Randy Kniepkamp

Randy Kniepkamp


Randy Richard Kniepkamp, 63, of Lindsay died Friday, Jan. 21, 2022, at the Glendive Medical Center in Glendive. He was born July 29, 1958, in Circle to Stanley and Arlene Kniepkamp. He was the third of four children and a character from the start. He grew up on the family farm in Lindsay (which has been in the family for 100+ years) and his love for farming and ranching blossomed at a young age. He met Ann and convinced her to make a life on his little slice of heaven, the family farm. Together, they had two daughters, Erin, and Ellie. He loved watching his wife coach Circle Wildcat volleyball and his favorite athletes were his daughters. After his daughters graduated, the new passion he found was photography. He loved getting press passes and doing sports photography and also loved taking nature pictures. He had a larger-than-life personality and could make anyone laugh. He was the best storyteller, knew every dirty joke and had no shame doing anything to get a laugh out of people. He was 6’6”, so he always stood out in a crowd and didn’t mind being the center of attention. He made friends everywhere he went and was in a bowling league for years traveling the state. He is survived by his wife, Ann; daughters, Erin of Billings and Ellie of Circle; sister, Deb Mooer; and brothers, Rick Kniepkamp and Mike Kniepkamp. Per his wishes, there will be no immediate funeral and a celebration of life will be held at a later date.
