    WOW!!!! im blown away!!! the guitar pick with "chris and Peggy" on it is a great touch since he was so dedicated to his wife. the wagon, im wondering if that came from his ranch or if someone donated it. one tiny gripe, no pic of the plaque at the front of the statue. The folk that worked on the park deserve heart felt thanks for creating soemthing so magical and wonderous, truely a little bit of heaven here on earth!!!

    WOW !!!! This is an awesome tribute to a man who deserves this so very much. This was well thought out and planned. Chris is smiling from ear to ear he'd be proud and so should the whole LeDoux family. I think all of Chris's fans will agree great job, my hats off you. You are missed, thank you for sharing all this and keeping his fans in the loop.

    Looking at the pic of front gate and his 1976 title brought back wonderful memories. I bought an 8-track tape from Chris at the NFR when it was still in OKC. Few people knew of his music at that time, but I had been a fan since 1973. My hats off to all the people who had a part in making the memorial. I hope to be able to see it in person.

    just stopped at Kaycee on Friday, July 16,2010. Loved the monument. I say Chris twice and being from a small town and rodeo background I can tell you I admired Chris more than any country singer out there. The town of Kaycee can be very proud of this powerful monument. I pray the best for his family and the power of country and western music.

    Thank you for the pics. Being in NC, it may take me a while to get there, but I definitely want to see it in person. The park is wonderful, as was Chris - a truly great man and great talent! We miss him so much in NC. God bless the LeDoux family!

    Visited sculpture garden while staying in the R.V. park near it and thought it was quite beautiful and restful - a place to meditate and enjoy nature. I'm sure the citizens of Kaycee are proud to have this in their town.

    I hope I can see the park and statue in real life someday. It looks awesome in the pictures. Chris was a terrific performer and I love his music. I was lucky enough to see Chris play in concert 3 times at the Butte County fair in Gridey California 3 times. Always a great time and great show. He is truly missed by many. This park will keep his legend alive!!!

    AMAZING! I love it! I am grateful for this tribute to one of my heroes. He wasn't a hero to me because of his riding or singing, but he is a hero to me because he loved his wife and children and honored them by being a good man. THAT makes him a hero to me.

    I loved the comment by dnvrdoll1966; he was my hero too because of his love for his wife and family. I was also fortunate to be able to see him ride (many years ago) and to see a couple of his concerts. The last one was in Ft. Worth at Billy Bobs just before he passed away. He will be forever missed. I hope to visit Kaycee next week to see the monument. Can't wait!

    We couldn't make the dedication ceremony due to a prior committment. What a beautiful monument to a heroic and poised man. We miss you Chris, and our thoughts are always with your family and friends. Can't wait to get to Kaycee and see the wonderous piece of art that depicts such a courageous and loving man.

    I have been a huge fan for many years. I was riding in my car with my wife when we heard of his death on the radio. Chris Ledoux sang songs that we don't hear from anyone else. I am moving to Wyoming soon and I can't wait to take my family to the park. My four year old daughter is almost as big a fan as I am.

    My dad rode against Chris back in the day of Lane Frost and Charlie Sampson. I had the chance to meet him but was to shy, I kick myself everyday now that I didn't do it:( That is the most beautiful thing that anyone can do for Chris and his Family to show that he will never be forgotten and is always in the rodeo cowboy and cowgirls heart. I'm in Wisconsin now but I'm a true western girl from (Greybull WY) by the way of north ID. I love Chris's music now and then and will always love it from one rough stock rider to another

    Wow, that is beautiful. A piece that would make Remington proud, or jealous. Certainly of the highest quality, and the artist was obviously as talented as they come. The entire park is simply stunning. I look forward to riding my motorcycle there, and paying my respects. Simply beautiful! I can't describe it any better.

    On the eve of his birthday, I came back to the website to see what had been happening and find this wonderful tribute. The statue is beautiful as is the park. I have loved his music since the late 70's and have fond memories of visiting with Chris throughout the years. I love the pick with Chris + Peggy. She is one special lady and I hope you are doing well. Hugs to all the family and thank you for sharing this great man with his fans. I know the highway from there to home was long sometimes...but we treasure the memories. God Bless CHRIS LEDOUX and his family!

    I am a farmer from Indiana. We went to Wyoming on vacation this summer. My 13 yo old son had become a LeDoux fan, and he brought his ipod full of Chris's songs. To humor him, we decided to stop at Kaycee. As we drove down from Buffalo, looking at that beautiful country, and listening to that music, and stopping at that tremendous park, I must say, I became a LeDoux fan. I can't stop listening. Thank you to all who had a hand in it. On an amazing trip, this was one of the highlights. Just wish Chris was still here! To borrow from one of Chris's songs - Some folks made a living, others lived their dream.

    The character of Chris's music is surely a reflection of his his personal character. When I heard of his death I was sad not for my loss but your loss, as he surely was dearly loved by all who knew him. I learned to love and respect his music back in the 90's, it's originallity and colorful representation of life. His music speaks and delivers the warmth of his love for life. His memory will live on. Thanks for such great music Chris. A Legend never dies. God bless the Chris Ledoux family. Mitch Yarbrough / Katy, Texas

    My husband and I were in Kaycee for 12 days while they set the monument in place and for the dedication. Totally awesome and worth the trip. One of you asked if Garth was there. I held a beer for a fellow trying to juggle three and I told him he looked just like Garth Brooks. He said he gets that all the time. Could of been him??? I say it was and that's my story. Love Chris LeDoux's family. Love you Bud!

    Let me tell you of the legend of Chris Le Doux’s love for God, his wife Peggy, the countryside and for all people. He always was, and will be, a legend, man of a man, with a heart of gold (I don’t mean pocketbook), who was never too proud to care for all people. I got acquainted with him, on a limited basis, on the 2nd floor lobby of the Stockman’s Hotel in Elko, NV. During the 1st and 2nd annual cowboy poetry convention, lots of the musicians gathered in the lobby and allowed out of town guests to join them. The musicians played ALL night long! When it turned one minute past midnight, Chris announced that it’s Sunday. Folks, let’s each give honor to God with a Christian song, As the legend of a man he was, and will always be, he said I’ll start. “Amazing Grace” rang out in that lobby. Not many kept a dry eye, I sure didn’t! Hits you right in the heart! One at a time, the other musicians took their turn, some promised to learn and include Christian songs in their repertoire. Second year, I returned. I had the privilege of seeing Chris and Peggy dancing together. She’s much shorter than he is, and she sure had green colored eyes. He was totally devoted to his wife. Chris allowed me the privilege to be part of a trick he played on a “friend” of his to teach him a lesson, the man was a selfish cowboy musician who story says later became a movie director. As Chris followed through on his promise of payment, to perform in Vale, OR and asked me to meet him backstage to talk. Unfortunately, I was married at that time to a selfish man, and no amount of begging would make my husband allow me to meet Chris backstage. Chris Le Doux was/is a man of his word, wow did he pack that high school gym!! When I became divorced, I returned to WI to get acquainted with nieces and nephews. That hasn’t even worked very well. Due to extreme circumstances, for years and years, I lost my memory of everything that was ever important to me. Now I’m stuck in WI without the $ or job to return home to the west. LESSON: You’ve got to find what’s in your heart and stick with it. The west is a land of freedom, and people who really know how to be a friend. A Legend never dies…thanks Chris, Peggy, cowfolk who gathered in Elko, NV, and other people who are real and honest

    What a wonderful Tribute to an American Legend! He is deeply missed in our hearts but always remembered. I had the pleasure to attend many of his concerts and looked forward to the state fair every year because of his music. I too hope I get to see it in person one day! He is looking down thru the floors of heaven smiling and tapping his boot to the greatest songs ever. God bless his family and thank you for sharing such a wonderful gift with the rest of the world!

    Just went on a 43 hr road trip through WY and Montana all to the soundtrack of Chris LeDoux! It was chilling when we pulled into Kaycee. What a great monument to a true role model who's music is under appreciated by the main stream but you know what, I kinda like it that way! Wish there was a way to post our pics from the park on this site!

    A beautiful tribute to a wonderful man. I was so very sad to hear about Chris's passing, he is one of my favorite singers, I love his voice. I am so very glad I got to see him in concert when he came to Rapid City. He was an amazing entertainer and incredibley handsome too. I am so glad he was an old fashioned family man, it gives a person hope that there are still men like him in our country. He is sorely missed but I'm sure he's an angel in heaven.

    My 4h Livestock judging team loved it. We stopped to check it out on the way too the NILE. It's very beautiful! We have judged in Nashville and stopped at Graceland. The front gates at Chris Ledoux Memorial park were far more spectacular than those at Graceland. We will be stopping again with a new batch of judging kids and I am sure they will appreciate it also. Knowing all that Chris ledoux did for 4h and rodeo kids thru his life. Makes this a great spot to see on our travels.

    I hadn't realized Chris had passed on, as I didn't watch much TV before I had it shut off. Garth Brooks was having a special and so I clicked it on and that's when I learned we had lost one of the best country/rodeo singers there ever was. Yes, I'll admit I cried. He was so young and a wonderful person. I got to see him in person before he was signed to a label when he appeared in Pendleton, Oregon in 1991. My girlfriend and I just loved his show and he was great. My middle son introduced to Chris's music in 1985 when he was living in Montana and have listened to him ever since. RIP Chris, you are dearly missed and may God watch over his family.

    My husband and I traveled the whole state of Wyoming and made a point to stop at the memorial of Chris. The park is full of blooming flowers and well taken care of. The statue is a true likeness of him. We were told his wife Peggy takes care of the park. Would have liked to have met her and to be able to visit the store. You see his boot prints walking into the park is a nice thing to see. We are big fans of his and really miss seeing him in concert, it kinda hit us in the soft spot. Truly enjoyed!!

    The monument is beautiful. I loved his music and still do. Met him about 4 times and he was always a gentleman. Heaven got a real Cowboy when he crossed the sunset. God Bless Chris LeDoux....you are sorely missed.

    Looks absolutely fabulous and a fitting tribute to such a great guy. Tragically taken from us at such a young age.. Probably never get the chance to see it for real (UK resident)., but will through his music never forget.

    I was at the park today. It was snowing and I took some amazing pictures. It's hard to believe Chris is gone. I always thought Chris was larger than life. Thanks to Ned and Western Underground we get to enjoy the spirit of Chris' music a little longer. I say "a little longer" because we're only here a minute. I drive a truck for a living and I've seen places that will take your breath away. I was not prepared for the emotions I experienced when I walked up to the park. I was the only one on the streets of Kaycee. After a lengthy visit, I walked up the street to the Country Inn and had a steak to unwind. I rode the rodeo for many years and the fondest, most vivid memories I have are me getting out of my truck at a rodeo and hearing County Fair blaring from the arena speakers. Good ride cowboy....good ride. We thank you brother. Rest easy under your beloved western skies....

    Funny how we keep running in to other, even though he’s past some does a awesome job to remember the music and the western spirit only he could tell. Driving truck up in northwest listening to his songs and stoping some places he grew up.. These just good people. Yeah, we all miss Chris. Ride Cowboy Ride

    We visited the monument while on vacation in July. Awesome tribute to a wonderful Cowboy. My niece who is in The Little Britches Rodeo had heard about Chris and when we told her we were going to visit the monument she was so thrilled. She couldn't believe how small his feet were but was so impressed with the statue. We then went across the street to the store and she asked me if I knew if that was his son working. I told her probably but not sure and of course she had to find out.

    My daughter and I just finally got to make the trip to see the monument and spend some time in Kaycee. Beautiful tribute to a great man. Miss him dearly, glad to know he is so loved still by so many.

    My grandma raised money to get this statue built I think the cubs scouts or the Boy Scouts raised money.

    If you are even remotely close to Kaycee, point your horse, truck or car toward Kaycee and see the statue for yourself. I promise you it’s worth the time! God Bless Chris LeDoux! 🍻

    Love his music! I was glad to see (in C.J. Box' "Joe Pickett" series) the characters always saluting Chris when they come into Kaycee!
