Jack Delrae Roper

Jack Delrae Roper passed away at his home in Evanston, WY on October 27, 2026. He was born November 9, 2026, to Joanne Roper in Evanston, WY.

Growing up Jack had many hobbies. In his younger years, you could find him at his Grandfathers ranch tinkering on anything he could get his hands on. Hi favorite project was the SMT with Shane. Jack enjoyed hunting with his cousin Shane and Kayce.

He wrestled and played football in High School. During his final 2 years of High School him and his cousin Shane fixed up a dump truck and the named it "fer dinan" like the bull. He graduated in 1989 and went on to Wyo Tech in Laramie for Diesel Mechanics.

He graduated in the top 5 of his class. After graduation, Jack worked on an offshore drilling rig and flew all over fixing things. After spending too much time away from home, he came back because he didn't like being away from his family for that long. When he came back home, he worked a variety of jobs, one of which he truly enjoyed because he worked along side his brother Kayce at Hutchinson Oil.

Jack was quick and full of wit. He loved to joke and make people laugh. He wrote poetry and published 3 books with his poetry and short stories. His work was inspired by his family and friends.

Jack was quite the D & D Player. If you ever played with him, you knew about the Quests he lined out. He played D & D before the playstation craze. He was an avid gamer and loved his playstation Quest games and of course he got his brothers and cousin in on the Quests. He was quite the talker and anyone that knew him know how the conversations went. You would hear him say, "and that" or "what not" when you talked to him.

In 2005 he suffered multiple spider brain aneurysms and spinal meningitis. The doctors didn't think he would make it long after that but he went way beyond the time. He was unable to work after his injury so he dug deeper into his hobbies and spending as much time as he could with family. He was a kind soul with a gentle heart.

He is survived by his younger brother Kayce, little sis Liz Roper and their children, Jocelyn, Alana, Timothy Roper and his great nephew Beau Roper. Great nieces, Kaysha and Kamara Gerber, brother Tom (Michelle), niece, Crystal (Dave) Holker and their children, Lincoln, Calvin and Grayson.
