Donald Charles Baillie, 82, passed away on August 12, 2024, in
Star Valley Ranch, Wyoming. Born on July 9, 1942 in Cheyenne,
Wyoming.
Don graduated from Cheyenne High School in 1960 and began a
career in sales and management with his last position for over 20
years as District Manager for US Welding Supply in Cheyenne.
He and his wife of 42 years, Judith Baillie, retired and moved to
Star Valley Ranch, Wyoming in 2000. Here they designed and
built their second home together where he could relax and enjoy
his passion of fly fishing and enjoying the great outdoors and the
Teton Mountain Range. Don was always drawn to the Teton
Mountain Range area as his mother, Margaret G. Baillie, was a
school teacher in Moose, Wyoming back in 1937.
Don was extremely involved and passionate about the Town of
Star Valley Ranch and served on the Planning and Zoning Board
for 8-10 years in which 5 of those years he served as Chairman.
Don was instrumental in writing over half of the ordinances while
serving on the Town Council from 2019-2022.
Don was passionate about his fly-fishing where he looked forward
to his fishing trips to Alaska and Canada each summer with his
friends. He spent many days rowing his drift boat down the Salt
and Snake River's in Wyoming which brought him so much joy.
He was also an avid snow skier in the winter and spent most
weekends on the slopes of Colorado and Wyoming. His love of
the sport carried on to his son's, step-daughter's and grand-
children who because of their Grandpa became as passionate as

he. Grandpa Don also dedicated so much of his time to watching
his Grandchildren with all their sporting events.
Don leaves behind a legacy of love and laughter, survived by his
beloved wife of 42 years, Judy Baillie, his two son's: Steve Baillie
(Wendi) of Billings, MT, Mike Baillie (Kim) of Cheyenne, WY, his
two Step-Daughter's, Cathy Swindell (Mike Stilson) of Boulder
City, NV, and Susie Gibadlo (Shaun Armstrong) of Phoenix, AZ.
Grandpa Don is also survived by his nine grandchildren and two
great grandchildren.
Don is preceded in death by his mother, Margaret G Baillie, father,
Charles F. Baillie, Sister's, Margaret Loveridge and Dorothy
Louise Britthour and brother, Ronald Baillie.
Donald Baillie will be deeply missed by all who knew him, leaving
behind memories that will be cherished by his family, friends and
community.
