August 3, 1945 - May 24, 2025William Kimbrough "Kim" Love of Sheridan, Wyoming passed away Saturday, May 24, 2025, at Sheridan Memorial Hospital leaving behind a legacy as big as the Wyoming sky and a heart even bigger. Born in St. Louis, MO August 3, 1945, to Christine Gempp Love and Edward Kimbrough "Bud" Love, he was raised in St. Louis and found success at Kimball Union Academy in Meriden, NH where he graduated high school. From an early age, Kim's intellect, humor and sharp wit stood out. These qualities would shape the incredible man he became, a loving husband, devoted father, loyal friend, visionary businessman, and tireless humanitarian. He had the charm that could convince you to donate to a fundraiser you didn't even know you were part of---and then he would match your donation. The Love family spent their summers in the cool serenity of Paradise Ranch near Buffalo, WY where the seeds of their Wyoming roots were planted. It was Kim's father, Bud, who purchased the UM ranch, creating a bridge between the family's bustling St. Louis life and the wide-open spaces of the west. Those summers forged in Kim a love for Wyoming's people and land that would stay with him forever. Kim earned a B.S. in economics from the University of Virginia, interrupting his studies to serve in the U.S. Army, an experience he credited with teaching him the skills needed to manage his life-long struggle with ADD. In 1974, Kim co-purchased KROE radio in Sheridan and over a 40+ year broadcasting career transformed it into Sheridan Media, a multi-platform network known for strong journalism and deep community involvement. Upon retiring on his 72nd birthday, he transferred ownership to the people that helped him build Sheridan Media, the employees. Kim's civic contributions were vast. He committed his time, talent, and treasure to serve on many local boards and committees, believing that philanthropy is a verb, requiring action. He was never shy about expressing his opinion and sharing his knowledge with the many local institutions to which he contributed. In 2010, in an effort to help revitalize downtown Sheridan, he opened Frackleton's restaurant and relished founding and participating in Dining for a Cause. Kim lived with enthusiasm and a deep sense of responsibility for his community. He scuba-dived, climbed Kilimanjaro, bungy-jumped in NZ, traveled the world, always returning to Wyoming where he found great joy in riding his horse in the Big Horn Mountains, walking his dog on the streets of Sheridan, or his pet camel in the rodeo parade, and especially spending time with family and friends. Kim Love's legacy will remain in Sheridan in the many lives and institutions he touched. Kim was preceded in death by his son Alex and sister Christy. He is survived by his wife, Mary Kay, daughter Betsy of Austin, TX, and brother Dr. Charles Love (Linda) of College Station, TX. Kim's Memorial Service will be held at 1:00 p.m., Friday, May 30, 2025, at St. Peter's Episcopal Church. A reception will follow at Frackleton's Restaurant from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. Kim's service will be lived streamed.

August 9, 1939 - May 21, 2025We are heartbroken, for our beloved brother has left this world. Yet, even in our sorrow, we must lift our voices in joy—for Jim is now with the Lord he served so faithfully. Jim was born in Sheridan, Wyoming, to Alice (James) and Bernard Marron. He was the eldest of the Marron siblings—a quiet soul, often unnoticed, yet always ready to lend a helping hand. Jim was the best big brother one could hope for, a role that, at times, came with its challenges. In his younger years, he joined friends in collecting discarded hides, glass bottles, and other odds and ends to earn a few extra coins—often enough to buy another Johnny Cash record. Eventually, he bought a guitar and would play along with Johnny's music, plunking out the notes with joy and determination. Jim was a dedicated and dependable worker throughout his life. His varied roles included gas station attendant, mail carrier, fire lookout on Cloud Peak, "gandy dancer" for the CB&Q Railroad, and forester. He was raised in Sheridan, attended Holy Name School, and graduated from Sheridan High School with the class of 1957. Though he had planned to join the Navy, eye problems prevented him from doing so. Unfazed, Jim enrolled at Sheridan Community College and later transferred to the University of Idaho, where he earned a degree in Animal Forestry. He went on to serve as a Forest Ranger in Northern California for nearly 20 years. Then came a higher calling. Jim felt drawn to monastic life, and there was never any doubt about where he would go. He joined the Benedictine community at Our Lady of Guadalupe Abbey in Pecos, New Mexico—his home for the next 43 years. Jim loved the outdoors, a passion rooted in childhood family trips "on top"—up into the Bighorn Mountains. Dad would pitch a tent and fish the streams, Mom would sketch, and the Marron kids would run wild with freedom and wonder. As an adult, Jim often hiked and camped, sometimes waking to snow on his sleeping bag. He crossed the mountains behind the Abbey more than once and even took on the famed trail into the Grand Canyon. Jim faced struggles, as we all do, but he placed them in God's hands. Near the Abbey stands a twisted, weather-worn tree growing defiantly through solid rock—a tree Jim referred to often, and lovingly, as "my tree." Its resilience spoke to him deeply. He saw in it a mirror of his own journey: marked by hardship, shaped by faith, and rooted in something eternal. That tree became a symbol of his life—bent, weathered, but never broken. His connection to it was quiet but profound, much like Jim himself. Words cannot truly capture the quiet, enduring impact he made on the world. We are deeply blessed to have known him. Jim is preceded in death by his parents, Alice and Bernard Marron; sister Marjorie Arbogast; brothers John and Bob Marron; and nephews Craig Arbogast and Jeffrey Harris. He is survived by his brother Richard Marron of Laramie; sister Jean and husband Lynn Harris of Grain Valley, Missouri; nieces Carol Davis, Jean Arbogast, Kim Ellis and Amy Garner; and a multitude of great and great-great nieces and nephews. In lieu of flowers, please donate to the charity of your choice. A funeral will be held May 30th at the Abbey 16 Guadalupe Lane, Pecos NM .

Following his mission, he was drafted into the U.S. Army, serving his enlistment in Germany. Upon his return, Kay embraced the most meaningful chapters of his life—raising a family, practicing his faith, nurturing lifelong friendships, and pursuing his many hobbies. Kay found joy in nearly every aspect of life, including a career delivering fuel to farms, ranches, and homes, but nothing brought him greater happiness than time spent with his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. His love for family was unwavering, and he was always a source of warmth, encouragement, and fun adventures. Kay is survived by his loving wife of 48 years, Cle Rae; his brother, Curtis; his children, Leanne, Valerie, Cameron, and Sonda; and his cherished grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
