Laramie obituary remembers Wesley Wayne McMullen, devoted husband and father

Wesley Wayne McMullen’s death at 50 leaves behind a wife, two daughters, and a wide circle of family and friends in Laramie. He died on May 15, and the obituary remembers him first as a devoted husband, father, brother, and friend.

McMullen lived in Laramie and was survived by his wife, Shanna McMullen, and his daughters, Dylan and Tatum. The obituary makes clear that his family was at the center of his life, a detail that gives Albany County readers a direct sense of the personal loss now felt at home and among those closest to him.

Born on July 16, 1975, in Sidney, Nebraska, McMullen’s life story was rooted outside Albany County before becoming part of the Laramie community. His obituary was published on May 20 by Montgomery-Stryker Funeral Home and later posted on Legacy.com, placing his death in the public record just days after he died.

A service was scheduled for May 23 at 1:00 p.m. at the Laramie Railroad Depot, giving neighbors, relatives, and friends a specific place and time to gather in his memory. For a county like Albany, where personal ties often overlap through work, school, recreation, and extended family, even a brief obituary can carry real weight by naming the relationships that defined a life and the people left to carry it forward.

McMullen’s notice is concise, but it does what a local obituary is meant to do: it marks a death, identifies the survivors, and gives the community a way to remember a man whose life was defined by close family bonds and everyday connections in Laramie.
