole Comment text: Marie will be forever treasured in memories. The memories remain of a soft-spoken, seemingly unassuming but determined individual who absolutely knew what path she wanted to take in life, and followed it. Her instinctive reactions, which highlighted her steadfast level of love and caring for her family, friends and all living things found in nature, hold lessons for us all. An unexpected splash of her self-deprecating humor, coupled with uncanny timing, will always bring a smile. For me, Marie lives on in the sighting of a Black-crowned night heron in the tules, the bloom of a beautiful spring flower and, most poetically, in the struggle of wildlife photographers handling their very large camera lenses.

Her dad Ted was my dad's brother. I never knew Ted or Betty, but I wish I did. I am 73 and live in IL. I am building my family tree and see where Betty has fit in. Blessings to you Curt and family.
