There have been many deaths in Wyoming. "Important deaths" is difficult to define.

There are the deaths of governors and other politicians:
Milward Lee Simpson 23rd governor, US Senator
Amos W. Barber, 2nd governor
Joseph Meyer, politician
Stanley Knapp Hathaway, 27th governor
John Benjamin Kendrick, 9th governor, US Senator
Leslie Andrew Miller, 17th governor
Frank Lee Houx, 10th governor

There are historical deaths:
Esther Hobart Morris, the first woman ever appointed as a Justice of the Peace.
William Judd Fetterman, officer of the US Army who was killed in the Fetterman Fight.
Big Nose George (George Parrott) who was executed murdering two law enforcement officers.
"Big" Steve Long who was a particularly violent lawman, killing eight men in gunfights within two months. Long was lynched after confessing to his fiancee that he had killed a prospector in a botched robbery attempt.
Ellen Liddy Watson "Cattle Kate" was accused of cattle rustling and lynched.

Then there are the deaths which made news:
Matthew Shepard who was beaten, tortured and left to die near Laramie, Wyoming on the night of October 6, 1998, and died six days later.

Celebrity deaths in Wyoming:
Chris LeDoux, American Country Music singer-songwriter, bronze sculptor and rodeo champion.
Susan Thompson Buffet, first wife of investor Warren Buffet.
