Donald Horsley

Donald (Donnie) E. Horsley, 67, of Sheridan, Wyoming passed away on Monday, March 28, 2022, at Sheridan Memorial Hospital with his loving family at his side.  Donnie was the first-born son of Donald and Dorothy Horsley of Sheridan followed by three brothers and one sister.  He attended Woodland Park School and graduated from Sheridan High School. 

While working at the Wyo Theatre he met Louise and they married on July 4, 1973.  They were married for 48 years.  During that time, they were blessed with three boys, Jason, Joshua, and Jory.  He was a devoted husband and father working on the railroad for 38 years and retiring in 2014.  When he wasn’t working, he was looking through his collection of cookbooks for a recipe to try out.  He enjoyed the outdoors, gardening, hiking, and camping with family and friends.

He was preceded in death by his oldest son, Jason, his parents, Don and Dorothy Horsley, his grandparents Sherman and Jeanette, grandma, Ella MacVay, nephew, Michael, and brother-in-law, Mike Reardon.
