Podle sv\u011bdk\u016f se incident stal na rozlehl\u00e9m tr\u00e9ninkov\u00e9m h\u0159i\u0161ti, kde Ace str\u00e1vil nespo\u010det hodin zdokonalov\u00e1n\u00edm sv\u00fdch dovednost\u00ed. Co za\u010dalo jako rutinn\u00ed tr\u00e9nink, se rychle zm\u011bnilo v katastrofu. Podle zpr\u00e1v jeho k\u016f\u0148, mo\u017en\u00e1 vyd\u011b\u0161en\u00fd nebo ztracen\u00fd rovnov\u00e1hu, t\u00e1hl Acea p\u0159es h\u0159i\u0161t\u011b d\u0159\u00edve, ne\u017e mohli zas\u00e1hnout kolemjdouc\u00ed.

P\u0159\u00e1tel\u00e9 a rodina popisovali Acea jako z\u00e1zra\u010dn\u00e9 d\u00edt\u011b v rodeov\u00e9 ar\u00e9n\u011b, n\u011bkoho, jeho\u017e v\u00e1\u0161e\u0148 pro lana\u0159en\u00ed a je\u017ed\u011bn\u00ed se vyrovnala pouze jeho pokor\u011b a laskavosti. \u201e\u017dil pro okam\u017eik, kdy se lano setkalo s teletem,\u201c \u0159ekl jeden m\u00edstn\u00ed mentor a bojoval se slzami. \u201eAle v\u00edc ne\u017e to, Ace m\u011bl srdce dostate\u010dn\u011b velk\u00e9 na to, aby pozvedl n\u00e1ladu v\u0161em kolem sebe. Ztr\u00e1ta jeho \u017eivota je jako ztr\u00e1ta \u010d\u00e1sti n\u00e1s sam\u00fdch.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aceova cesta za\u010dala v ran\u00e9m d\u011btstv\u00ed, kdy vyr\u016fstal mezi hospod\u00e1\u0159sk\u00fdmi zv\u00ed\u0159aty a nau\u010dil se jezdit na kon\u00edch je\u0161t\u011b d\u0159\u00edve, ne\u017e si um\u011bl zav\u00e1zat tkani\u010dky. V deseti letech se \u00fa\u010dastnil juniorsk\u00fdch rodeov\u00fdch sout\u011b\u017e\u00ed a za svou p\u0159esnost a odvahu si vyslou\u017eil uzn\u00e1n\u00ed a respekt. Pro mnoh\u00e9 byl zv\u011bstovatelem dal\u0161\u00ed generace rodeov\u00fdch \u0161ampion\u016f \u2013 mlad\u00e9ho mu\u017ee se sny rozlehl\u00fdmi jako pr\u00e9rie, kter\u00fdmi proch\u00e1zel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Zpr\u00e1va o jeho smrti \u0161okovala soci\u00e1ln\u00ed s\u00edt\u011b a ostatn\u00ed jezdci, m\u00edstn\u00ed fanou\u0161ci a dokonce i profesion\u00e1lov\u00e9 z rodea z cel\u00e9 zem\u011b vzdali hold.

\u010clenov\u00e9 rodiny se s touto ztr\u00e1tou jen t\u011b\u017eko vyrovn\u00e1vaj\u00ed. Jeho rodi\u010de, p\u0159\u00e1tel\u00e9 a mento\u0159i hovo\u0159ili o jeho neochv\u011bjn\u00e9 oddanosti profesi i komunit\u011b. Mimo ar\u00e9nu byl Ace zn\u00e1m\u00fd t\u00edm, \u017ee se dobrovoln\u011b anga\u017eoval s mlad\u00fdmi jezdci, pom\u00e1hal s tr\u00e9ninkem d\u011bt\u00ed a podporoval ka\u017ed\u00e9ho, kdo se cht\u011bl u\u010dit. \u201eM\u011bl dar d\u00e1t komukoli pocit, \u017ee m\u016f\u017ee dos\u00e1hnout \u010dehokoli,\u201c \u0159ekl kamar\u00e1d z d\u011btstv\u00ed. \u201eTo je pro n\u011bkoho v jeho v\u011bku vz\u00e1cn\u00fd dar.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Zat\u00edmco komunita truchl\u00ed, ot\u00e1zky ohledn\u011b nehody p\u0159etrv\u00e1vaj\u00ed.
