The South Congaree Rodeo family is deeply saddened by the passing of our dear friend and longtime supporter, Mr. Paul Kirby.
For many years, Mr. Paul was one of our biggest supporters, faithfully promoting our events and helping spread his love for rodeo throughout the community. He wasn’t just a rodeo fan — he was a true friend to our rodeo family.
His kindness, friendship, and unwavering support meant more to us than words can express. People like Mr. Paul are what make the rodeo community so special, and his presence will be greatly missed.
We extend our heartfelt condolences and prayers to the Kirby family and all who had the privilege of knowing him.
Thank you, Mr. Paul, for the years of friendship, encouragement, and love you showed the South Congaree Rodeo. You will always have a special place in our rodeo family. ❤️
Rest easy, dear friend. Until we meet again
