“Don Gay talked to Larry Mahan & his girls around 9:30 tonight. He is home from the hospital and in hospice care. We are praying for comfort in his transition to complete healing. He is still fighting hard and surrounded by much love and prayers.
Tenn Texas Radio Prayer Warriors, you all are so special. Thank You for your unwavering faithfulness and prayer for our 🤠 King of Cowboys, Larry Mahan; you are the best and so appreciated.
Rumors say Larry Mahan has passed away, but it is NOT TRUE he is alive! Mr. Mahan has battled for over 3 yrs with bone marrow cancer and is home with his daughters transitioning into the arms of Jesus. Please keep his family in your prayers through this transition.”
At the age of 14, he started competing in professional rodeo. In 1963, he began competing in the Rodeo Cowboys Association (RCA).
He was the first rider to participate in three NFR events in a single year. He competed and frequently won in saddle bronc riding, bareback riding, and bull riding in the RCA.
In 1965, he was the highest-paid bull rider, and in 1967, he became the first to win more than $50,000 in a single season. He brought in more than $280,000 in 1970. Despite winning the all-around championship in 1973, he had a challenging decade in the 1970s due to injuries.
