John Payne

John Rey Payne was born on January 25, 1973, and rode his last rodeo on Monday, February 20, 2012. He'll be busy wearing his guardian angel hat for his beloved children, Tallen and Kaitlyn and their mother Marsha, brothers Steven and Robert, sister-in-law Solana, parents Keith and Martha Payne, his aunt and uncles, Louis and Cindy King, Tim Payne, and Kent Payne, and grandmother Addie Payne. He's got a watchful eye on his top hands, Adtikus, Robert and Brittany, Kyla and Cody, and VickiSue, as well as all his extra nieces, nephews and cousins that were drawn in by his fun loving personality. He's also swinging his guardian angel loop to include Grandpa Jim, Terry, his many friends who rope and those who don't, his great family of co-workers at Crane Services, all the in-laws and out-laws, and all those he ever wrangled into his remuda. Put on your favorite pair boots and jeans and join us in a celebration of his incredible life on Friday, February 24, 11:00 am (come early/stay late), at John's home in Sweetwater, TX on County Road 426.
