Terrel Vineyard, 27, was on horseback when he was struck June 21, north of Oshkosh.
A rodeo athlete and his horse died this month when the two were struck by lightning in a rural part of Nebraska while the man was checking on cattle, according to officials and a fundraiser.
The National Weather Service said there was a 30% chance of thunderstorms on the 21st, with that chance increasing to 90% in the evening. In a post on her Facebook, which was verified by NBC News, Stacey Vineyard thanked the community who had supported her family since her husband’s death. Vineyard was raised on Nebraska ranches and learned to rope cattle by the time he was 6, according to a GoFundMe for his family, which was verified by the crowdfunding site.
