Obituary
True Story. Randall Jerome Kreiter, 59, bit the big one on October 18, 2015 in Billings, Montana. He was born on October 29, 1955 in Billings, the son of Harold and Esther (Kahler) Kreiter. He grew up in Billings and attended St. Pius X school and Billings Central, graduating in 1973. Randy loved anything with a motor. He spent his entire life at a high rate of speed, always full-throttle the entire way. Randy was a competitive man. He would win the majority of anything that was placed in front of him whether it be a motorcycle race, a board game, or who could be the loudest , funniest guy in the room. He was a sport enthusiast and enjoyed playing basketball and softball. He also watched any sort of motorized race he could get his eyes on. Randy was one of the hardest workers anyone knew. He started Kreiter Construction in 1992 and he would never turn down a horse-trade for labor as long as it was a “screamin' deal”. Randy was a generous, genuine and caring man with a sense of humor to make you laugh even at the most inappropriate times. Randy is survived by his sons Zak Kreiter, Nathan Kreiter, Riley (Whitnee) Hughes, Tyson Kreiter; sisters Cheryl McLaughlin and her son Tom Dempsey, Sandi Erickson and her children Debby and Matt; brother David (Sandy) their daughter Sarah and her children Shawn, Xandria & Jaxon, son Andrew (Kelli), brother Kent (Lisa) and their family Katie, Kimberlee, Connie, Carter & Allison; numerous extended family. He was preceded in death by his parents and nephew Steve McLaughlin. A Celebration of Randy's life will be 1:00 p.m. Friday, October 23, at the Elks Lodge 934 Lewis Ave. Inurnment of ashes will be in Holy Cross Cemetery. “Just sayin'”

"Ah Patricio, don't even bother with the rear brake, all that dang thing does is slow you down ... it's all on the front brake coming into the corners, and then get right back on the gas ... and a lot of it ... then simply repeat as necessary" — Randy Kreiter said to Pat Whitmer While riding at the Billings Motorcycle Club Motocross Track

Randy Loved motorcycles any way he could get them, ride them and race them. Always to the edge and beyond.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Randy's family. I always enjoyed watching Randy race motocross when my brother (Brett Bailey) raced, a they shared the love of motorcycles. His laugh will be greatly missed. Kim and Billy Craig.

A bright, shining light went out with Randy on Sunday. He was so funny, always ready with a warm smile and a big laugh. We all loved him so! I can't believe he's gone. He will sure be missed around here. One of my most favorite memories of Randy is him dancing the most absurd ridiculous dance to Abba in Mantown. Those of us who witnessed that will never forget it! OMG! It's hard to find a nicer, more generous, more wonderful person than Randy. I am so thankful he was my friend. I miss you, buddy!

Well Randy, I guess you got your infamous round 'em up and head 'em out call to Heaven. I am sure you entered dancing with your happy feet in your blue suede shoes. You now have a new audience for all those crazy jokes of yours. While my time with you was brief, I enjoyed and will cherish every moment. So much joy and laughter. You will be in my heart forever! Until the other side my friend...love and miss you so very much.

My Mother, Lucille, and I attended a baby shower given for your Mom when you were born. I really only knew you as a baby. In fact, I even remember David as a toddler. However, through the years, I was in touch with your Mom, and she would tell stories about your love of motorcycles, and about the trips to the ER to fix whatever you had injured from riding those motorcycles. She understood that a motorcycle was your oxygen, even though she worried about you every time you rode. It feels like you've left the party way too early, Randy. It gives me a small measure of peace that you are with your parents now, even if they are explaining why that last ride might have been a bad choice. By all accounts, you led a full life, giving generously, working hard, and playing equally hard. My heart goes out to Cheryl, Sandi, David, and Kent. You will be missed, Cousin.
