Wesley Edward Grussendorf

Wesley Edward Grussendorf Jr. completed his baptismal journey on Feb 12, 2025, in Casper, Wyoming. “Junior” was born on January 8th, 1931, to Wesley E Grussendorf and Annette Nelson in Redwood Falls, Minnesota. Growing up in rural Minnesota, he enjoyed fishing and hunting and especially enjoyed his favorite dog and pony. After beginning his engineering career with the Minnesota Highway Department, Wesley served in the Korean Conflict as an artillery surveyor. Upon honorable discharge, Wesley went back to school to earn his bachelor’s degree in civil engineering. Wesley’s career included working for Texaco, which brought him and his family to Wyoming. He then served as the maintenance manager for the Natrona County School district until his retirement.

Wesley married Elaine, his sweetheart in 1955, and they celebrated 69 years together until his death. Wesley was an avid sports fan and thoroughly enjoyed any and all sports and community events he could take in. In 2017, Wesley was recognized as the Wyoming high school football super fan of the year. Wesley continued to enjoy hunting and fishing, even hitting the elk hunting mountains at the age of 80! We didn’t see anything, but he did it!

Wesley is survived by his loving wife Elaine and sons Jon (Kristi) Grussendorf, Steven (Robin) Grussendorf, Brian (Amy) Grussendorf as well as 8 grandchildren, 11 great grandchildren and his sister, Madelle. He was preceded in death by his parents and an infant son, Joel.
