In Memory Of Mike Lenning

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Lenning family.  Mike was a many time NRA Finals qualifier and the 1980 NRA Rookie of the Year.

Michael Duane Lenning

Michael Duane Lenning was born in Billings on Sept. 22, 1962, to Duane and Shirley (Walrod) Lenning. Mike passed away on the longest day of the year, June 21, 2013, at his home in Billings.

Mike was raised on his grandfather’s ranch south of Columbus, and attended school in Columbus through his junior year, moving to Billings and graduating with the Billings Senior High School class of 1981.

Growing up in a rodeo family, Mike’s love of rodeo started at an early age. Always the competitor, Mike competed at all levels of the sport, starting his career at the junior rodeo level, through high school and NIRA, and ultimately the PRCA.

Mike capably worked five events, including the bareback riding, steer wrestling, calf roping, team roping and bull riding, and was honored with many year-end awards and championships at all levels.

Mike attended college on rodeo scholarships at Eastern Wyoming College at Torrington, Wyo., Montana State University at Bozeman, and graduated with a degree in Agri-Business from Oklahoma Panhandle State University at Goodwell, Okla.

In later years, he worked construction, belonging to Laborer’s International Union of North America Local 1686 in Billings.

Mike belonged to the Masonic Lodge of Hamilton.

He had a smile for everyone, and his friends and family meant the world to him.

Mike is survived by his father, Duane of Columbus; his brother, Mitch and his wife Allison of Worden; his nephews, Charlie C. Lenning of Columbia Falls, C.M. (Little Charley) Lenning of Worden; niece, Lisa and husband Ryan Lien and their children of Billings; girlfriend Denise Cooper; special friends Robyn Brennan and Don Hurley; his aunt, Delores Terpstra and uncle Jim Walrod. Mike was preceded in death by his mother, Shirley; grandparents Hank and Liz Lenning and Lucille Umstead; and uncles Dean Walrod and Richard Lenning.

A celebration and remembrance of Mike’s life will be held on Tuesday, July 9, at 11 a.m., at Michelotti-Sawyers Mortuary, 1001 Alderson Ave., in Billings.

Memorials may be made to the Larry Jordan Cowboy Crisis Fund at the Northern Rodeo Association Office, Box 1122, Billings, MT 59103.

Clinicians include Allen Bach, 30 time NFR qualifier and four-time world champion; Lisa Anderson, circuit finalist in Montana, Texas and the Columbia River Circuit; Rusty Sewalt, five-time NFR tie down roping qualifier; Beau Clark, NFR steer wrestling qualifier and standout contestant; Lana Tibbets, College National Finals and regional champion goat tier; Jack Stephenson, two-time National Finals Rodeo qualifier and two-time George Strait winner; and Trey Johnson, PRCA Rookie of the Year Heeler in 2000.

As an added feature, Clark, who finished third in the average for the 2012 NFR standings and 13th in the year’s overall standings, will be present on July 8-9 to provide personalized instruction.

The second annual camp at the Bozeman ranch features team, calf and breakaway roping, barrel racing, steer wrestling and goat tying instruction that include both ground work and live cattle. Included in the camp curriculum will be motivational teaching and positive practice instruction sessions to give participants the techniques to win both inside and outside of the arena.

The camp features an exciting mix of both rodeo oriented training by highly regarded clinicians and a chance for hours of fellowship with positive-minded rodeo mentors.
The camp is designed for both high school students and adults and provides a wholesome environment for this western, family-style sport. Junior high school students will be accepted if they have a solid horsemanship background.

Scholarships will be available. The $300 per camper coast includes breakfast, lunch supper, lodging, stalls and hookups.
