March 2019 12 A COWBOY RESTS IN HEAVEN MASON LEE LOWE Mason Lee Lowe was born September 12, 1993, in Springfield, Missouri, the son of Stacy Lowe and Melissa Reed. He married Abbey Cooper on June 9, 2018, in Pilot Grove, Missouri. At the young age of three Mason’s father put him on dairy calves and he instantly fell in love with riding. He moved up to riding bulls and eventually made it into the PBR circuit. He loved to be a Cowboy and anything associated with being one. Mason and Abbey cherished the time they spent together with their dog Gator. Mason had a kind soul and a heart of gold, always willing to help anyone in need. He enjoyed spending time with his buddies, had an infectious smile and with his quick wit, was often the life of the party. Mason was injured the night of January 15th during the PBR Chute Out at the National Western Stock Show. As Lowe was riding a bull named Hard Times and tried to stay atop, he was pulled under the bull and the animal's left hind hoof struck his chest. Although he was wearing a protective vest, he suffered a massive chest injury and damage to his heart. He was taken to a hospital, where he died. Lowe was ranked 18th in the world. He had been a professional bull rider for seven years and so far, he had earned nearly $10,000 this season, according to the PBR website. Lowe's death is the second in PBR's 26-year history. Our heartfelt condolences and deepest sympathies go out to Mason's wife Abbey and to his family.
