Randolph Stewart Licht, age 57, passed away suddenly on Sunday, May 15th, 2016 while playing rugby, a game he loved. He was a current resident of Monument, CO and a former resident of Colorado Springs. Randy was born on August 24th, 1958 to Frederic John Licht Sr. and Lilla (McKnight) Licht in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania. He grew up in upstate New York, graduating from Trumansburg Central High School in 1976 and Amherst College, MA in 1980, with a degree in Physics.

After college he moved to San Jose, CA to work and play semi-professional rugby with the San Jose Seahawks. Randy was employed in the defense industry for the majority of his career and received numerous recognitions and awards for his work. He later moved to Colorado Springs, where he met and married his wife, Cathy Crompton in 1996. His first love was the sport of rugby, which he played throughout his life and was also a coach and referee. Randy was a devoted Republican who volunteered tirelessly for the El Paso County Republican Party, and was honored to be elected as an alternate delegate to the upcoming Republican Convention in Cleveland. A devout Roman Catholic, he was deeply involved in his church community and was a member of the Crucillo Movement.
