Obituary

Randy Wilder Field, 68, of Ocala, Florida, passed away peacefully on May 3, 2026, surrounded by his four children, his best friend and brother, and his beloved sister-in-law. Randy, lovingly known by many as "Ringo" and "Burger" was born on July 20, 1957, in Exeter, New Hampshire, to Kenneth A. and Nancy (Richards) Field. 

He grew up in the big yellow house on 7 Highland Street in Newton, NH. He admired his three older brothers and the Field boys shared an unbreakable bond. Randy, the youngest of the four, possessed a strong work ethic from an early age and he went to work at Custeau's Market in high school ... where a love story began. In 1974, Randy met Tamara Martin. He was a bag boy, she was a cashier, they fell in love, and the rest was history. Four years later they married and raised four beautiful children in their close-knit family. Following his graduation from Sanborn Regional High School in 1976, Randy began a long and dedicated career with Lucent Technologies, where he worked for over 30 years before retiring at the age of 50. 

Retirement marked the beginning of a new adventure for Randy. A lifelong motorcycle enthusiast, he often joked that New Hampshire’s cold, frigid winters in the land of LIVE FREE OR DIE was no place for a man who loved riding as much as he did. Seeking sunshine and open roads, he moved next door to one of his beloved brothers in Ocala, Florida, where he embraced the warmth, freedom, and slower pace of life. Though he called Florida home for sixteen years, Randy’s heart and loyalty never left New England. He was a devout fan of the New England Patriots and the Boston Bruins, proudly cheering on his teams through every season.

 Even after relocating to the Sunshine State, Randy returned to New Hampshire every summer to spend precious time with his children, grandchildren, and lifelong friends. Some of Randy’s happiest moments were spent laughing and making memories with his friends — especially his gaming buddies at Northern Conspiracy and during the revered “Guy Day” gatherings every Thursday. Those friendships meant the world to him and brought him endless bliss throughout the years. 

Randy was a man who truly appreciated life’s simple pleasures. He was known for bringing people together. His big heart and beautiful smile quickly disarmed strangers and consistently comforted all who knew and loved him. Randy found peace and freedom in his very own form of “wind therapy” on his Harley - affectionately known as Ruby Red. 

He also enjoyed exploring flea markets in search of hidden treasures where the conversations and connections he made along the way were often just as valuable as a worthy find on any given day.

Above all, Randy loved his family deeply. His children were his pride and joy and his love for them had no bounds. Over the years, his love grew exponentially for his children and his grandchildren. He treasured the special moments he shared with each of his grandkids — motorcycle rides and board games with Connor, shopping adventures with Cohen, football games and reading books with Dylan, horseback riding and treasure adventures with Mia, and every precious moment spent with Myles. Those memories were the story of a life well lived by a grandfather and father who was unconditionally loved by his family. Randy will be remembered for his sense of humor, his generous heart, his passion for motorcycles, and his competitive spirit in board games. He will also be remembered for the way he made people feel ... welcomed, valued, and loved. 

Randy leaves behind his brothers: Gary K. Field (Maria) of Middleton, NJ, David M. Field (Cathy) of St. Petersburg, FL, and Robert A. Field (Trish) of Ocala, FL; his children: Michael K. Field (Torie) of Danville, NH, Melissa A. McIntyre (David) of Sandown, NH, Kenneth D. Field (Heather) of Danville, NH, and Katrina L. Field (Bob Hanscomb) of East Kingston, NH; his ex-wife Tamara Martin Field of Danville, NH; his cherished grandchildren: Connor Field-Sargent, Cohen McIntyre, Dylan Holmes, Mia Field, and Myles Field; several beloved nieces (Gara Field, Shannon Field Brennan, Laurie Field Newton, and Emily Field) and nephews (Jason Field and John David Field); and his girlfriend, Tricia Meyers. Though our hearts are broken, we find comfort knowing Randy is now riding free, at peace, and forever with the wind at his back. The author of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, Robert M. Pirsig wrote, “The real cycle you're working on is a cycle called yourself.” Randy Wilder Field worked on himself through the wind therapy that Ruby Red afforded him for so many years. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.

Service details will be shared by the family at a later time.
