STILLWATER — If there was any question as to what tone Boone Pickens’ Celebration of Life was going to take, it was answered quickly.
On the opening video of Picken’s Stillwater tribute started with a scene from 2014. In the video, set in the middle of Boone Pickens Stadiums on a chilly November night, Pickens proclaimed, “My a– is cold.”
Gallagher-Iba Arena hosted Pickens’ Celebration of Life on Wednesday. It was dimly lit with a stage on the west side of Eddie Sutton Court. A few thousand people were in attendance. The arena’s video boards were black with Pickens’ orange signature written across them.
