A Cowboy’s Halo

Memorial Fund & Ranch Rodeo In Honor Of Jace Layman

Jace had just turned 20 and was chasing his dreams of being a cowboy.

Jace was working in the branding pen at the Padlock Ranch in Wyoming on June 22nd, 2023 when he collapsed and was unable to be resuscitated. His family has founded this memorial fund and annual Ranch Rodeo to honor his memory.

Paying it forward is something this young man was raised on. Each of your donations, big or small, will go directly into the fund which will then be put towards hosting the annual ranch rodeo as well as scholarships for young folks needing a hand up into the working western lifestyle.
