Thomas M. Landen
June 23, 1965 — July 1, 2024
Thomas M. Landen died July 1, in Casper, Wyo., after a courageous four-month battle with brain cancer.
Tom was born June 23, 1965, in Jackson, Wyo., to Orville and Donna Landen. He grew up in Pinedale and attended school there. After graduating from Pinedale High School, Tom earned his degree from Casper College and attended St. Edwards University in Austin, Texas, where he majored in technical theatre, lighting and design. After college, Tom returned to Wyoming, where he spent most of his professional life.
Tom loved all that Wyoming offered. He was an accomplished alpine skier and skied mountains from British Columbia and California to Wyoming and Montana. He always talked about his lake fishing times with his friends Jimmy and Brett. He enjoyed fly fishing, hiking and snowmobiling. Quite the artist, Tom threw beautiful clay pots and vases.
Everyone knew Tom and he never met a stranger. He was caring and compassionate and a heckuva storyteller. He loved rescue dogs and was always willing to help those in need.
At the time of his death, Tom lived in Rock Springs and worked for WinSupply. He was an outstanding salesperson and a friend to many in the electrical supply and construction community. His 25-plus years with the Win companies included time as an owner-manager in Las Cruces, New Mexico.
He is survived by his sister Mary Keith (Portales, New Mexico) and his brother and sister-in-law Bill and Robyn Landen (Casper); his nephews Michael Keith (Lacey) of Portales; Nick Landen (Tara) of Castle Rock, Colo.; Zack Landen (Alex) of Big Sky, Mont.; and his niece Hailey Bloom (Jesse) of Casper; his great-nieces Zoe Winfield, Lyla Keith, Lillian Landen and Evelyn Landen; and great-nephew Crue Bloom.
A celebration of life will be held Labor Day weekend in Dubois.
Donations may be made in Tom’s memory to Central Wyoming Hospice and Transitions in Casper.
