Joe Picón Obituary
He was born April 28, 1942 in Millersview, Texas to Jesusita Picón and the late Juan Picón, Sr.
Joe was a hard-working provider, loving husband and father, and a fun-loving friend to many. He was a devoted Catholic, member of Guadalupanos of Our Lady of Grace Church and was a Fourth Degree member of Knights of Columbus, Council 3008, to which he dedicated his life and service.
Joe is survived by his mother Jesusita, wife Ernestina and four sons: Mike Picón of New York City; Mario and wife Melissa of McAllen, TX; James and wife Victoria of Lubbock; Kris Albert and wife Samantha, also of Lubbock. He is also survived by grandchildren Marissa Erin, Zarin Paul, Meagan Leigh and Marinda Lynn and by one great-grandson Aaron Lee.
He is also survived by nine siblings: Beatrice Ortega, Juan Picón, Jr., Frank Picón, Carmen Olivarez, Mary Rodriguez, Felix Picón, David Picón, Diana Sanchez, and Ric Picón.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to Guadalupanos of Our Lady of Grace Church.

I was privileged to have known Joe. I went to school with Joe, "El Rory" Picon. I remember going to Carol Thompson Jr. High where I remember him dressed with his black boots and Levi jacket. Those were some good times!! I will miss him forever. So long my dear friend... Tomas Rodriguez

I still can't believe that you're gone and that I won't ever hear your jokes. or the way you would answer the phone always with a witty remark, and how you were always there when I needed you. I can still hear you say "It is what it is" and then dive in to help.
Ernie, I'm here whenever you need me and to my nephews, your father was the greatest brother and a true GENTLEman with a lot of class. I will miss him dearly. I love you all.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time.
"God saw he was getting tired
And a cure was not to be
So he put His arms around him
And whispered come with me.
With tear filled eyes we watched him
Suffer and fade away
Although we loved him deeply
We could not make him stay.
A golden heart stops beating
Hardworking hands put to rest
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best"
