The family of Frank Kenneth Wojtasiak has invited the Patriot Guard Riders to be present to honor their Hero for his service to his country. It will be our privilege to do so.
On March 3rd, 2022, Frank Wojtasiak suddenly and tragically passed away at the age of 34 years old.
Frank joined the United States Marine Corps on August 16, 2012 and was honorably discharged on August 16, 2020. He rose to the rank of Sergeant. He was a postal clerk. Frank was awarded the Navy achievement award, good conduct medal. National defense service, global war on terrorism, and overseas service award.
When Frank left the Marines, he became a business owner called “Jersey Sales”. Frank was loved so much and he will be profoundly missed. He was an absolute joy to be around, with his cheesy grin and witty sense of humor leaving all of those around him smiling, laughing, and at times shaking their heads at his jokes. No matter where Frank was, you immediately felt his presence and cheerful energy.
Many people, upon meeting Frank, would instantly feel as if he had been their friend for years. He truly was a great and loyal friend to all, a loving son to his parents, and an amazing husband to his wife Jen. He also had genuine love for their two meatball English Bulldogs, Rupert and Mabel.
Lastly, he was a true Buffalo Bills super-fan who never wavered, even after decades of losing seasons. Finally there was happiness in knowing that Frank was fortunate enough to witness their long awaited redemption to being a top team in the league again.
Frank was furthering his education to become a Lawyer, He loved traveling, going to the beach, spending time with his family, and was a huge animal lover and took part in supporting organizations that helped save rhinos.
Frank is survived by his wife Jennifer, his parents, and many other family members and friends. He will be forever remembered and dearly missed by all who loved him.

You do not have to be a Veteran or a motorcycle rider to attend this mission. All PGR members are welcome. We encourage those who do not ride to attend in your car. If this is your first mission, go to the initial staging area, and you will be briefed by the R/C (Ride Captain). Dress for motorcycle riding or wear casual attire while driving a cage (car). Please feel free to attend any portion of this mission you can. Please ride/drive safely.
Remember that our mission is to stand tall and silent with honor and respect for our Heroes—no talking, smoking, or cell phone use during the flag line or service. Please keep radios off and engine noise to a minimum. Show respect to all who are there, not just the ones we honor.
