W. R. (Bubba)
Echols
May 22, 1927 - Oct 15, 1999
W. R. (Bubba) Echols passed away early Friday morning, October 15, 1999. This was a favorite time of day for him, made even more special as he was surrounded by his family. He had battled emphysema for several
years. Bubba was a rancher, team roper and story teller. Many of his stories came from his large family, which was very important to him. He often told many interesting and humorous stories which are just a part of how he will live forever in our memories.
Bubba lived in Bayfield for many years. He was PTA president and president of Pine River Arena Association. He helped revive and support Bayfield High School girls basketball in ‘69 and the tradition of senior trips. He was instrumental in starting BHS Rodeo and was an influential
community supporter for many years even after he moved to New Mexico. He is survived by his wife of 49 years, Norma; his daughters Robin Snooks of Bayfield, Sana Echols of Taos NM; Trudy Kremer and Tish Nelson of Bayfield; and his son Colonel Echols of Sioux Falls SD. He has 13
grandchildren, three great- grandchildren (another is on the way), and many nieces and nephews. Bubba was born in Corsicana TX on May 22, ‘27. He attended new Mexico Military Institute in Roswell and was in the Navy. After serving in the
Navy, he went to University of New Mexico and Hardin Simmons College in Abilene TX. He met and married Norma Hughes at Hardin Simmons in ‘50. They moved to Carlsbad NM and ranched there for many years, then moved to Bayfield in ‘65 to help Jack Hughes ranch. He eventually retired to a
much smaller ranch in Las Cruces NM. He has led a long and full life, and it is without regret that we send him on to his roping partner in the sky.
