One of our dear friends, Top Hands and all around great guys had a fatal accident last Friday. Steve Douglas had just left the sale barn in Winnsboro, TX with a load of steers and two miles out of town lost control, hit a telephone pole and was killed. The telephone pole came down across his trailer killing some of the cattle and pinning his horse. The vet has his horse and is going to be okay. His visitation was last night and you had to park several blocks away from the funeral home and people were lined up outside the funeral home to get in. Steve was 47 years old. His saddle and chaps were on his coffen and a picture of him and his horse was there. It was pretty touching. You just can't be too careful. Even though Steve still competed in Ranch rodeos he was a careful man but in an instant was taken from us. I am sure his family will turn is grey gelding to greener pastures. We pray the same for Steve.
