Volunteer Of The Year Awards

TWA Membership Volunteer Of The Year Award

Parley Dixon

Parley spent his childhood and high school years in a very rural farming/ranching/mining community in southeastern Arizona. His mother’s family has roots with humble farming/ranching interests in that region, dating back to the early 1900’s.  The area is high desert, situated along the Gila River, which affords excellent soils for farming opportunities. This time of growing up for Parley found summer mornings and early afternoon’s working for various farmers in the area –  hoeing weeds out of cotton fields or bucking hay. Late afternoons and evenings were spent helping dad and mom repair fence, shoveling/hauling gravel to cover caliche, or working silt fences to preserve precious topsoil from washouts caused by seasonal monsoon or sporadic heavy rains.  These activities helped instill a love of nature and of the land into his heart.

Parley’s greatest love, support and friend is his wife Lisa. Together they find great enjoyment spending time outdoors with their 5 children and 2 grandchildren (with the 3rd on the way).

Professionally, Parley has worked at the same steel fabrication and installation company for his entire career, beginning in 1991. Early years were spent as a craft worker, leading to positions as foreman, supervisor and then estimating/management responsibilities.  In 2000, Parley and TWA member Rex Webb purchased the company from the original founder. Rex retired in 2018, Parley continues as CEO.

Parley has a deep respect for the steward-minded leadership and membership of the Texas Wildlife Association, and is enjoying his 9th year as a member.

Don Coxsey

Don Coxsey has been a Volunteer with TYHP for 14 years. In that time he has run over 40 hunts as lead Huntmaster and taken over 216 new hunters on safe, educational hunts. Don has been instrumental in the support of TYHP by Bass pro shops and Cabelas. Their contributions to TYHP are over $70,000 dollars and the ubiquitous TYHP orange hats worn by youth and volunteers alike. The hat and now vests and patches are just as much a part of the hunt experience as are the outdoor adventures.

Don takes great care to get to know his hunters well before the hunt. He is absolutely committed to first time hunters. If you talk to a hunter or parent who has been on a Don Coxsey TYHP hunt you can sum up their experience with the most common response “best hunt ever. Don is the consummate TYHP promoter. He can regular be seen at booths recruiting volunteers, landowners and youth. He has hosted Huntmaster trainings in North Texas and is very active with the Texas paralyzed veterans. We are very proud of all of our volunteers and especially proud to recognize Don as our 2019-202 TYHP Volunteer of the year.

Don is a long time resident of Denton, Texas and although his Texas drawl does not reveal it; he was born in Oakland, California. He followed his Dad’s Navy legacy and served his country as a Soldier in the US Army in the Vietnam era. After his military service Don was in the boat business for 23 years and has worked for Basspro Shop and Cabelas for the last 15 Years Don is Married to his wife Christiane, they have a daughter Jina , and a Grand- daughter Hadley 6 .
