Lowe, from Exeter, Missouri, was the world's 18th rider and more than seven years a pro bull rider, KDVR reported. This year before his death, he earned almost $10,000 in competitions.
The twenty-five-year-old started to love riding when he was three and he told PBR in 2017 that the first time he was placed with an animal was at the age of 18. Currently, he was ranked as 14th in the world.
