Gordon Stoltz Jr., 62, of Powell, Wyoming, passed away on Oct. 23, 2025, while working on his ranch. Born Oct. 5, 1963, to Judith and Gordon Stoltz Sr., Gordy was raised in Grand Rapids, Minnesota, graduating from Grand Rapids High School in 1982. After graduating from Eveleth Technical College in 1983 for graphic design, Gordy spent his career in the printing field. For many years, Gordy worked for the Minnesota State Department of Corrections, passing along his printing skills to inmates.
Upon retiring, Gordy built his dream ranch out West. Gordy was an avid woodworker and eventually established WY Custom Cabinets. His passion for being a cowboy and breeding quality horses became apparent when his business, Beartooth Quarter Horses, began selling colts all over the U.S. Gordy took great pride in his horses and built many lifelong relationships with other horse enthusiasts. If you met Gordy once, you were considered his friend. He was always helping anyone at any time at a drop of a hat.
Gordy is survived by his parents, Judith and Gordon Sr.; his wife of 23 years, Lori Stoltz; brothers Greg (Frankie) Stoltz, Gary (Angie) Stoltz; sons Jon (Jessica) Stoltz, Jeremy (Jessica) Stoltz, Jesse (Rebekah) Johnston, and Bill Johnston; extended family, Dennis Coleman (Shelley); Ken Coleman (Gema); eight grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews.
His memorial will be at the Bennett Creek Baptist Church in Clark, Wyoming, at 11 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 13, 2025.
