It is with heavy hearts and profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing on February 27, 2026, in Phoenix, AZ.

Pam Beck Ullyett, a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, left this world unexpectedly with her family by her side. Pam was born on February 4, 1960, in Sheridan, Wyoming and it is here that she began a life filled with love, laughter, and an unyielding devotion to those she cherished most.

Pam's journey was deeply rooted in the values and warmth instilled by her late grandmother, mother, and adored brother. Surviving her is her devoted husband, Shaun, Her children, Chris and his wife Imelda Bell, and Brandi with her FAVORITE son in law Dj Oster, along with her son Cody Bell, who continue to carry forward her legacy of love and compassion. Her sister, Gina Beck, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, aunts, cousins, nieces, nephews, and a circle of dear friends mourn her loss and celebrate her remarkable life.

Pam attended Sheridan College, where her passion for caring for others blossomed into a career as a Registered Nurse. Her dedication and leadership quickly earned her the role of Director of Nurses, a position she held with pride and commitment. Pam's nurturing spirit extended beyond her professional life; she was a beacon of support, always willing to lend a helping hand or a comforting word to anyone in need. Her generosity knew no bounds, she would have given the shirt off her back if it meant easing someone else's burden.

Those who knew Pam will remember her for her smile and contagious laughter. She was a sports enthusiast, with a particular fondness for her cherished Denver Broncos and Colorado Avalanche. Although I'd like to say her family came 1st, we have to be honest... whom she affectionately referred to as "her people" knew differently! She adored all cultures and relished the opportunity to learn and explore new ideas, often finding joy in a good book and the pursuit of knowledge.

Pam's heart overflowed with love for her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, always eager to receive their latest pictures or videos. Her favorite saying, "Oh geez," was a testament to her playful spirit and ability to find joy in the simplest moments.

Pam Beck Ullyett leaves behind a legacy of love, kindness, and an indomitable spirit that will forever be cherished by those whose lives she touched. Her memory will live on in the hearts of her family and friends, and in the countless acts of kindness she bestowed upon the world.

A Open House Reception in Celebration of Pam's Life will be held on Saturday, April 25, 2026 from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM, in the Champion Kane Reception Hall.

The family kindly requests contributions to assist with expenses via their GoFundMe page at https://gofund.me/7279805b5. Those wishing to send floral tributes can make arrangements with Cottonwood Floral or Babes Flowers to have them sent directly to Champion Kane Funeral Home.

Steve Jones, 57, of Dayton, Wyoming, passed away peacefully on the morning of March 26, 2026, surrounded by the love of his family.

A devoted husband, father, grandfather, and respected member of multiple communities, Steve lived a life defined by service, curiosity, and quiet strength.

Born with a deep love for the natural world, Steve became a lifelong falconer and founded American Falconry magazine, where he spent nearly 30 years writing, editing, and sharing his knowledge with readers across the country. His passion for birds of prey shaped much of his life, and he was known for his wisdom, humor, and the generosity with which he mentored others in the falconry community.

Steve dedicated 11 years to the Dayton Volunteer Fire Department, serving his neighbors with courage, humility, and a steady presence in moments of crisis. In addition, he spent 23 years as a school bus driver for Sheridan School District #1, a role he cherished deeply. He cared for the kids with the same heart he brought to everything he did.

To his family, Steve was the heart of the home — gentle, thoughtful, and endlessly patient. He was a storyteller, a listener, and a source of calm no matter the circumstance. His greatest joy came from time spent with his wife, children, and grandchildren, and from the simple, meaningful moments that made up a life well lived.

Steve is survived by his mother Judy, his father James, his older sister Karen, his loving wife, Tina; his two children, Brittany (Gonzales) and Dakota; three grandchildren, Tristan, Tifa, and Aerith Gonzales; all of whom will carry his memory forward with pride and affection. He is preceded in death by his older brother, David, and Steve's beloved falcon of 27 years, Pinky, with whom he will now be laid to rest, honoring a bond that shaped much of his life.

A memorial service will be held in collaboration with the Dayton Fire Department to honor Steve’s life, service, and legacy. Details will be shared with family and friends.

Steve will be remembered for his kindness, his dedication to community, his passion for falconry, and the steady, gentle way he moved through the world. His absence leaves a profound void, but his impact will continue to be felt by all who knew and loved him.

A Celebration Of Life will be held,on Saturday, April 18, 2026 at 1:00 pm at the Tongue River Community Center, there will be a public viewing following the service. With a dessert reception to follow the service.
