Mike Enzi

Former US Senator Mike Enzi of Wyoming died Monday, July 26th, following a bike accident several days earlier that left him seriously injured. He was 77.

On Friday evening, July 23rd, Enzi was riding a bike near his home in Gillette, Wyoming, when something went awry and he had an accident in which he was badly injured. He was Life Flighted from Gillette to UCHealth Medical Center of the Rockies in Loveland, Colorado. The family reported he passed away peacefully Monday surrounded by his family.

A Fox News report indicates Enzi fell for some reason and was found unresponsive on by his bike on a road near his home. There apparently were no indications of anyone else nearby or an accident. He remained unconscious with a broken neck and broken ribs, according to their report.

Enzi served four terms in the U.S. Senate beginning in 1977. He opted not to run in 2020. He was replaced by former Rep. Cynthia Lummis. A Celebration of Life is planned at a later date.
