Denim Bradshaw, the adolescent who passed away after being thrown off a bull, is characterized as hilarious and fearless by a family friend.
“His smile went from one side to the other and he would always have a smile on his face. You could never tell what he was really feeling because he just always looked happy,” said Jessica Pitt.
Bradshaw is only down the street from Pitt and her family. She claimed he was eager to participate in the bull riding competition.
“My husband actually texted him at 6:30 and wished him good luck and told him we would be there to watch him next time and unfortunately we won’t be able to do that,” said Pitt.
Last Saturday, the incident took place at the Rafter K Rodeo.
The 14-year-old, according to rodeo attendees, was bucked from the bull. The bull trampled on his chest as soon as he came to rest on the arena floor. He allegedly experienced a heart arrest and passed away at the hospital.
Pitt said, “Everything just stopped and I’m extremely fortunate that my husband was there because I just kind of came apart,” when she learned of the accident.

“He did not miss a rodeo it was a way of life for their whole community that’s what you do on Saturdays,” said Pitt.
Pitt’s daughter and close friends were heartbroken by Bradshaw’s passing.
“Her brother is gone no need to share blood. They’re thick as can be, thick as thieves,” said Pitt.
A Facebook from Shannon Bowman’s Facebook account remarked, “ Last night was the longest night of my life!! My beautiful handsome 14 year old son had went to be with the lord! I awoke in a nightmare for the rest of my life!
I hate myself for this call but he was loving every second of it I never seen him so happy as I had seen him last night before his departure.

In his honor, loved ones released balloons with the promise never to forget the happiness he brought.
“He will be missed, and you can see that the school is a little quieter and the world is a little darker without him,” said Pitt.
