He was a cowboy’s cowboy. His influence on the sport went beyond his competition successes. He inspired and mentored countless younger athletes, including his son, Tuf Cooper. In fact, we were fortunate to document Tuf’s rise in a feature we ran back in December of 2020 — a snapshot of a family legacy in full swing As Tuf continues to carve out his legacy in the sport he carries the lessons and spirit of his father with him “It is with great sadness that our family shares the passing of our Dad Roy Cooper,” Tuf posted on Facebook shortly after the news broke “We’re all in shock and at a loss for words from this tragedy at the moment.” The statement captures the overwhelming grief felt by those closest to Roy but it also reflects a deep sense of pride in a man whose life was defined by humility and unwavering dedication where his natural talent for roping began to take shape pushing through to become a competitor at the highest level His journey from a determined young cowboy to a Hall of Famer is the stuff of rodeo legend and an unshakeable commitment to his craft His humility was as legendary as his roping skills He was a man who didn’t seek the spotlight but instead let his actions speak for themselves I’m just Roy,” he said in a February 2020 interview on Let’s Freakin Rodeo embodying the modesty that made him beloved by those who knew him In addition to his incredible success on the rodeo circuit with Tuf continuing his father’s legacy as one of the sport's top stars The Cooper family also played an integral role in founding the Cooper Rodeo Foundation an organization that supports young people pursuing a rodeo career Roy Cooper’s influence extends far beyond his individual titles His influence shaped rodeo in ways that will endure for years to come And though we mourn the loss of one of the greatest cowboys to ever ride into an arena we take solace in the legacy he leaves behind — one that will continue to inspire and shape the future of the sport “We’re all in shock,” but Roy’s legacy is one that will never be forgotten His life was a testament to the power of passion but "The Super Looper" will never be forgotten Stephen Montoya is the Digital Editor for Fort Worth Magazine Sign-up for Fort Worth Magazine's newsletters to stay up to date with what is happening around town Utah — For the third time in just over 2 weeks a pedestrian attempting to cross a street in Roy has been struck by a vehicle All three pedestrians who were hit were in crosswalks at the time of their incidents a woman was crossing 1900 West 4400 South when she was hit by a driver turning left The woman suffered some abrasions and was taken to the hospital for evaluation Police said the man driving the vehicle remained on the scene after the incident 11-year-old hospitalized after being hit by car while riding scooter: The accident occurred at the same location and crosswalk where an 11-year-old boy riding a scooter was hit by a vehicle on April 16 where he was originally in a coma but has since regained consciousness and is not longer in ICU Earlier this week, a 77-year-old woman was crossing at a different location in Roy when she was hit by a car that fled the scene turned himself in on Thursday and was arrested for leaving the scene of a crime The rodeo community mourns the death of The Super Looper The ProRodeo Hall of Famer was 69 years old All content © copyright The Cowboy Channel Do Not Sell My Personal Information May 1 (UPI) -- Rodeo Hall-of-Famer Roy Cooper died in his North Texas home that was engulfed in a fire Tuesday evening "Wise County EMS Rescue-1 and Decatur Fire Department arrived on the scene approximately seven minutes [later] and observed a single-family residence heavily involved in fire," Wise County Fire Marshal Jeff Doughty said Wednesday in a press release Cooper's body was found inside the residence after firefighters extinguished the flames Cooper was known by rodeo fans as "Super Looper" and won eight world championships during his rodeo career including the all-around championship in 1983 His career championships include six for tie-down roping titles and one for steer-roping Cooper also won the "triple crown" of professional rodeo in 1983 by winning three gold buckles making him one of only 10 to win three world titles in the same year The Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association named Cooper its Rookie of the Year in 1976 He was inducted into the inaugural class of the PRORODEO Hall of Fame three years later in 1979 Among his fans is country music legend George Strait who lamented Cooper's death in a social media post made on Wednesday "We lost our good friend and my hero Roy Cooper yesterday," Strait said in a post on X "He's with our Lord And Savior Jesus Christ now," Strait continued "God please be with the Cooper family and friends He said there is only one way he would remove it "I would give it to George Strait if he would wear it," Cooper said "I would because he's one of my very best friends." Cooper said he met Strait shortly after winning a rodeo event and before winning the rodeo triple crown in 1983 Cooper hosted a junior world roping championship held every July 4 weekend He also attended rodeo competitions in which his sons Tuf is a four-time PRCA World Champion with three titles for tie-down roping and an all-around title in 2017 Clint and Clif all qualified for the National Finals Rodeo in the same year," Cooper said Tuf confirmed his father's death in a social media post on Wednesday "It is with great sadness that our family shares the passing of our dad "We're all in shock and at a loss for words from this tragedy at the moment."

For a snack, I had frozen yogurt with berries, plus some Cara Cara oranges from the farmers’ market. These were from K & K Ranch And then I had leftover yellow rice from the Persian restaurant I made a kind of Mediterranean stir-fry at home for breakfast It was a little bit of leftovers and a lot of stuff I already had in the kitchen: spinach It was a lot of different flavors and good nutrients and when I add those charred flavors on top I don’t miss a lot of the less healthy flavors I might have added in the past Now this is where people are going to maybe start making fun of me because there’s a lot of trail mix this week I used to make fun of people for eating trail mix I had some before we stopped on the way at a Vietnamese place for vermicelli salad in La Quinta I had some dried pineapple as a kind of dessert I’d already been immersed in the heat and the crowds and they take really good care of everyone working there — they go above and beyond and treat it like family meal in a restaurant I used to be a huge coffee head — like in any city a lot of my old homies are going to be rolling their eyes They did have a big freezer full of Popsicles so I had more of those — changed it up and did a Fudgsicle — while I tasted our food and ate catering throughout the day Working at the festival is a little like working in the restaurant: You’re working and watching the different stages when you get a chance kind of like stepping out into the dining room to meet a friend or greet someone we had the great fortune to cater Green Day I didn’t even know Green Day knew who the fuck we were and it was really cool to see how they take care of their whole crew They felt like kindred spirits with our small operation and we take care of one another; everyone’s been with us for over a decade sliders — making sure everything was on point There are a couple of really great no-sodium granolas They’re using a lot of coconut to substitute for the sweetness which is another thing I’ve learned has zero sodium I picked up a green juice on the way to the airport I could travel around Europe for three months with one backpack nothing exciting — and I got into New York at 1 a.m The funny thing about your city now is everything closes early we had to do the unthinkable and ask the concierge for a recommendation and the concierge sent us to a bar around the corner that was surprisingly good I had a Cobb salad with chicken and then a 70 percent dark chocolate go to Frankies right now and get the green salad I thought it was going to be like a charred whole broccoli I have never had gnocchi done this well before We got back to the hotel, reset for 15 minutes, and took a 90-minute drive to a bookstore called Bookends in Ridgewood It was a great day-zero event for the book tour We slid it in at the last minute because we had some time in New York A lot of people came out; it was super-chill and filled with love From there, we went back to the city. My co-author, Natasha Phan, is an expert on TikTok food. She had been seeing this crab-roe soup over rice. It’s at Xie Bao and the outside of the restaurant just said “crab place.” They mix the roe of the crab with the meat into this cornstarchy … it’s almost like a chowder It has the consistency of bird’s-nest soup or mapo tofu the way it’s poured over the rice I hadn’t yet tested the waters of trying my new kind of diet in an Asian restaurant so I know how treacherous it can be to ask for sauce on the side or do what I did and order halibut with no salt and I’m happy it was being documented for New York Magazine because it was everything I expected our server had to write down an essay on her notepad explaining very carefully why we wanted sauce on the side and no salt in very intricate terms because she didn’t want to get yelled at by the chef And she couldn’t write one general note: She wrote this essay three times and then the food came out salted and sauced anyway and I think the lack of attention to the request is the utmost form of respect We were staying in midtown because we wanted to be as close as possible in case we woke up late but then they sent a car so we could have stayed anywhere It was such an early morning we went back to the hotel to rest I had a kale-and-quinoa salad with a side of salmon and asparagus Everybody looks like the coolest kid in town; it looks like fucking Paris Fashion Week in there It had the consistency of a creamy soft serve It was dense and thick but didn’t feel heavy By submitting your email, you agree to our Terms and Privacy Notice and to receive email correspondence from us Kendra Santos is a Cowgirl Hall of Fame member known for perfectly summing up rodeo athletes and the groundbreaking moments that come with them she says it is impossible to put it all into words “It’s impossible to describe that huge heart that beat in that champion’s chest of his The first time I ever saw Roy Cooper do his thing was at the Cow Palace in San Francisco in 1976 it was like ‘What was that?’ And I was talking about Roy Cooper Santos remembers Cooper doing things that nobody had done including his trip to Oklahoma City as a Rookie he’s a Mount Rushmore of calf roping person You can’t measure the impact he’s had on all future generations,” she said Conversations and a friendship with Cooper are two things that Santos always cherishes there’s no one else like him or ever will be,” she said The funeral service for Roy Bishop will be livestreamed for those unable to attend Please click  HERE  for the link It is with great sadness that the family of Roy Bishop announces his passing at the age of 95 on May 1 He was predeceased by his parents Marion and Harold Leaving to mourn are his daughters Jennifer (Don) Marina (Ed) and Cathy (Craig); his grandchildren Zachary (Colette) and Jonas (Hillary); his great grandchildren Piper and Troy; as well as a large circle of family and friends care and compassion never went unnoticed and will never be forgotten He also loved a good game of Spades and going for a drive (maybe to enjoy an ice-cream) He will be remembered for his great sense of humor Visitation will be held at Carnell’s Funeral Home a donation in Roy’s name may be made to a charity of one’s choice This site uses Akismet to reduce spam.
