<From Jan Pippins, admin> Rest In Peace, Don “Sam Butler” Collier. Don was a good friend of Henry Darrow’s and one of the most interesting and nicest people you could ever meet. Here’s what Terry Bomar said about Don: “It’s with great love and sorrow, but an honor, to share that Don Collier went to be with the Lord peacefully this morning with family and friends at his side. He’s always said that he lived an amazing life. At 92 he said last week that he was ready to be with the Lord. At 9:05 this morning we held his hand as he made Heaven his home.” — with Don Sam Butler Collier and Steve Mounger.

RIP to the iconic TV and film actor Don Collier, who has passed away at the age of 92. He was talented enough to span genres for decades, but he always seemed to come home to the Westerns. Whether it’s shows like Little House on the Prairie, Outlaws, High Chaparral, or Gunsmoke, or films like The War Wagon and Tombstone, his acting work will live on. (And an entire generation of Tombstone visitors will certainly remember his voice: Collier provided the recorded narration for the on-site gunfight display at the O.K. Corral museum.)
Arbuckle Coffee Roasters
We are deeply saddened by the passing of Don Sam Butler Collier today. He will be tremendously missed by all that knew him and enjoyed his work. Since 2007, he has been far more than just the Arbuckle Cowboy; he has been a beloved member of our family. Always approachable; down to earth and generous, Don was always there with his unconditional friendship first and eager to discuss ways to help further promote the Arbuckle brand. When his car was in the parking lot, it was time for coffee and great conversation to get up to date on his latest adventures traveling the country participating in the countless Western festivals he enjoyed being a part of. There were so many funny stories told only the way he could tell them in his famous voice. When it was time to go, he would often end his visit with, “Alright, love ya pal. I’ll talk to you next week…” We were very blessed to have known him. We enjoyed so many extra good years with him but that does not make it any easier today. Don will always be missed.
Despite our profound sadness, we are comforted knowing Don has made Heaven his new home today. Our most sincere condolences to the Mounger family and his countless friends that loved him throughout the years. Special thanks to Balfour Walker for this and so many other great photos.
