Frank Outka
1952 - 2023

Following a long illness, Frank Outka of Casper has passed into the arms of Our Almighty Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Frank was born to Paul and Laura (Hale) Outka in Rapid City, SD. He lived there a good share of his life before relocating to Wyoming.

He had two marriages. The first was to Marcia Ryan and the second was to Melody Schaar.

Frank enjoyed being a heavy equipment operator. He worked for the City of Rapid City, SD and the Powder River Coal Company in Gillette, Wyoming.

He had been a 15-year cancer survivor, receiving a bone marrow stem cell donor transplant. The transplant caused chronic Graft-vs-Host-Disease, a condition where the donor’s stem cells constantly fight against the body. Serious medical issues challenged him for many years.

Interests and hobbies included music, four-wheelers, hunting, fishing, travel, reading, current events, and sharing quality time with good friends. He was a life-long Christian.

Frank was preceded in death by many special people, including both parents, his first wife, several cousins, and all of his elder relatives. He had many beautiful pets throughout his life.

Survivors include his wife Mel Outka; brother Gary (Barb) Outka; step-sister Bonnie (Keith) Meisner; step-brother Bob Dump; nieces Ashley (Preacher) Dunbar, and Abigail Ryan; nephews John (Tammy) Ryan, Caleb Ryan, Matthew Ryan, and Nicholas Outka; and best friends Raney (Sandy) Felt, Jim (Kim) McCuin, and Bill (Carole) Kuehne

Frank’s favorite charity was the Humane Society. Cremation has taken place. At his request, no services are planned.

Arrangements are under the direction of Newcomer Casper. To leave the family a special message, please select the "Share Memories" option.
