PENDLETON, OREGON — Our father, Don Porter Silcocks, died on Sept. 26, 2022, a day shy of his 92nd birthday. He was a cowboy first and supported himself and his family as a real estate agent until he retired at the young age of 81. Don’s passion was team roping, which he pursued at every opportunity. His proudest cowboy moment was winning the Wickenburg, Arizona, team roping championship. He embodied the idea of “never quit” and passed this legacy on to his children. He never met a stranger he didn’t like and rarely forgot a name. He leaves behind his loving wife, Sharon; his four living children; five step-children; 12 grandchildren, nine great-grandchildren and one great great-grandchild. He will remain in our hearts as one of the last true cowboys. May he rest in peace with our Heavenly Father. lakefuneralhomeandcremation.com. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests that any memorial contributions be sent to the Mission Valley Animal Shelter.
Arrangements are under the care of The Lake Funeral Home and Crematory.
