Timothy P. Pickett

Tim was born December 8, 1950, in Jamestown, NY, and was born the son of the late John “Jack” E. and Eva R. Field Pickett. He was the husband of Paula A. Pickett whom he married June 7, 1980, at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Westfield, NY.

He attended Jamestown High School but with permission from his parents, Tim left his senior year and from 1968-1975 proudly served the United States Marine Corps with stations in both Vietnam and Okinawa, Japan. From there he went on to earn his GED and attend classes at Jamestown Community College where he met his wife, Paula. Through Operation Recognition, Tim was honored with his diploma from Jamestown High School in May 2019, a very proud moment for him and his family.

In 1979, Tim joined the National Guard and was a member until 1990. Tim worked at Forecon Inc. from 1981 until 1985 when he left to join the Jamestown Police Department, working as the city’s Animal Control Officer, ultimately retiring from the Department in 2008.

Tim dedicated much of his life, well over two decades, to supporting the Boy Scouts of America through various roles including Scoutmaster. He was inducted into the Order of the Arrow with recognition as a Vigil member.

He was active in St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, serving as a member of the Vestry and as an usher for several years.

Those left behind to cherish his memory are his daughter, Amanda (Adam) Oxenreider of Ellicott City, MD; son, John (Dawn) Pickett of Jamestown; seven grandchildren: McKenzie, Zachary, Emmory and Wesley Pickett, and Aden, Avry and Ari Oxenreider; one brother, David (Jacque) Pickett of Auburndale, FL, and numerous other relatives and friends.

Besides his parents, Tim is also preceded in death by his wife, Paula.
