His time riding horses with his kids and grandchildren were his proudest moments. He was wise, proud and always welcoming to family and friends. He touched many hearts with his passion and kindness. His laughter was contagious and he always was full of stories and loved to make others smile. His spirit was unprecedented and he was always there to lend a hand and help out others. Our cherished cowboy rides away……riding his precious colt, Kit he trained and loved. We find peace knowing he’s living the rancher’s dream in heaven with heaven’s horses. Ride Like the Wind Cowboy……….We love you! He is forever in our hearts and memories and will be sadly missed by all whom had the pleasure of knowing him. Until we meet again………….
