Part 2 of 2 partsSo California PGR has lost one of our own. Timothy Wayne 'Moboddy' Janeway, 66, US Marine, Vietnam Vet and PGR Member, passed away on 20 May, 2016.
Moboddy's family has invited the PGR to honor him at his funeral service, we are grateful and will be honored to do so.
Timothy Wayne Janeway enlisted in the US Marine Corps in September, 1966 and served in Vietnam until his honorable discharge in September, 1969. He was assigned to the 13th Engr Battalion, 5th Marine Division. His job was repairing and delivering the repaired trucks into the combat areas. He would talk about how he would be shot at from all directions as he was driving the trucks to the front lines and had to drive as fast as he could to make it through. He also was a guard at the encampments and learned to stay awake to make sure the enemy was not sneaking up in the night.
He was awarded the Good Conduct Medal, Rifle Sharpshooter's Badge, Vietnam Campaign Medal, National Defense Medal and the Vietnam Service Medal.
Tim was known by his friends as 'Moboddy', his road name. He loved to ride his motorcycle, and did so all over the country. He went on the Run For The Wall (RFTW) many times from So Calif 'All The Way' to Washington, DC to participate in Rolling Thunder, a tribute to the Fallen Heroes of the Vietnam War held on Memorial Day every year. He also went on many other rides with friends including several to Casa Grande, AZ for the memorial celebration of the battle of Iwo Jima held every year on the Sacatan Indian Reservation.
Moboddy was a very active member of the PGR in So California. He participated whenever he could in many missions over the years including funerals honoring our fallen, welcome homes of our troops and nearly every Wednesday he was present at a service held at Riverside National Cemetery for Veterans Without Family.
Tim is survived by his sister, Jessie, sister Theresa and brother Tom, four children, Michelle Heard (husband Tony), Brandon Janeway (wife Teresa), Tony Janeway (wife Cassie), and Kenny Hartford Roberts, 7 grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren.
Moboddy is also survived his PGR family who will remember him as a proud Marine, devoted Patriot, and a big man with a warm and loving heart and a great sense of humor. Moboddy you will be missed, see you on the other side brother..
