Henry Thacker
2026-2027 big boss
As Big Boss of the Silver Spurs Club, Henry Thacker proudly represents both a deep family legacy and a lifelong commitment to the traditions of Osceola County. A seventh-generation Osceola County resident, he has spent his life immersed in the values, heritage, and community spirit that have defined the area for generations.
Before being elected Big Boss, he served the Silver Spurs Club as Old Bossy (Treasurer) for five years, helping steward the organization’s mission and ensuring its continued success. His election also marked a historic milestone for the Club, as he became the first Big Boss whose mother and father both previously served as Big Bosses, Clarence and Jo, continuing a family tradition of leadership and service.
Family is at the heart of everything he does. He and his wife, Melissa, are proud parents to two sons, Jon and Murray. The Silver Spurs Club has always been a family-first organization, and that commitment is reflected throughout his own family. His sisters, Celia and Celeste, along with their husbands, Jared and Brock, are also active members of the Silver Spurs Club, making service to the organization and the community a true family tradition.
For more than 80 years, the Silver Spurs Club has been dedicated to preserving the cowboy heritage, ranching traditions, and rodeo culture of Osceola County while giving back to the community through charitable efforts, scholarships, youth programs, and civic involvement. As Big Boss, Henry is honored to help advance that mission by supporting the Club’s family-oriented values, strengthening its impact on the community, and ensuring that the rich heritage of the area continues to be celebrated for future generations.
Rooted in family, guided by tradition, and committed to service, Henry is proud to lead the Silver Spurs Club while honoring its past and helping shape its future.
