Just 20 minutes ago in Charlotte, North Carolina, professional bull riding legend J.B. Mauney (often referred to as “J.J. Mauney” in some circles) took to his social media platforms to share a deeply personal and urgent update regarding his father, Tim Mauney. In an emotional and unexpected message, J.B. revealed that his father is currently undergoing a serious medical emergency, prompting an outpouring of concern and prayers from fans across the nation.
While details remain limited out of respect for the family’s privacy, J.B. expressed gratitude for the support his family has already received and asked followers to keep Tim in their thoughts during this difficult time. “My dad has always been the strongest man I know,” J.B. wrote. “He’s been there through every bull ride, every injury, and every victory. Right now, he needs us to stand behind him with the same strength he’s shown me all my life.”
Fans quickly responded with messages of love and encouragement, calling Tim a “quiet hero” who raised one of the most iconic figures in the history of professional bull riding. Known for being by J.B.’s side during world championship runs and career-defining moments, Tim Mauney has always remained a steady presence in his son’s life and career.
The Mauney family has requested privacy at this time, but J.B. promised to keep everyone updated as more information becomes available. For now, the bull riding community—and sports world at large—stands united in hoping for Tim’s full and speedy recovery.
