Arrest Warrant Issued for Mark Jay Groshart: Legal Troubles for the Individual
Mark Jay Groshart, a beloved figure in Dayton, Wyoming, passed away on June 29, 2025, at the age of 75. Born on March 2, 1950, in Sheridan, Mark spent a life marked by devotion to family, community, and music.
Born to Ralph and Shirley Groshart, Mark was the cherished father of Jay and Amber, and the proud grandfather of Aliya and Paisley. He was affectionately known as the "pet spoiler-in-chief" within his family due to his generous treatment of pets. His home was always a welcoming place, with his always-lit porch light and full cookie jar symbolising his open-door hospitality and caring spirit.
Mark's musical inclinations were evident as he played boogie-woogie piano and saxophone, sharing his love for Big Band, Jazz, and classic country music with his grandchildren and family. Music was an integral part of his identity and a way he connected with those around him.
In addition to his love for family and music, Mark served four years in the United States Navy as a SeaBees mechanic during the Vietnam War. He shared a deep bond with his sister Musette (Groshart) Poll and his brothers Matthew and Mike, and spent half a century ranching with his brother Mike on their family ranches.
Mark's life leaves a legacy of quiet strength, generosity, and devotion, touching many through his warmth, hospitality, and the joyful music he shared. Champion Kane Funeral Home has been entrusted with arrangements for Mark Groshart. Services for Mark will be held on July 7th at the Dayton Community Church, followed by a reception at Dayton Town Hall.
Donations in memory of Mark can be made to Sheridan and Dayton Search and Rescue and the Dayton Fire Department. Online condolences can be written at www.kanefuneral.com. Mark will be sorely missed by his wife Debbie, children Jay and Amber, granddaughters Aliya and Paisley, siblings Musette Poll, Matthew, and Mike, as well as extended family and friends. A Celebration of Life was planned for July 7, 2025, to honour his memory and the impact he had on those around him.
Mark was passionate about travel, often indulging in trips during his retirement years, as his love for lifestyle allowed him to enjoy new experiences. The joy of music, a hallmark of Mark's identity, also extended to his travels, where he would explore various cultural melodies.
