December 14, 2022 Micheal Erritt was killed in a horrible accident involving a skid loader. He was climbing out when the loader hydraulics caused the bucket to go down. Mike has 3 kids and 2 step-kids. I knew Mike because he was a 4H Horse project leader for several years while Jayden was involved. He was a very kind man and quiet. His girls were outgoing barrel racers. His oldest daughter Alexa was much older than Jayden in 4H. Eventually Payton came along and was a couple years younger in 4H and ran really fast horses. She was very competitive in the youth rodeo and NBHA horse shows. Kyleigh was also very competitive and was the same age as Jake. Drake the son, I never really knew, did some bull riding. One summer, 2016 I traveled to the 4th of July rodeos in Leon and Bloomfield in a convoy with Mike and Dave N and our big horse trailers. These two Dad's were hauling with their daughters and were there if I needed anything. It was my very first year driving the big Bloomer and I was nervous. They helped me out with parking and always holding down a spot for me. It was a fun weekend and the girls had a blast. I am sad for the Erritt family and cannot imagine the loss they are feeling.
