IN REMEMBRANCE OF DARRELL TAYPOTAT
The INFR rodeo family is saddened by the loss of longtime competitor and true cowboy, Darrell Taypotat.
Darrell spent a lifetime on the rodeo trail. A handy roper and all-around cowboy, he competed alongside many great partners over the years and made friendships with cowboys and cowgirls everywhere he went.
In true cowboy fashion, Darrell was still entered to rope this coming weekend.
Cowboy, your entry fees have been paid.
Darrell will be laid to rest alongside his horse, Peppy β and somehow, we canβt imagine a more fitting resting place for a cowboy. Together again, partners for one final ride.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Darrellβs family, friends, partners and the entire rodeo community.
Rest easy, Cowboy. You will be missed down the rodeo trail.
