Hoss Posted June 9, 2024 Posted June 9, 2024 Verdadero passed June 8 2024. A great friend and cowboy. He and I travelled to many matches together. He mentored me as I started cowboy shooting & reloading. Truly a great guy. I know he is gone with Jesus now, but I’m gonna miss him Vaya Con Dios Pard 1 5 Quote
Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted June 9, 2024 Posted June 9, 2024 I am very sad to hear this. I was glad to see him the last time I shot at the Pistoleros. Prayers for the family. Quote
Dantankerous Posted February 24 Posted February 24 (edited) Major Art Tillery aka Travis Cady left this world on January 13, 2025 at the age of 44. He was not only Classic Cowboy through and through but cowboy in life. Some of Major's SASS accomplishments were Classic Cowboy of the year in 2018, member of the Magnificent 7, Territorial Governor, Regulator, and founder of the Classic Cowboy showdown. Major Art Tillery was the kind of friend that makes everything in your own life better; the matches more exciting, the road trips smoother, the jokes funnier, planning the next adventure more exciting. His dedication to what he loved and whom he loved was second to none. Major could run a Henry 1860 better than anyone I have seen and that takes dedication. He loved the Henry 1860 and had made that his main match choice. Major was very proud of this. Honest, trustworthy, humble, hard working, principled, caring and selfless are all accurate descriptions of him in addition to him being a fun and fierce competitor in cowboy action. Knowing him and being able to share time and life with him was indeed priceless. He was a friend to all. He was loved by many and his passing leaves a void in the hearts of those who called him family and friend. Rest in Peace, brother. Until we get to ride together again...

Mogollon Munk,SASS#303 Posted 14 hours ago Posted 14 hours ago I will miss Reggie. I hope his recipe for "Apple Pie" didn't leave with him. Lots of happy memories with him, Art Crofutt, at the early EOTs at Coto De Casa. Via con Dios, compadre Quote
