When the legendary Lane Frost was killed in a 1989 bull riding accident at the Cheyenne Frontier Days, his wife Kellie’s Christian faith was put to the test.
During the past two decades, she has bounced back from the tragedy. In 1993, she married Mike Macy, who competed in team roping/heading twice at the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas.

Today, they have two children who are prize-winning youth rodeo competitors, and the family enjoys life on a ranch near Post.
Last week, their 16-year-old son, Aaron, competed in team roping at the Texas High School Rodeo Association Finals in Abilene. He qualified after winning in THSRA’s Region I, which covers the Lubbock and Amarillo areas.
Aaron Macy, a header, and his partner, Landon Williams of Midland, finished sixth in the second round after turning in a time of 5.940 seconds in the six-day rodeo that concluded Saturday night.

Earlier this month, Mike and Kellie Macy’s daughter, Brogan, 13, finished fifth in barrel racing at the Texas Junior High School Rodeo Finals in Gonzales.
“It just brings me great joy,” Kellie Macy said. “Rodeo is a big family of people who love to see their kids succeed.”
When her first husband won the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association world bull riding title in 1987, they were a young couple who were living their dreams. Residing in Quanah at the time, Lane Frost frequently competed in rodeos throughout the state.
But in 1989, Frost was killed by a bull that he had just ridden for prize money on the final day of the Cheyenne rodeo, the sport’s equivalent of a Wimbledon stage. His story is portrayed in the movie “8 Seconds.”
After Frost’s death, Kellie Macy went through a grieving process and said she relied on her faith to pull her through. She said she’s learned to trust God, who has provided a meaningful relationship with her second husband, Mike, and their family.

Now 46, Kellie Macy lives on a massive West Texas ranch that’s been in Mike Macy’s family for more than a century.
“God has a totally different plan that never totally turns out the way we think that it’s going to,” Kellie Macy said. “But it’s totally amazing. It’s 100 times greater than you could ever imagine.”

Brazile, an Amarillo native who lives in Decatur, won the tie-down roping and all-around titles at the Mesquite ProRodeo Series and snared the steer roping title in Garden City, Kan. In last week’s PRCA world all-around standings, Brazile’s earnings of $122,154 were nearly $12,000 ahead of last year’s pace when he set a single-season money record.
