Larry Dean Broers

Larry Dean Broers, 79, of Rozet, passed away Wednesday, Sept. 25, 2024, at Campbell County Health. Visitation begins at 1 p.m. Monday, Sept.30 at Gillette Memorial Chapel, 210 W. 5th St. in Gillette. Burial and graveside service will follow at the Gillette Cemetery. Larry was born Nov. 18, 1944 to Evelyn McClun and Fred Broers in Scottsbluff, Nebraska. He grew up mostly in the Torrington area. He attended Torrington High school and graduated in 1963. After graduation he went to the national guard for several years and then came home to be a farmer. In later years, he became a welder at the coal mines where he eventually retired to Rozet. He married Barbara Booth in 1968 and had two children, Laura and John. They divorced and later in life, through his work, he met his love Alexienne “Lexie” and her two daughters, Vieka and Krista. He and Lexie were married in 1991 in Gillette. Larry’s greatest accomplishment was his family. He was always wanting to help and make sure his loved ones were taken care of. He would go out of his way for others and any stranger that met him, would quickly love his kind heart. Larry touched so many lives and was loved by all who met him. His compassion to help others, big heart, big smile, and sense of humor, will be greatly missed. Larry enjoyed working in his shop, especially welding and carpentry. He spent a lot of time creating and tinkering with things to learn how they work. He loved watching wild animals and spending time with his dogs and family at home. Larry is survived by his children, Laura Broers, John and Michelle Broers, Vieka and Tom Hudson, and Krista and Mark Wigner: grandchildren, Brytney, Kasey, Elly, Maddi, Markus, Tori, Kati; siblings, Karen McCabe, Janet Broers, and stepsisters Barbara and Joe Peterson, Betty Able, Sandy and Bill Lummus, Janice and Art Shields; and many beloved nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his wife, Lexie; parents, Evelyn and Louis Zavorka and Fred Broers; stepsister Linda and Ralph VanWinkle; and both maternal and paternal grandparents. Memorials and condolences may be sent in care of Gillette Memorial Chapel 210 West 5th Street, Gillette, WY 82716.
