Danny Lee Mangus

Danny Lee Mangus, born on April 29, 1935, passed away peacefully at his home in Glenrock, Wyoming, on January 14, 2025. The home he built in 1977, still stands as a testament to the life he shared with his beloved wife, Sharon. Together, they celebrated 68 years of marriage after exchanging vows on January 17, 1956.

Danny was the son of Iris W. Mangus and Clifford A. Mangus and spent his early years in Lusk, Wyoming, where he attended High School. His professional journey began in Linch, Wyoming, working for Conoco before he relocated to Glenrock, Wyoming. There, he dedicated himself to the South Glenrock Field until his retirement in 1991.

Danny was a man of many passions. He had a profound love for God, Country and Horse racing and once cared for as many as 16 horses at a time. Beyond his personal interests, he gave generously of his time to the youth of Glenrock by coaching girls' softball, Little League baseball, youth basketball, and football. His dedication to mentoring young athletes left an enduring impact on the community.

 Above all else, Danny cherished his role as a husband, father, and grandfather. He found immense joy in supporting his family’s endeavors and took pride in traveling alongside them as they pursued their dreams.

 Danny Lee Mangus leaves behind a legacy of devotion—to his family, his community, and the passions that enriched his life. May his memory bring comfort to all who knew him.
