Peter James

Rodolph

Peter James Rodolph passed away peacefully on November 12, 2026, surrounded by his loving family in Casper, Wyoming.

Born on January 31, 1956 in Casper, WY, Pete was the son of the late Judith K. Johnson and James P. Rodolph. He graduated from Kelly Walsh High School in 1974. After high school he worked for Bundy’s, a ski and sport shop; he also worked with a uranium company. He became a meter reader for PacifiCorp in 1977, which started him on his career path to becoming a lineman.

Pete dedicated over thirty years of his life to ensuring electricity flowed to the people of the Mountain West Region. He retired from the local power company on March 25, 2011. He was known for working hard and not letting anyone beat him up the trail. He was eager to help others grow and learn, and always delighted in their success. He encouraged everyone he knew to read and study the Bible.

Outside of his career, Pete loved his family. He loved to camp, flyfish, hunt, ride horses, play guitar, and work - Yes anyone who knew Pete would say he loved to work! He was either helping someone work or planning another project. In just the last few years, he had begun to develop a love of growing flowers as well.

He married his beloved wife Vickie (Proctor) Rodolph in 1975, with whom he shared fifty-one joyful years of marriage. Together, they built a home grounded on the Bible and family.

Pete is survived by his wife Vickie; his children Isaiah Rodolph (Andrea), Aaron Rodolph (Nicole), Sommer Sherren (Nate), Luke Rodolph (Alicen), and Micah Tieszen (Johnathan); his 14 grandchildren, Jacob (Charity), Kelsa (Taylor), Kaleb, Laya (Derick), Brennan, Jonathan, Aden, Madi, Alex, Will, Kaiden, Atreyu, Aubrey, Adaline, and his two dear sisters Tina Dekay and Cheryl Bieler. He is also survived by many extended family and dear friends. He was preceded in death by his parents, Judith and James, his step-dad Richard, and his two brothers, Lance and Paul.

A memorial service celebrating Pete’s life will be held at 2:00 PM on Tuesday November 17, 2026 at College Heights Baptist Church in Casper, Wyoming.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial donations be made to the True Care Women's Resource Center of Casper, Wyoming.
