TexasCowboy was called home last night.

Please Add your prayers.

[Dubya]

Soldier rest, Gently pressed,
To the calm, Mother Earth's
Waiting breast;
Duty done, Like the sun:
Going West.

[proud American in Canada]

I'm so sorry. I didn't really know him (unfortunately) but I certainly recognized his screen name.

Prayers for his family and friends.

[Bahbah]

Prayers being sent for all who loved him.

That is alot of people.

[Dubya]

Thanks for letting me know.

[chesty_puller]

Quite the fighter. Damit

[yarddog]

I Really am sorry to hear the bad news. We are going to miss his always interesting comments on FR. That generation is passing on and it looks like it really was the last great one.

My Father is not going to last much longer according t the Doctor, but he has had 87 good years.

[Halls]

Oh this is sad. God bless him!

[HoustonCurmudgeon]

Texas Cowboy / COB1 / ElRoy R. was a fine Texas gentleman and a credit to the old, oilfield. He was a hard charging, hard drinking, get things done man and a friend. He found the Lord, gave up drinking, and put up with my stories.

ElRoy was a true “hand” and the world was better for it.

May the Lord gather him in and give him the rest from pain he has longed for and needed.

May He Rest in Peace, I will sorely miss knowing he is out there.

[moondoggie]

Prayers for Cowboy and for all of those who knew and loved him.

[bluesagewoman]

We'll miss him. Condolences to his family.

[Darksheare]

I just heard.

Dunno what to say.
Prayers up for you guys, friends, and family.

[tioga]

Father God embrace this precious child of yours for all eternity. Heal his family and friends. I ask this in Jesus name. Amen.

[Dubya]

Would you put this on your ping list please.

[kitkat]

Prayers up for TC and his family.

[Tuxedo]

Rest well, TC. You'll be missed...

[MamaLucci]

FReeper Texas Cowboy

Texas Cowboy, you've drilled your last well,
you've played your last song,
but know the space of your going is vast,
and the hearts of family and FReepers are crushed.

The souls you've touched along the way
remember your sunny smile, your heart of gratitude,
and the willingness to offer help where ever needed.

Once a Marine always a Marine.
You lived up to the motto.
A stellar example of going the extra mile
to hold a little soul in your big hands
to take little Texas Termite into your loving heart.
To bow your head in prayer for Faith, your own and for your daughter.

Big Bend, Texas.

Texas Cowboy, now you've gone round the bend,
Your work here is done.
Your dreams of a place for children will live on
and come to fruition.
Someone will grab the dream and make it happen.
I only wish we could have had a Boot Scootin' time before you left.
Maybe we did and I did not know it.
TC, you are in a far better place now, no pain, no heart break, no sorrow, and with love from many FReepers to cheer you on.

I'm so sorry.

Thank you for posting the thread, Peach.

[Darksheare]

Squantos just told me.

[SE Mom]

Godspeed, Marine.

May God's love comfort his family...

[backhoe]

Friends, thank you for calling this to my attention.

He was a good guy, and will be missed. God bless, all.

[squarebarb]

I am so sorry to hear this.

I once asked him a lot of questions about drilling for oil and he answered with great patience.

Be with the Lord, TC.

[USF]

He will always be remembered fondly by his friends at FReep.

Prayers up for TC and his loved ones.

[Andy'smom]

I am so sorry to hear this. What a great man.

[i_dont_chat]

He's transitioning from this life to the after-life.

TexasCowboy has a new understanding today. He knows things that we don't know.

[Amelia]

I hate to hear this. TC was one of a kind, and unstoppable in pursuit of what he thought was right. I'm still touched by the special bond he had with little Logan.

[DollyCali]

Thanks for sharing the sad new Eaker. May he Rest in Peace. He fought a good fight but when you are called "home", you must go. He was a good FReeper and will be remembered for a long time

[NonValueAdded]

Rest in Peace, TexasCowboy.

[BlessedByLiberty]

God bless him and his family at this very sad time. There is no greater epitaph than he will be missed.

[Anti-Bubba182]

Prayers for him and Family.

[Rightfootforward]

Prayers and heartache over the loss of a dear man. He fought the good fight against his illness. I admire him greatly for that. A Marine to the end, through and through.

Be at peace, TC. You are in our hearts.

[humblegunner]

He was my very good friend.

[mcshot]

I'm counting on seeing TC on the other side as well.
God Bless,

mc

[Blood of Tyrants]

My condolences. It is a sad day on earth and a joyus day in heaven when a Christian passes from this life. He is probably standing in the presence of Jesus and wondering why he held on so long.

[Diver Dave]

[squarebarb]

And he found it. An admirable man.

[Judith Anne]

Texas Cowboy, Heaven is so blessed by you...lucky angels to have you there...

[Americanwolf]

Salute!

[Darksheare]

He sounded like someone I should have met.

[Dutchgirl]

I am tired of losing our cowboys..

[LUV W]

Oh, my!!!!!!!! I can't believe it.....God rest his precious soul.

REST IN PEACE TEXAS COWBOY

[Fred Nerks]

MY HEROES HAVE ALWAYS BEEN COWBOYS.

You done good, TC! I hope heaven is just like Texas!

Another good one gone. Go with Prayers to speed your way.

[squarebarb]

Oh well, I won't try again with the picture.

[nutmeg]

Oh no... very sad news. He will be missed. Prayers for TexasCowboy's family and friends...
