Thank you so much for all the prayers. They were and still are needed. Some of you here have met Cole. So I will let you know what happened and it is good for me to talk in a semi-anonymous setting.

He was roping with his granddad. Cole had a smooth run straight down the arena, and for no reason the horse stumbled and both horse and rider cartwheeled head over heals and the horse rolled over Cole. His mom and sister were in Marshal at a barrel race when they got the news and I was coaching a HS baseball game in another town. We both left in the middle of what we were doing and made the 2-3hr drive to get to him. My father (Cole's granddad) held him in his arms for hours until they made him give him up.

Well, you can imagine (and some may know) the misery that was being felt, but I asked his 10 yo sister what she wanted to do about her two day barrel race. She said she wanted to go race. Her brother would want to go to the arena over sitting around the house being sad. So I said you bet I will take you. Well, I couldn't breath when she took off down the ally, but she came out with her fastest time yet in Marshall. I also want to thank Ms. Martha for being so kind to my daughter.

I have been overwhelmed by the love that has been shown by the rodeo world. Some of his favorite pro cowboys, not so pro cowboys, stock contractors, people I didn't even know that he met at the sale barn,, and even his favorite rodeo clown came from all over the country came to tell stories of Cole and how he impacted their lives and to give support to our family.

One of my favorite stories and it kind of shows how Cole made you feel.... One of his adult cowboy friends stood up at the service and said how he wanted to come to visitation the night before because he felt like he was Cole's special friend, but when he looked up and saw the other 2,000 people roll up he realized Cole had lots if special friends..... That is just how Cole made you feel, special.

Thanks for listening and forgive all the typos, fragments and run-ons. It is just hard to type through all the tears on my phone screen.

I included a link to my FB page. If you can not answer the question I pUT foreword, please contact me.

The Lord is the lamp to our feet in times of darkness. I can't imagine your loss, and there are no words to comfort you. But please know my family and my church are praying for you and your family.
