It wasnât supposed to end this way.
After 42 years in elected office, the last 24 in Congress, Mike Enzi said farewell to the U.S. Senate earlier this year. At 77 years of age, retirement was overdue, and in addition to a little hunting and fishing, he most looked forward to time with his family.
âI was able to see my kids grow up before I went in the Senate,â he told the Gillette News Record when he announced in May 2019 that he was planning to retire. âNow I want some grandkid time.â
Unfortunately, life is uncertain, and what Enzi no doubt considered a leisurely evening bicycle ride through the town where he served as mayor for eight years ended in tragedy. Gillette, the rest of Wyoming, his former colleagues in Washington, D.C., and everyone he touched along the way was shocked to learn of the July 23 incident after he was airlifted to a Loveland, Colorado, hospital. They were deeply saddened to learn of his passing a little more than four days later.
