Troy Ashford is navigating life after the loss of his 18-year-old son, Ace, who died in a cowboying accident last August. Along the way, Ashford has found purpose in giving back, and that brings us to the purpose of this episode: to tell you about the charity auction for the Live Like Ace Foundation, the Golden Circle of Champions and the World Youth Team Roping Championship at the 2025 Bob Feist Invitational Cowboy Auction.

The 2025 Bob Feist Invitational Cowboy Auction will this year play host to a special charity sale of a John Deere Gator, donated by Wesley Thorp. The Gator’s proceeds will go toward the Live Like Ace Foundation, the Golden Circle of Champions and the WYTRC, and in this episode, Ashford talks about what that donation means to his entire family.
