Leslie D. Lorentz, Ii

Leslie D. Lorentz II, 61, of Cheyenne died December 12, 2023 at Cheyenne Regional Medical
Center.

Les was born on May 15, 1962 in Montgomery, Alabama. Growing up, Les lived in several
states including Hawaii, Texas, Ohio, Idaho, and finally settling here in Cheyenne. He graduated
from East High School in 1980, and shortly thereafter, began a 30+ year career at APW Wyott.

When the company moved out of Cheyenne, Les waited patiently for Magpul Industries to open
in Cheyenne. He began working for them in January 2015, and worked there until his death.
Les married Sandy, his wife of 31 years in November 1992, and they had a son, Philip, who was
born on July 4, 2001.

From the time Philip was born, Les enjoyed taking him to see the Thunderbirds during Cheyenne Frontier Days. In 22 years, there were only three years they didn’t go together to see them, each time because the Thunderbirds didn’t come to Cheyenne.

Les also enjoyed music, both in the form of playing the piano and listening to it. In his younger
years, he even composed a few songs on piano and guitar. His taste in music varied widely,
ranging from country to classical to hard rock. He imparted his love of music to Philip.

Les is survived by Sandy and Philip, his father Leslie Lorentz, brothers Joe and Don, and
nephews Steven Keslar and Evan Lorentz. He was preceded in death by his mother, Sarah
Lorentz. As per Les’ wishes, there will not be a funeral. A celebration of life may be held at a
later date.
