April 11, 1953 – February 29, 2024

Dwight David Willman, 70, of Steamboat Springs, Colorado passed away on Feb. 29, 2024, at Yampa Valley Medical Center in Steamboat Springs.
Born in Reading, Pennsylvania, Dwight was active in sports growing up while attending grade school in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania. Learning to play guitar would eventually find Dwight alongside his brother, Tom, in a band they dubbed “The Selmores” in their high school years. Dwight was an accomplished lead guitarist in the band, and they had quite the local following. Learning to fish at an early age, Dwight had a lifetime of adventures…from bay trips with his grandparents to deep sea adventures with friends, Dwight was in his element on the water.
Occupationally, Dwight developed a passion for retail sales and upon moving to Steamboat Springs in 1976, Dwight gained employment at F.M. Light & Sons, where he worked for 10 years before opening several successful retail stores in Steamboat.
Dwight is survived by his mother, Jeanne Willman; daughter Amanda Starbuck, her husband Leo and their son, August; Sister Melinda Willman; Nephews Aaron Willman and Shane Burdette, Nieces Sarah Willman, Kayleigh Kerbs and Elisa Burdette. Dwight was predeceased by his father, C. Lee Willman; Brother, Thomas Willman; grandparents Charles and Ruth Bortz and Clarence and Sadie Willman.
There will be a celebration of Dwight’s life held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, March 9th, 2024, at Concordia Lutheran Church in Steamboat Springs, with a reception following. The Willman family would love to hear a great story shared by friends and loved ones as we honor his memory and the moments we shared together.
