Bryan Ray Lackey

Bryan Ray Lackey passed away peacefully on September 21, 2026, after a battle with illness. He was born December 20, 1959, to Bob and Ruby Lackey of Thermopolis, Wyo.

Bryan graduated from Thermopolis High School in 1978. He started working in the oil filed right after graduation. He dedicated much of his career to Wyoming's oil fields, contributing his skills and expertise until his retirement.

Bryan enjoyed fishing and boating on Boysen Reservoir. His greatest passion, though, was the freedom he found riding his Harley-Davidson on the open road.

Bryan is survived by his brothers, Danny, of Thermopolis and Marty (Heather) of Gillette; and sister, Brenda (Mike) Burgess of Casper. He leaves behind life partner, Judy Randall; bonus children, John (Neddi) Bolte, Zach (Jamie) Bolte and Sarah Bolte. Bryan enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren, nephews, and nieces and will be remembered for his stories, humor and laughter.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Robert Darrel Lackey and Ruby Eunice Lackey (Hair); sisters, Sherry Tervo and Kerry (Prissy) DePirro; brothers, Teddy Lackey and Terry (Buster) Lackey; and sister-in-law, Deb Lackey.

Bryan's life was testament to the joy of living fully, loving deeply and laughing heartily.

Bryan Lackey's celebration of life will be held on October 17, 2026, at 2 p.m. at Shorty's in Thermopolis, Wyo.
