There are no words that could adequately express the love and bond Annet and I shared. A love that spanned more than one lifetime, that was cherished in this one. Her golden heart and vibrant spirit were a gift to all who encountered her. She was a sister to me in soul and spirit. While I will miss you here in your beautiful human form, I will continue to love and connect to you in spirit. I love you always. 

Sending love and light to Aiden, Angelo and Aaron. May her spirit be free and her love live in your hearts always. 

Annet will always be one of the greats in my mind. She had a great eye & ear for talent. She was professional, direct & such a champion not only for her clients, but of her friends, fellow managers & us agents. She really believed there was space for everyone to thrive in this business without hurting each other and simply celebrating each other’s wins. You can see by her devotion to her family that commitment and longevity were important to Annet. She was strong willed but so soft-hearted and sensitive which totally makes sense as to why it was so effortless for her to connect to nature and animals. The only thing difficult for me to process is why take such a good one from this earth when we need good more than ever and she was so solidly good. Perhaps she is needed elsewhere for now but I’m certain she is going to remain by our side and in our hearts with every big win, every hard choice and with any silence that surrounds us, she will fill that space. Everyone who loved Annet is in my prayers. Stay strong everyone and let’s find ways to keep her memory alive. 

Back in 2023, I was writing up a couple of flyers, and I felt I should ask Annet to review and edit them. I had just met her, but she spent her valuable time teaching me how to write ad copy. That was no small thing. I didn't even know what "a call to action" was. I still use that material to introduce people to my services. I appreciated her efforts back then, and still do.

What a generous, loving, and gifted woman. Later, Annet shared her heart and some of her life story with me. We sat in the shade and the dust, talking with each other and the horses. I wish we could have more time to spend together.

RIP Sister Friend.

We don't realize how precious certain encounters will become. I only met Annet in April of 2023. I hardly imagined she would have gone so soon.

But I visited with her enough to get a glimpse of how loving and gifted she was-and still is. How I wish we had more time to spend sitting with the horses and discussing cabbages and kings. 

My condolences to all who love her. Her going leaves an aching, empty space.

My faith teaches that her spirit lives on and will one day be reunited with her perfect body. I know we will see her and be with her again.

I also know she is out of pain and in a beautiful place. 

Rest well and fly free, you beautiful soul!

Annet always carried a bright contagious smile wherever she went. She is a very kind soul, and a happy person. Sending my deepest condolences to her family and loved ones. Annet, we will all miss you.

As we continue to process the loss of Annet McCroskey, I wanted to share a glimpse into what she meant to us and who she was as a person to us.

Not only did she take a chance on a little boy from Arkansas and help him film shows on ABC, NBC, and a movie that will release this fall, but she became a cornerstone in who Jaydon is becoming. BUT she was more than a manager….

We met Annet through Adrian R'Mante’s CGTV program, and she met us in the hotel after he performed, wanting to sign Jaydon to be his manager. We were still ecstatic and excited when we returned home. The second day home, Annet called me, and as we began to talk, she became aware of Jaydon's situation - his mother leaving when he was 10 months old. I'll never forget the silence that followed that statement because Annet was shedding tears for Jaydon.

Ever since that phone call, Jaydon always got a text on holidays, special events, and anything else that would warrant something, and every year on his birthday, he got a phone call to say Happy Birthday because she knew his mother would not do that, so she wanted Jaydon to feel the love and support that she had for him.

Jaydon sings a rendition of 'Piece by Piece' by Kelly Clarkson and has recorded it. Annet had told me once that sometimes she would just play that recording just to hear him sing.

She held our hands through all of this process, from acting on down as two Arkansas boys who had no clue what was going on. She always made sure that we were aware that Jaydon was always taken care of, but more importantly, she always stood in Jaydon's corner, cheering as loud as she could for him! She was always letting him know that she loved and supported him. Annet was one of a kind, and this world will truly miss her dearly.

Jaydon is sad because he wanted her with him at his red carpet premiere for his movie and for her to see it... we will miss the calls, the texts, the zoom calls and Annet tremendously BUT what we both know over the past two days is that what she has instilled in Jaydon and myself will live on forever! Annet made us better people and we Thank God for her!

Annet was one of the most influential people in my life as a child. I could never begin to thank her for the years of unfailing kindness and unwavering support she gave me. I am heartbroken at her loss, but I know her light is shining on. My prayers are with her family, whom she loved so very much. 

For 12 years, Annet has shown up for me in ways I’ll never forget. Her strength, her love, and her wisdom helped me through some of the hardest chapters of my life. I’ll carry her with me always. Her life is one worth celebrating, and I feel lucky to have been a part of it. All my love to your family xx

Praying for peace in your hearts at this time. Annet will be greatly missed.
