“The rodeo world is a small one, and the bull riding world is even smaller. But within it, Dylan made a big impact,” another post said, adding that “we never imagined we’d get the call saying Dylan didn’t make it home at all”.
The team posted on Facebook that it was “heartbroken” to learn of his death, saying its thoughts and prayers were with Grant’s mother and father “during this unthinkable time”.
“Dylan was a champion of life inside and outside of the arena,” the team said.
It is with heavy hearts that we share the tragic news of the passing of Dylan Grant, a talented bull rider from Pavillion, Wyoming who lost his life competing Thursday night at the Wharton County Youth Fair’s PRCA Xtreme Bulls event in Texas.
Dylan was blessed as an athlete – a state champion from Jackson Hole High School and a proud University of Wyoming alumnus – but more than that, he was known for his kindness, compassion and big heart. His spirit touched everyone who knew him.
Our thoughts and deepest condolences go out to his family, friends, and everyone who had the honor of knowing Dylan.
