| Lloyd Shane White, 76, passed away on May 2, 2006. L loyd's life was that of a true Arizona Cowboy. Raised in the White Mountains at Fort Apache, his family's home was General Crooks Cabin, an Arizona Landmark and now a Museum. He left home at age 14 and became a Wrangler and Trail Guide at the Camelback Inn in the early 1940's and worked on many of the old Cow Ranches in the state. Lloyd wore many different hats in life, from punching cows, driving truck to business owner, farmer, rancher, developer, you name it Lloyd had done it all. But his true love other than family and wife "Dorothy", who he put to rest on their 40th wedding anniversary in 1991, was his horses. He had a keen eye for exceptional horse flesh and dedicated his life to raising, buying and selling quality horses for competition in roping, cutting and other equestrian events. His reputation was impeccable and he took great pride in the fact that many top Rodeo Hands rode his horses. He was a life member of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association and a fierce competitor in his day. A celebration of Lloyd's life will be held on Friday, May 5, 2006 11am, at 9870 E. Jenan Drive, Scottsdale. All friends are welcome. Lloyd is survived by 4 sons, Greg, Larry, Rusty and Brent White, 2 brothers, John and Charlie White, 2 sisters, Cheryl Willis and Sharon Smith, 8 grandchildren and 5 great-grandchildren. You might say that we all lost a big piece of Arizona History today for truly Lloyd, is a dying breed. You will be missed by all, whose lives you touched. Adios Cowboy and God Bless.
