At the time of his death, he was employed by SMD (Small Mine Development).

Kenny's family was very important to him. His fiance Kelly and son, Jason, were the lights in his heart and while he was a man of few words, his family knew he cared deeply for them. In his free time, he taught Jason mechanics, horseback riding and the elements of being a good man. Kenny provided a good life for Kelly and Jason, he was most content when he was with them, and they all expected many years of being together as a happy family.

His parents and siblings were often the targets of his practical jokes, but they learned from him and felt his affection. His mother described Kenny as a wonderful son, brother and friend.

Kenny enjoyed hunting, fishing, horseback riding, being with his friends and enjoying the outdoors. He was a man of integrity and he had no use for someone who wouldn't keep his word. He was a lifelong friend to many, and those closest to him described him as having his priorities straight, as pushing friends to the limit, and "he wasn't the sweetest person to put a smile on your face but he got the job done." His co-workers commented that Kenny had a great sense of humor, was a practical joker, a hard worker and reliable.

And everyone knew Kenny loved Kelly and Jason. "To my Daddy, wherever you are, I bet He made you into a star."

Kenny was preceded in death by his brother, Jason Barbosa, his maternal grandparents, Bob and Doris Rhodes, his fraternal grandmother, Maria Barbosa, and just two years ago, his father Pablo Barbosa.

MR. CHRISTOPHER M. BISHOP

Christopher Michael Bishop Nov. 3, 1967 - Sept. 4, 2007 Christopher was born in Winnemucca on Nov. 3, 1967, to Pete and Angie Bishop. He graduated from Lowry in 1986, where he played football, wrestled and was the 1986 state champion in the hurdles.

After high school, he entered the Navy “nuke” school and served on the submarine Chicago from 1989 to 1993.

After the Navy, he worked for UPS from 1993 until 2004, when ACS put an end to his career, but not to his spirit.

Chris was a generous, caring man who loved the simple pleasures of life: the comfort of his children and family, the company of friends, his “guardian angel,” good fishing, camping trips, starlit nights, the joys of nature, the quiet just before sunrise, wide open ranges, a good meal and a good laugh.

In a gentle way, Chris always gave openly to everyone - his engaging smile, the twinkle of his eyes, his sense of humor, his unconditional love. He was an inspiration in the face of adversity; he was courageous; he had a deep sense of honor and duty to God, family, friends and country.

Chris never grappled with the why or wherefores of life’s challenges. Instead, his unwavering faith in God allowed him the opportunity to give comfort, hope and understanding to everyone around him. Chris was not defeated by ACS. Instead, he was grateful for the time the disease gave him to let the people he loved know that he loved them and for the precious time together.

A quote that he especially liked: “The true meaning of life is to plant trees, under whose shade you do not expect to sit.” Chris’s happy, kind and unselfish spirit helps fill the void of his absence. He leaves a beautiful legacy.

Chris is survived by his sons Matthew (16) and Lam (9); his daughter Lyra (7); his mother Angie Bishop; his father Pete Bishop (Poison, Mont.); his maternal grandmother, Marie Heres Aloud (Pans, France); his sister Heres Williams (Matt) and his nieces, Ala and Gabrielle, and nephews, Matthew and Dominic (Reno); his guardian angel, Dawn Rise Ekdahl; several aunts, uncles and cousins; and his special group of friends.

MR. FLOYD "BUCK" BRADSHAW

Floyd "Buck" Bradshaw, 77, passed away Sept. 26, 2008, after a long battle with illness.

He was born on Feb. 16, 1931, in Parowan, Utah, to Ona and Rufus Bradshaw. Buck was a nickname given to him by his father when he was a young boy and was known to his friends and family from then on as Buck.

Buck grew up in Delamar and Pioche where he rode the rodeo circuit throughout his young adulthood riding bareback broncs. Money won from one of his rides paid for a high-chair for his first son, Michael. To make a living, Buck worked in the mining industry in various small Nevada towns. In 1952 he went into the United States army as a Corporal and served in Germany during the Korean War. He was honorably discharged in 1954.

He met his wife, Carolyn Eddards, in Pioche in 1951 and married her on July 30, 1952. While he was in the hospital this year, Buck and Carolyn celebrated their 56th wedding anniversary.

The couple made their first home in Tempiute and had four children; Michael, Leslie, Brent and Dave. Buck continued to work in the mining industry in Tempiute, and later in Mexican Hat, Utah. After moving to Carlin and Mt. Pass, Calif, the family eventually made their way to Winnemucca in 1981 where Buck took a mining job at Pinson as a mill foreman. He eventually moved up the ranks until he became mill superintendent. Buck retired from Pinson in 1997 at the age of 66.

Throughout his life, Buck enjoyed fishing, hunting and camping with his family. He and Carolyn began going to Jack Creek in 1965 and eventually turned the annual camping trip into an unofficial family reunion. He owned at least one horse for his entire life up until a few years before his death, when health problems made it difficult to care for one. He got his first horse when he was young by catching a wild one and breaking it himself.

MR. THEODORE BROWN

Legendary Humboldt County Buckaroo and Tribal Elder Theodore Brown Dies at 91.
Theodore Brown died peacefully at Renown Medical Center in Reno on Sunday, June 29, 2008. He was born in Paradise Valley on Oct. 15, 1916. His parents worked for the William Stock Farming Company, now widely known as Stewart's Ninety-Six Ranch. Theodore was born in a small house behind the old main house on the ranch.

He learned to ride as a young boy, and moved to Owyhee with his family as a small child. There he spent his boyhood, riding, roping and breaking horses. As a young man, he returned to the Ninety-Six Ranch. Records indicate that he began working full-time for the ranch as a buckaroo in 1931, enjoying the company of fellow native riders like his uncle, Albert Skedaddle. Fredrick B. Stewart, who managed the Ninety-Six until his death in 1959, often said that Theodore was at home in the saddle, and that he was the most naturally talented man with a rope that he'd ever seen. Theodore spent most of his time out on the range of the Martin Creek drainage as well as out on the Owyhee desert. There wasn't an inch of this territory that he didn't ride, and most of it, hundreds of times. His boss and lifelong friend Les Stewart often remembered his 45+ years of working with Theodore. He wrote the following about his old friend in 2005.

"He was a very quiet man. A calm man, who knew who he was and how he wanted to live. He was confident in his abilities without ever having to boast. Everyone just knew that Theodore would get the job done, no question about it. He was our top man to stay out with the cattle all summer. He had a small Indian crew, and they did a good job. I remember going out to bring them supplies and check on them, and Theodore was usually the camp cook too. He was a darn good cook. You wouldn't guess it, but he cooked up some pretty elaborate meals for his men out there. He was definitely a man of few words. I imagine if you tried, you could almost count all the words that Theodore said in all those years on the ranch. It wasn't that he was unfriendly, he was just real comfortable with quiet. While he was out on the allotment with cattle, his day started well before dawn, with breakfast and wrangling horses, then riding all day, and back to camp at night to cook supper and get to bed."

Theodore enjoyed taking in everything that was around him and he rode enough to take in plenty. From Paradise Valley, East to the Snowstorms, north to Calico Mountain and Eight Mile, and throughout the Santa Rosa range he rode on average of over 15 miles a day, 230+ days a year. In his 45+ years riding for the Ninety-Six Ranch, it is estimated that Theodore logged over 148,500 miles in the saddle. He wore oat more than 40 good horses in his long career on the ranch. In addition, he worked cattle in corrals with the best around. His slow and easy work with a rope was like watching a great artist. Theodore was the standard of what a buckaroo ought to look like and work like. He was consistent, calm and deadly accurate in his work. Whether it was gathering cattle or working them inside, Theodore knew his work and he was an expert at it. He was a master with his tools, a horse and a rope. He let good horses do what they do best, and he just guided them along and worked his magic with the lass rope. The cameras of the Library of Congress captured some of Theodore's best close-work back in 1979 when he was 63 years old as part of the "Buckaroos in Paradise" project.

Theodore married his beloved wife Eva in the early 1940s and together they had two daughters, Elizabeth and Charlotte. He also had two stepdaughters, Jeanette Dick of Winnemucca and Gloria Gentry of California. The family generally lived separately throughout much of the year while Theodore worked at the Ninety-Six. The family usually came over on Sundays to visit and when possible, Theodore would travel over to McDermitt to see them on days off or during the less hectic winter months. Theodora retired from the ranch in 1979 and moved home to McDermitt and Eva. Eva passed away in 1989.

In recent years, Theodore made his home with daughter Charlotte, granddaughter Marlene and her partner Rory. He is survived by his daughters, their families and many friends and relations.

Brown was highly respected within the Ranching and Native American communities. He was revered as an elder among his native community.and participated in tribal functions whenever possible. He was a talented singer and passed along many old native songs and stories to Rory and the rest of his family and friends. His knowledge of Paiute language, customs, stories and songs was widely known and appreciated. He also represented the very best of the old-time buckaroos, skilled, hard working and trustworthy. He was inducted into the Buckaroo Hall of Fame in 2006.

Viewing was held Friday, July 4, at the Assembly of God Church in McDermitt. Funeral services were Saturday, July 5, at the McDermit Tribal Center, followed by interment at the McDermitt Cemetery.

Arrangements made by Albertson Funeral Home.
