Loading

    Funeral services were held Monday morning at the Garden County Fairgrounds Arena in Lewellen for an Oshkosh man who was killed, along with his horse, by a lightning strike last Wednesday, June 21, north of Oshkosh.

     27-year old Terrel Vineyard was a 3-time qualifier for the World Series of Team Roping in Las Vegas.

      Garden County authorities say Vineyard was riding his horse, Dose, when they were struck by the lightning. Both were pronounced dead at the scene.

      Vineyard was a newlywed, having married his wife Stacey in February, but they already had  3 daughters. 

       A memorial account has been created for the Vineyards at the Nebraska State Bank in Oshkosh and a GoFundMe account has also been established to assist the family.
