The family of Ronald G. Buxton has invited the Patriot Guard Riders to attend the services of their Hero and honor him, we would be honored to do so.
 
LCpl Ronald G. Buxton enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corp in March, 1963 and served in Vietnam, he was honorably discharged in March, 1969 at the rank of Lance Corporal.
 
LCpl Buxton saw a lot of combat in Vietnam and brought the burden home with him in the form of PTSD which he was never able to fully recover from.  He passed away due to those effects of PTSD.  We mourn our brother.
 
Ron loved his family and is survived by his wife, 3 daughters and 6 grandchildren.
