SILCOCKS, Don Porter


Wickenburg Sun (Wickenburg, Arizona) Wednesday, October 5, 2022, p. A-5 Don Silcocks Sept. 27, 1930 - Sept. 26, 2022 Our father, Don Porter Silcocks, died 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 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. His ashes will be spread in St. Ignatius, Mont.
