Ty Modisette Obituary
Ty graduated from Tucumcari High School in 1989. He was a member of the Rodeo club and active in 4-H and FFA. He was on the horse judging and the meat judging team in High School, as well. He attended Clarendon College after high school from 1989-1992. He was on the Clarendon Rodeo team where he won the year saddle for top header along with his partner David Harwell who won the year end saddle for the top heeler. He was also a certified AI technician, which he received after college. T y has always loved the cowboy way of life starting at the early age of 3 when his Grandpa put him on his first horse.
He and Nicole lived and worked at the Libby Cattle Company in Bueyeros, N.M. living his dream. His passion was being a good father to Hayden and Mesa and always making a hand no matter where he was and no matter what his job description was. Ty was a master of many things. He could drive all different kinds of big equipment and could ride anything he threw his saddle on. He was the head packer at the Grand Canyon National Park for several years and everyone always knew who Ty Modisette was and admired the many talents he had mastered.
Surviving him are his children, Hayden Modisette, Mesa Modisette; and their mother, Terri Modisette of Logan NM; his parents, Fred and Wanda Modisette; and niece, Libby Modisette of Clovis NM; his girlfriend, Nicole Libby of Bueyeros, NM; and numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins.
He was preceded in death by his brother, Denton Modisette.
Services will be at 200 .P.M, Wednesday, April 20, 2016, at the Logan High School Gym in Logan NM with Steve Kulback, Leo Thrasher, and Mitch Boydstun officiating. Burial will follow at the San Jon Cemetery. Casket Bearers will be Jake McCorkel, Jake Shanklin, Mark Wheeler, Rusty Fisher, Rodney Bon, Ty Gresham, Travis O'Berg, David Harwell.
In lieu of flower, a memorial scholarship fund may be made to FNB New Mexico for Ty's children, Hayden and Mesa Modisette.
