Dennis Eugene Lauck was born in Wheatland on Tuesday, July 24, 1956 to Marvin Eugene and Geraldine (Havely) Lauck. He joined sister Debby and their sister Peggy arrived in 1959. The Lauck family lived a few miles west of town where they farmed and fed cattle. Dennis graduated from Wheatland High School in 1974 and continued on the family farm following in his grandpa, Louis Lauck’s and father, Marvin’s footsteps.

Dennis married Kim Manning in 1976. The couple welcomed four children; Sunni, Tyler, Kristny, and Cooper whom they found life’s greatest blessings. Dennis continued to farm and feed cattle as well as work for the Laramie River Power Station from 1984 to 2011. Dennis also served as a board member for the Wheatland Irrigation District.

He married Kim (Walker) Johnson in 2012 and welcomed her family as his own.

Dennis will be remembered as having a servant’s heart, always thinking of others before himself. He will be remembered by his children as a fun, loving father who taught them the value of hard work and family. His grandchildren will remember his lighthearted teasing and that he always had a stash of Oreo cookies.

Dennis is survived by his wife, Kim; children, Sunni (Jake) Linse of Gillette, Wyoming, Tyler (Liz) Lauck of Wheatland, Kristny (Jose) Martinez of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and Cooper Lauck of Cheyenne, Wyoming; stepchildren, Nichole Johnson, Jeremy (Cat) Porter, Nick Johnson, and Patricia Johnson, all of Wheatland; six grandchildren; eight step grandchildren; and three great-step grandchildren; sisters, Debby (Ronnie) Becker and Peggy Bise, both of Wheatland; and many beloved nieces and nephews.
