Warren Edward Schroefel
October 19, 1940 — December 26, 2019
Warren Edward Schroefel passed peacefully on Thursday, December 26, 2019. Warren was a family man who devoted his life to his wife Margie and four children Sterling, Sheryl, Shon, Scott and three special "daughters" Connie, Jennifer and Stephanie. His favorite hobby was watching his children play sports.
He was born on October 19, 1940 to Warren H. Schroefel and Martha (Jordan) Schroefel in Lusk, WY. He graduated in 1959 from Niobrara County High School where he was a star athlete. Immediately after graduation, he enlisted in the United States Marine Corp with two other friends. He was stationed at Camp Hauge and Camp Courtney in Okinawa for 3 years, with other stops in San Diego, CA, Camp Pendleton, CA, Hawaii, Midway, Guam and Subic Bay Philippines. He was very proud to have played football and basketball for the Marines in Okinawa. Warren was Honorably Discharged as an E5 in 1963. He then enrolled at the University of Wyoming where he played football for one year and met the love of his life.
Warren and Margie were married September 26, 1964 in Laramie, WY, and in 1965 moved to Denver, CO. Warren and Margie began their married life and business life as part owners of Conoco service stations. In 1970, the family moved to Walden, CO where they owned a Conoco Service Station, Fina Service Station and a Tow Truck business. While in Walden, he met some wonderful friends where he became a Town Team Basketball player and learned to become a team roper (heeler), with his good friend O.C. Houston. In 1975, Warren and Margie moved to Casper, WY where they ultimately raised their children. The two of them moved to Buffalo, WY for 10 years and then returned to Casper for his final years. Warren was a great entrepreneur having businesses including pawnshops, bars, restaurants, and service stations. He was also the manager for Petro-Chem, an oilfield business, in Casper for many years. When Warren began employment at Petro-Chem American Mud there was one warehouse locally and sales of $1 million. When he left Petro-Chem American Mud there were a total of 20 warehouses around the United States and sales of $84 million. He also enjoyed serving on the local Lodging Tax Board of Directors in Casper.
Warren was an avid poker player coming in 4th place at the Wyoming Poker Tournament in Riverton, WY in 2018, one of his biggest achievements. Another of Warren's greatest achievements occurred while playing golf, one of his favorite hobbies, at Paradise Valley Golf Club. While playing in a tournament, Warren hit a hole in one.
He was preceded in death by his father Warren, mother Martha, one sister Geraldine and one grandson, Steven Warren Schroefel.
He is survived by his loving wife Margie (Eurioste) Schroefel, his son Sterling (Connie) Schroefel of Worland, daughter Sheryl Schroefel of Casper, son Shon (Jennifer) Schroefel of Buffalo, son Scott Schroefel of Casper and Stephanie of Casper. His sister Gloria Hauptman of Georgia. His surviving grandchildren are Shane Schroefel of Casper, Sarah Schroefel of Worland, Sabrina Schroefel of Worland, Samantha (John) Christensen of Buffalo, Trey Schroefel of Buffalo, Cooper Schroefel of Buffalo, Maurica (Danny) Himes of Casper, Bethany Medders of Casper and Moriah Miller of Casper. He is also survived by four great-grandchildren, Madison Schroefel of Casper, Jaxtyn and Kamden Hall of Worland and Stratton James Christensen of Buffalo. He is also survived by numerous aunts, uncles, brother-in-law, Roy(Betty) Eurioste of Aurora, Co. and sister-in-law, Kathy(Gary) Atkinson of Castle Rock, Co., nieces, nephews and cousins. He will be sorely missed by his family and the many, many friends he made throughout his life.
