Mike Enzi, the former Wyoming senator, died Monday after sustaining serious injuries in a recent bicycle accident near his home in Gillette, Wyoming.
Enzi, who was 77, "passed away peacefully" while surrounded by his family, a statement read. "His family expresses their deep appreciation for all of the prayers, support and concern. They now ask for privacy and continued prayers during this difficult time."
Enzi’s family said he was admitted to UCHealth Medical Center of the Rockies in Loveland, Colorado. He was unconscious and unable to recover from his injuries, which included a broken neck and ribs, the family said.

Not to make light of this, but the ultimately fatal bike accident will probably be attributed to Covid.
He died peacefully after being racked asunder in a traffic accident.
Now might be a topical moment to remind everyone that even though Mike Enzi had a very respectable lifetime ACU rating, about a decade ago, Liz Cheney decided she was going to primary him. If that wasn’t foreshadowing, I don’t know what is.
In any event, RIP Senator Enzi.
I’d also like to ask for privacy.
Regarding my vaccination records.
Hey, did LeBron and his family ever take those covid vaccines?
Solid, salt-of-the-earth conservative Senator and sweet grandpa. Son of a humble shoe salesman and Eagle Scout who worked his way up from nothing and was happy just representing the people of a rural, western state INSTEAD of being some kind of national figure who gets his face on TV constantly.
Shame on the self-appointed "Tea Party leaders" and conservative pundits who tried to primary him out of office and replace him with loudmouth privileged RINO princess Liz Cheney because Enzi was "too old" and his record was "only" 90% perfect.
I hope they're looking back in hindsight and feeling ashamed now.
Yep, that’s what I remember about the guy. A solid voice.
One has to have honor to have a sense of shame, Billy… And most of those rhino pricks have zero honor.
Former senator? That’s awful young to be a former senator.
Yup.
Anti-Italian prejudice.
Apparently he’s not Italian despite the sounding name. Says his paternal grandparents are ethnic Germans from Ukraine.
Anti-German prejudice.
Hilarious in hindsight. Not that anyone predicted Princess Liz would turn into THIS level of traitor.
RIP Senator Enzi.
I didn’t realize it was an accident. That’s terrible. Some NBA assistant coach was killed the other day biking, by a car, I don’t know if Enzi’s was car related. My 74 year old uncle bikes on the streets of Chicago. Honestly, I’m afraid to.
Vera Farmiga (and her sister) are other people I figured were Italian, their parents were Ukrainian. Interesting.
Italian by injection?
NFL coach Greg Knapp.
The aggressive bikers are the worst.
