Alan Troy Fietkau: 1969 – 2025
Alan Troy Fietkau, affectionately known as “Troy,” was born on January 21, 1969, in Missoula, Montana. He lived a spirited life, marked by his dedication to family and an adventurous spirit that resonated with those around him. Troy’s journey came to a sudden end due to a work accident on October 22, 2025, in Jeffrey City, Wyoming, where he was making memories and living life to the fullest.
Troy was a graduate of college for Auto Body & Repair, showing early on that he was a jack of all trades. His career in the oil field was a testament to his strong work ethic and skills. He was described as dependable, fun, and very much the life of the party, often bringing laughter and joy to any gathering. His outgoing personality coupled with a selfless nature made him someone who would drop everything to help a friend in need. Truly a jokester at heart, he maintained a playful demeanor that endeared him to his family, friends, and co-workers alike.
He was deeply proud of his family, which included his beloved wife, Connie; daughters: Mickyla, Katie, and Callie; son, Alan; and five cherished grandchildren. His love for them was unwavering, and they were undoubtedly his proudest accomplishment. Troy’s protective nature was especially evident in his devotion to Connie, as he was known to be very protective and caring towards her.
In his leisure time, Troy found solace and enthusiasm in various hobbies such as forging, hunting, fishing, and motorcycling. Many fond memories were made with loved ones camping, enjoying bonfires, playing horseshoes at midnight, and engaging in spirited poker games. His outgoing spirit extended to outdoor activities where he sought adventure and connection, fostering lasting memories with family and friends.
Troy leaves behind siblings and his step-father, Earl Sanford, who all remember him as a fun-loving, supportive figure in their lives. He also mourns the loss of his son, Andrew Dale Fietkau; mother, Kathaleen Micky Sanford; father, Darrell Fietkau; and nephew, Spencer Sands, who will surely be missed during gatherings and moments of reflection.
A memorial service to honor Troy’s life will be held on November 1, 2025, at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Casper, Wyoming, starting at 11 a.m. Following this, a Celebration of Life will be conducted at 650 Blackwidow Rd, Casper, at 1:00 PM where family and friends will gather to reminisce and celebrate the joyous life he lived.
Troy Fietkau’s legacy will be one of loyalty, laughter, and love—a true testament to a remarkable man who left an indelible mark on the hearts of all who knew him.

Jim was a highly respected man who loved deeply, lived life passionately, and abided by his faith in Jesus Christ as the light guiding his life. He never met a stranger and routinely approached people he had not yet met to strike up conversations. He was an outdoorsman equally at home in the mountains or within the confines of civilization. He had an adventurous spirit which, accompanied by Jane, led him to live in several western states and Alaska, and to travel to places such as Ireland, New Zealand, Australia, and Japan. He was deeply committed to his Christian faith through which he viewed all people as God’s creation and prayed for everyone in general as well as individuals specifically. He served his church, Casper Community Church, faithfully, often participating in distributing food to others in need. Jim valued personal integrity and getting back up after being knocked down, leaving no one condemned or abandoned.
Donations and memorial contributions should be made to the Casper Community Church to further their mission of service.
