Patrick "Pat" Kevin Leimback

Patrick Kevin Leimback, age 68, of Casper, Wyoming, passed away peacefully on February 27, 2026 at Central Wyoming Hospice, surrounded by loved ones. Those who knew him will remember Pat for kindness, sense of humor, love for his family, his time with the volunteer fire department and his love for the town of Dubois.

Pat was born on March 17, 1957 in Casper, Wyoming to Harry and Melda Leimback and grew up in Casper, Wyoming. After graduating high school, Pat spent his summer working at Brooks Lake Lodge owned by his parents. What was meant to be a summer job, turned into love for a small town where he found the love of his life and lived the majority of his life.

On June 12, 1978 Pat married Diana “Dee” Lynn Leimback, beginning a partnership defined by love, commitment, care taking and trips to the casino when they could get away. Together they raised four children, traveled, worked, and served the community. Pat took great pride in his children and grandchildren. He especially loved the family “lobster fest” tradition.

Throughout his life, Pat worked at the Wyoming LP until transitioning into a plumbing profession. Prior to starting L&L Plumbing, with his son, Tom, he started Pat’s Plumbing and enjoyed mentoring one of his closest friends, Shawn Hess. He proudly served the city of Dubois as a volunteer fireman and as the fire chief for 5 years. Additionally, he served as the Emergency Management Coordinator. Pat was known for his playful behavior and his willingness to help anyone in need when he could. Outside of work, he found joy in hunting, fishing, camping and enjoying his friends and family.

Pat had a gift for storytelling and often known for his unexpected drop ins. He will be remembered for the care he took of his wife Dee who had many health challenges throughout her life, but Pat was always there for her and the children.

Pat is survived by his sister Linda Toohey (Ed), Children, Thomas Leimback, Kristy (Josh) Oster, Jennifer (Branden) Leonhardt, Amber (Corey) Ramsey, grandchildren, Peyton and Preston Leimback, Kooper and Konner Oster, and Hayden and Brooklyn Leonhardt.

He was preceded in death by his wife Diana “Dee” Lynn Leimback, parents, Harry and Melda Leimback and brother, Tom Leimback.

A celebration of Life will be held on March 14, 2026, at 12pm at Noon Rock in Dubois, Wyoming after a graveside service at 11am. All who knew and loved Pat are welcome to attend.
