Poetic Obituaries: The Johnsons own Diamond J Ranch in the

La Cresta area of Murrieta, which is where he [Richard "Dick" Johnson] lived out his love for horses. At one point, he served as the president of Rancho California Caballeros. The group was formed in 1970, inaugurated by a three-day trail ride in the hills near Murrieta.

His sons spoke of him taking rides often, during which he would find a shade tree to sit and write his next poem. His poems reflected his strong faith, the last of which he wrote on July 4 as a gift to his family on his 47th wedding anniversary.
