Leslie "Les" W. Gallion

There is a barstool under a Kansas City Chiefs sign that will feel very empty from now on.
Leslie “Les” Warren Gallion passed at home on July 16, 2024. He was born on August 10, 1938, in Chanute, Kansas, to Leslie F. and Lillian Gallion.
Les was an MP in the Wyoming Air Guard and a former Homicide Detective for the Cheyenne Police Department.
He also owned and operated the Cheyenne staple called The Green Door for nearly 50 years. This was a “must-see” for bachelor parties, after parties, and lost tourists. It was also a community hub, where many of Les’ longtime friends could be found talking about the world and watching the TV show Cash Cab.
Friends and family would say, “You always knew right where you stood with Les.”
Les was a champion trap shooter for the Cheyenne Trap Club and an avid hunter and fisherman. He served as a Mounted Marshall for Cheyenne Frontier Days parades. He was a member of Cheyenne Moose Lodge, and a mounted volunteer for Wyoming Search and Rescue.
Les is survived by two sisters, Pat (Buford) Hazen of Chanute, and Marsha (Jim) Dibble of Cheyenne; two daughters, Wendy Stone and Leslee Gallion; son, Scott Gallion; grandchildren, Dillon, Tyler, and Alaina Stone, Sarah and Lindsey Hanlon; two great-grandchildren, Luka and Stefania Stone; and his late wife Anita Oisten Gallion’s grandchildren, Nathan Rodriguez and Priscilla Candelaria.
Les was preceded in death by his parents, wife Anita and her grandson, Stevie, and a son, Martin Keith Gallion.
He hated a fuss, so there are no official services, but a casual celebration of life will be announced at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to the Wyoming Wildlife Federation.
There will be a celebration of life at Little Bear Inn, Thursday, August 1, 2024 at 2:00 p.m.
Les and the Door will be truly missed and never forgotten.
