"The Grizz"
Bryan,
Wow where to begin, you were born on March 22, 1990. Momma wieghed 2oo lbs and thought you would
never arrive!!! You were the best baby that a mom could ever ask for, you slept all night at 2 weeks
old, Justin did not sleep all night until he was 4!!!! Then you turned "2". Hang onto your hat!!!
you were so independant and so ornery!!! It was about the time everyone decide that a good ol'
whoopin wasn't right and that time out's were the new thing! They did not know you!!! To put you in
a time out I practically had to sit on you. You would get into trouble and say just spank me, but
please don't ground me! You were always on the go and you would not take NO for an answer.
We moved to Casa Grande, Arizona when you were 3 and you were a little desert rat. When you were in
kindergarten, your Grandpa Larry came down to announce a rodeo. You told the school that you were
supposed to ride the bus home that day instead of riding the bus to Aunt Dawns. You then got on your
little bicycle that had 2 flat tires and rode about 3 miles through the desert, on the runway of the
airport just to see Grandpa! However when you got there he was gone. You found a nice lady and asked
her" Do you know my Grandpa he is the Rodeo Announcer, I think I might be in a world of trouble".
What you did not know was that everyone was out looking for you and when we finally saw you all we
could do was hug you because you were safe! You started out playing T-Ball and went all through
little league in Arizona. We moved back to Colorado when you were in the 5th grade. You and Justin
were so excited to be in the mountains, you were now our Mountain Man. You fell in love with hunting
and antler hunting, we have so many of those wonderfull antlers I used to compaine about now to
remember you by. You excelled in Baseball and made the all-star team 3 years in a row. You were an
awsome second baseman. About that time, your dad started judging rodeos in Ignacio, you and Justin
both wanted to ride steers, well you were getting hung up and stepped on pretty regularly and
decided that might not be for you, however Justin never stopped and is still going strong. You
however, decided that it might be fun to become a bullfighter instead. You started bugging Jube and
Ryan every weekend to tell you about bull fighting, and they did. They were your hero's. Then you
went with Grandpa to a rodeo and met Travis Anderson who was bullfighting for Buster Webb and told
him you wanted to be a bullfight, Travis gave you his old equipment and it was all over. The only
problem was that you were only 16, and no contractor wanted to hire you because of your age and you
were just starting out. But there was one willing to take you all over the four corners and the was
your Uncle Mark Sanchez. How he loved you so much, that is who gave you your start and a chance to
become a very caring and loving young man. You loved the Lord and Crossroads Rodeo Company. You
fought in the summer in Pagosa with Gusse, and that is where you really learned you tecnique, he
thought he was too hard on you but you learned a great deal from him and his loving Family. There we
met the Conaty's, or should I say that we reconnected with them, your Dad rodeoed with Robbie and
knew Kim, boy did they love you. Little Chancie became your shadow the summer you worked on the
ranch and you bugged the heck out of Baily . Remember the scuffed up face? Trying to be a trick
rider!!!
Your intrest in school however, was for the social interaction!!! Your senior year you attended
REACH. Not only did you attend but so did Andy, Dan, and TJ and Dakota, boy did Mandy and Irene have
their hands full. The four Muskateers. Oh yeah and Justin went there too, the fights you two had
over wearing your seatbelt to school.
You were so busy the last 3 years, rodeoing, and hanging out with the boys, Frank, Jessie, Toby,
Billy, Justin and the Alburquerque bunch! You loved going to Rennies and playing pool and just
hanging out with her Anna and Erin. You would POP over to Cheryl and Keiths for some Butterfinger
hot chocolate and to sleep after an early morning of antler hunting. You would POP over to Aunt
Hanne's and Uncle Ed's for some supper. You would go by Grandma Howlett's to see if she was OK. OH
yeah and don't forget the countless Christmases with Grandma Mams and Grandpa playing greedy,greedy.
The year of 2007 was a busy one for you, you bullfought for Mark all summer, went to Wickenburg
where you met some wonderfull people, you bullfough for Casper Baca during the winter series, and
then you decided that to make any money you needed to go Pro. So....You found Two Bulls Bullfighting
Acadamy,in Miami Oklahoma. You and Billy were all set to go and guess what? Billy missed his plane,
and you went by yourself. That was in December, we were worried about you being out there by
yourself, but not to worry, Jim McClaine and Allen Nelson, took good care of you, and there you met
Aaron, what a great guy, he took you back to Tulsa with him because you were going to fly out the
same day as him....but Mother Nature had other plans. The ice storm of the century hit Oklahoma and
Tulsa was right in the middle of it. You two were stranded without electricity, and the Airport shut
down. But the two of you would not be held back in the car you went and slipped off to see what you
could see. Helping some eldery lady get a tree off her car,and not taking any money. What two great
young men. And meeting Aaron you made a friend that will be forever with us. You were so excited
about being pro and Jason Knott had been fighting with you that summer. What an impact he made on
your life, and you made on his. You two decided that you would bullfight in the Two Bulls
Bullfighting in Texarkana in March.Jason payed the entry fees, but that would not happen. On January
27, 2008 you left this world and went to be with your Lord! There are still day's that I don't
belive it's really true. I can't believe it's been 10 months. Bryan you touched so many lives and I
miss you so much. Everyday something or someone reminds me of you and our loss. I know you are in a
better place, I know how much you loved the Lord, and that your last weekend here on earth was with
Tilt and the Hodson's and all of your rodeo family. That gives me some comfort, knowing that you a
Toby had a good weekend. I will never ever forget our drive home that night, it was snowing so hard,
you just said " Madre your doing good, just stay by the outside line." I remember your hug and your
smile. But sometimes it seems as if it is fading. Thank GOD for Henry and Hilda Nakai, for all of
the great rodeo pictures they took of you so that we can have them to remember you by. And all of
your friends who took countless pictures of you that summer. To all of you "Young Men and Women"
don't ever quit taking pictures, thank you all who shared your pictures of Bryan with us. He Loved
each and every one of you! I know that I forgot to name alot of Kids that were great friends to
Bryan but you all know who you are and we love you all so much. Bryan Roper Howlett, we your family
Love and Miss you so much, but you will never be forgotten in our hearts and in our lives.
Love always,
Mom, Dad, Justin,Grandma Mams,and Grandpa and Grandma Howlett, and all of your Aunts, Uncles,
Cousins and friends!
Hey Bry,
Makayla is a firefighter now. Wished you could have been here to see her graduate as Valedictorian of her class. I know you were present but it would have been great to have you with us. I sure miss you kid! The holidays just aren't that much fun anymore. The new cross your Uncle Ed and Aunt Hanna put up is pretty neat isn't it. I can't wait until its all done. Grandma sent you a pretty light to keep you company. I love you Bryan Roper and I miss you more than anyone will ever know. You keep an eye out for us ok. Talk to you later sweetie.
Love Aunt Nikki

The days go by in such a blur,
Oh I wish that you were here.

Days turn into months..
Months turn into years..
I still love you with all my heart..
And only wish we never had to part.
︽☆︽ ︽♥︽ ︽☆︽ ︽♥︽ ︽☆︽ ︽♥︽ ︽☆︽ ︽♥︽ ︽☆︽
It's Sunday again and there is not a sound,
Theres not even many people walking around.
For Sunday you see is a day of rest..
You should know my angel..
Because you are the best.
︽☆︽ ︽♥︽ ︽☆︽ ︽♥︽ ︽☆︽ ︽♥︽ ︽☆︽ ︽♥︽ ︽☆︽

"Give Me Peace" By Lea Dyer Snow
Lord, in this hour I need you, more than words could ever tell.
I feel as if I'm stranded on shores between heaven and hell...
I know you haven't left me, yet my heart feels void of hope.
I feel as if I'm hanging on an old and thread worn rope...
I feel as if my hearts been torn from the breast from which it came.
And sunshine will no longer fill my life, only clouds of darkness and rain...
I know this will pass,
and you will be there to give me comfort and strength and hope.
But until then I can't help the feeling that I'm down to that last thread of rope...
If it breaks, you'll be there to catch me, and raise me back to my feet...
But for now my world is in turmoil, and the essence of life is not sweet...
Give me power to overcome my oppression, and let sunshine back on my face.
Let your spirit overwhelm my cold dark heart,
and let me bask in your warmth giving grace...
Give rest to my tempest of yearning, and faith to my sore lacking soul.
Let me again laugh with my family. Rescue me from this pit in Sheol.
With praise I do worship your blessings, with humility, I ask my release.
From this den of despair I ask mercy...show favour on me...give me peace.
LOVE JUDE. X
