John "Jack" Allan Selby

John A. (Jack) Selby, 75, of Cheyenne, passed away at Cheyenne Regional Medical Center on December 30, surrounded by family. He was born on August 13, 1948, in Thermopolis, WY to Keith Elmer and Delores (Allard) Selby.
Jack was a Bell System employee for nearly 40 years, retiring as a Qwest Manager in 2010. At the time of his death, he was employed at Laramie County Shooting Sports and was an NRA Certified Range Safety Officer. Jack was a long-time Cheyenne Frontier Days volunteer, serving as Parades Assistant, coordinator of CFD Mounted Marshals and a member of Heels. He served as a member of Wyoming Mounted Search and Rescue for many years. Jack was an expert horseman and owned many quarterhorses over the years. He was especially proud of his champion quarterhorse "Little Doc."
Jack is survived by Becky, his wife of 44 years, daughter Kylee and son-in-law Jesse Brandt of Tigard, OR; grandsons Lance Morgan and Vincent Lee, and great-grandson Damian of Magnolia, MS. He was preceded in death by his parents, grandparents, son John Morgan and sisters Susan Brooksmith, Joan Selby, and Mary Selby.
Jack loved Wyoming, the Old West and rodeo. He was happiest when spending time with his family or in the saddle riding Doc or Pal. He was a quiet man of great faith who lived his life helping others. If you were Jack's friend, you were a friend for life.
In the early seventies, Jack worked on the pioneering crew building the Alaskan pipeline. He dreamed of revisiting as a tourist, but sadly, he was unable to fulfill this dream.
