Bama Red Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Three or four years ago, he came to Ambush to present Regulator badges to two of our club members and also shot the match. I was fortunate enough to be on his posse and immediately found out that he had the Cowboy Spirit and was a lot of fun to shoot with. Our little cowboy world will be diminished by his absence. Happy trails, blue skies and green grass, Coyote! Prayers up for his family and friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J. Mark Flint #31954 LIFE Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 I had the opportunity to spend time with Coyote Calhoun on a few occasions. In truth, we disagreed about a great many things, and I gave him a hard time more than once. He always smiled and took everything far better than I would have He will be missed. And I, well I feel a little ashamed of myself for not being a better sport when I had the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cherokee Charlie Regulator #4967 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 My deepest sympathies to Coyote's family. My prayers are with you in your hour of need. Coyote and I had our differences and right now I don't feel so good about myself because I let him go before we could make amends. Perhaps I can learn a lesson from this mistake----"Never, ever burn a bridge"(unless you leave a safety rope). Until we meet again.

Bluff, SASS #28259 Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 It was a wonderful celebration of Lamar's life. The funeral was a mix of hymns, stories, and reverence, with a great showing of cowboys (around 50, according to 'Nooga Kid), including Judge Roy Bean and his wife. Lamar's daughter gave us all a wonderful peak into their family life- his deep love for his wife, Kay, and his family, water gun fights on vacation, his singing every Beatles and Rolling Stones song ever made, and his passion for everything he did. "Go big or go home", was his attitude. Stubbs read a heartfelt poem that fit the occasion. The lobby of the church was filled with memories of his life, including pottery (he studied pottery in college), stained glass, and photography. His SASS Hall of Fame certificate and other SASS awards were there, too, but no 'clean match' pins, at least that I could see... that, according to his daughter, he was wearing. I love it! At its conclusion, the cowboys in attendance formed an 'honor guard' line on either side of the walkway as Coyote was carried to the hearse. An honor, indeed. And a site to see. I think about how much I love this sport + the people that participate in it, and am so grateful for the people like Coyote Calhoun who's attitude of 'go big or go home' made a difference, first here in GA, then for all of SASS. Continued prayers for the family... SASS family included. You are missed already Coyote Calhoun, happy trails, until we meet again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apache Hawk 60642 Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Never had the chance to meet the man. But from what I read, he must have been a hoot to shoot with. (Why is my monitor all blurry ?) Prayers up for the family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louisiana Lady SASS #34986 Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Coyote, My B-Western buddy...how I'm going to miss you. You were truly a friend to Matt & I. We enjoyed so much the times you'd stop by our campsite and eat and visit with everyone...such memories we will treasure. So wish we could have attended the funeral to let your family know how much you touched our lives with your endless devotion to this sport that we all love so much. Your presence will be deeply missed but NEVER forgotten...you my friend will always be in our hearts. Rest in Peace, Louisiana Lady Matt Masterson Cypress Creek Cowboys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
