Mr. Johnny Pickens

I have known Johnny my whole life. He was always smiling. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

Johnny was our family, even if, not on paper. He moved to Texas with us and became a jockey. There were No Better! The picture with Stacy´s First winning a futurity, against all odds, was, just the beginning! So many great years and times together! Johnny, you will always be deep in our hearts friend! We love you forever! So very missed !

A very long journey we had with Johnny! He moved to Texas with us and became one of the best jockeys here! No one better! The picture with Stacy´s First was our first Big race in Texas, winning a futurity against all odds! What a ride we had together! Love you always Johnny!

Kind and ready to help, always! A special friend! Thoughts and prayers for the family!

Our family loved Johnny! He came into our lives when he was 12 years old and became part of our family, living with some of us at different times in his life while learning to ride horses. He was more than just a jockey He was one of the best race riders we have ever known! He truly found his calling! We all enjoyed having Jonny in our lives, he always made you laugh and if you weren´t laughing you were smiling. God Bless all of you! You all will be in our thoughts and prayers

Remember his smile Remember his stories A Jewel of the Nile Bask in his Glory The heart of a lion Sweet as candy Beyond the horizon Sippin some Brandy He said if your kind Your life will be merry Your doing just fine Take good care of Sheri As you enter the gates The light will thicken I´ll always remember Ole Johnny Pickens Doug Smith
