Boone Pickens’ life spanned so many industries and crossed so many worlds, it’s hard to keep up. Literally, we’re having a hard time keeping up with them all. Who else goes hunting with professional athletes we follow like Brandon Weeden but also has dinners with former presidents like George W. Bush?
On Wednesday — following Pickens’ death — Bush was among the many politicians and state leaders who released a statement celebrating the 91 remarkable years of life Pickens lived.
“T. Boone Pickens became a household name across the country because he was bold, imaginative, and daring,” wrote Bush.
