Dan Jernigan Obituary

Dan Wesley Jernigan 1962- Dan Wesley Jernigan, of Cheyenne, Wyoming, has passed away at 63 years of age.

Dan was born in Roswell, New Mexico on March 30, 1962. The family moved to Cheyenne, Wyoming in the early 1960s. Preceded in death by his mother, his father, and his sister, he leaves behind a wife and four daughters, one sister and one brother, who will forever hold him in their hearts.

After years of struggling with addiction and depression, he is finally at rest. His life was marked by challenges that few can imagine. His addiction and depression were a heavy burden he carried for many years, and it often kept him distant from those he loved.

No public services will be held. As we say goodbye, we choose to embrace compassion and to remember him for his moments of warmth and kindness.
