The family of Kevin Evan Condray (USMC) has invited the Patriot Guard Riders to participate in Military Honors for their hero as he is laid to rest at Miramar National Cemetery. It will be our privilege to fulfill their request.
Ken was born on September 17, 1947, in Blackwell, Oklahoma and lived most of his life in Colorado and Seattle, working for ALSCO before retiring in sunny San Diego.
Ken proudly served in the United States Marine Corps (USMC) as a Heavy Equipment Mechanic during the Vietnam War and participated in the Tet Offensive in 1968 and other various operations, serving his country with honor.
Ken’s love of the outdoors allowed him to live a full and active life with his family and friends, especially at his cabin in Scofield, UT. He was always finding a way to be in nature whether it was running, golfing, skiing or fishing. His one true passion was cycling. During his 40-year cycling journey, Ken meticulously tracked his mileage and surpassed over 250,000 miles in the saddle. Many years he did not own a car and cycled everywhere.
Ken shared his cycling passion with hundreds of people. Everywhere he lived, he was an active member of the cycling community and organized daily group rides. He volunteered to lead over 100 week-long bicycle tours for Heartcycle and Cascade Bicycle Clubs, guided by a strong philosophy that bicycle touring should be affordable and accessible to everyone. In recognition of his service, Ken received the Distinguished Service Award from Heartcycle in 2024.
Ken and his wife Becky traveled throughout the US and the world together, riding bikes in France, Spain, Vietnam, and Canada. He especially loved cycling the San Juan Islands and San Juan Mountains. He loved a challenge of a long steep climb, an exhilarating descent, or a beautiful scenic pedal along the ocean.
Ken was preceded in death by his mother Olive, father Ken, sister Shirley and grandson Matthew.
Ken is survived by his loving wife, Becky Bottino; his children Troy, Brian (Dana), Jessica, Russell (Kelly); stepdaughter Andrea (Chris); and sister Cyndi.
He is also survived by his grandkids Doug (Mandy), Lexi (Ethan), Josh (Tatiana), Maria (Chandler), Haley, Colton, Avery and Chase, as well as great-grandkids Weylen and Elijah.

You need not 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 via car. If this is your first mission, meet at the staging area to be briefed by the Ride Captain (RC). Dress for motorcycle riding or dress casually, if driving a cage (car).
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. Observe the 15 MPH speed limit. Riders must wear helmets per VA regs. Cemeteries are hallowed ground. We show respect to all who are there, not just the ones we are honoring.
