Pat Roberts
1936 - 2005

We are very sad to announce that Gerald's wife, Pat Roberts, lost her battle with cancer and passed away November 3, 2005.

Services were held at 10:30 A.M. on November 8, 2005 at Brethren In Christ Church in Abilene, Kansas.


A Cowboy's Prayer

Our gracious and heavenly Father, we pause in the midst of this festive occasion, mindful and thoughtful of the guidance that you have given us.

As cowboys, Lord, we don't ask for any special favors, we ask only that you let us compete in this arena, as in lifes arena. We don't ask to never break a barrier, or to draw a round of steer that's hard to throw, or a chute fighting horse, or a bull that is impossible to ride. We only ask that you help us to compete as honest as the horses we ride and in a manner as clean and pure as the wind that blows across this great land of ours.

So when we do make that last ride that is inevitable for us all to make, to that place up there, where the grass is green and lush and stirrup high, and the water runs cool, clear, and deep - You'll tell us, as we ride in, that our entry fees have been paid.

These things we ask - Amen.

In loving memory of our Dad, Granddad, Husband and Friend, Gerald Roberts.

We will miss you.

Gerald's last ride

A horse with no rider, saddled with Gerald's championship saddle from Madison Square Garden, symbolized this World Champion Cowboy's last ride.



Our friend Grant, pictured above, graciously brought his horse out in the near-blizzard to honor our family's wish - Thank You, Grant, from the bottom of our hearts.

 

 

JIM SHOULDERS

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family of World Champion Rodeo Cowboy Jim Shoulders who passed away on June 20, 2007. Another legendary cowboy has left us for the heavenly arena in the sky. May we never forget.
