We have been invited by the family of Frank Pearson, 69, to be present as he receives his military honors. We are privileged to do so.
Frank served in the United States Air Force during the Vietnam War from December 1970 to August 1974 and was an Airman 1st Class at the end of his Honorable Service.
After his military service Frank, became a teacher and taught at RCC and was a state employee for 30 years before retirement. Frank also had a passion for soccer and was an American Youth Soccer Organization coach and a referee for many years. Frank loved motorcycles and honoring his fellow Brothers and Sisters in the military, which led him to join the Patriot Guard Riders. Frank loved hearing the roar of motorcycle engines so his daughter, Tracy, put out an open invitation on Facebook for riders to join us in honoring her father and our PGR Brother. Frank also enjoyed the cowboy lifestyle and got into quickdraw shooting.
Frank is survived by his spouse Kathy Sue Pearson and sister, Vickie Falcone. Frank is also survived and will be remembered by his son and daughter.
