Tripper Rice, the son of Paul and Cindy Rice of Pendleton, Oregon was living in Midland, Texas when he was killed in a car accident. Tripper was a horse trainer, horse shoer and an avid roper. Tripper had a can-do attitude and was always there to lend a hand, whether stacking hay or working cattle. He liked to have fun first and worry about everything else later. He had a wonderful spirit and was a friend to everybody. Tripper was an Oregon High School Team Roping Champion and a member of the Wrangler All-Star Team. He also competed at the National High School Rodeo Finals all four years. Tripper won many awards at rodeos and team roping events through the years.
