Bobbie Ray was born January 23rd, 1953, in Belton, TX, to Bobby Leverne and Jean Reveile Ward. He was a Texas cowboy all his life, he rode, bucked, shoed, trained, doctored, and even hooked up a wagon a few times. He was full of good ole cowboy stories and never once met a stranger. He worked for several ranches in his lifetime and countless rodeos and roping. The cowboy life was in his blood and honored in 2014, when he was inducted to the Bell County Cowboy Hall of Fame. Old westerns on TV were a favorite pastime of his, he probably never believed he’d have the chance to be in one.
