The family of William Max Hobb has invited the Patriot Guard Riders to accompany their hero on his final journey and attend his military honors. It is our privilege to fulfill their request.
William passed away at the ripe old age of 94 years old.
William joined the Navy on September 27, 1951 & was honorably discharged September 16. 1955. He was stationed at the US Naval station, Wahiawa, Oahu Hawaii.
After his separation from the Navy, he went to work as an electronics technician at North Island Naval Air Station. He retired in 1986.
William was the kind of a guy that could fix anything from plumbing to cars. He & his wife Jackie liked to travel and spend a lot of their time in the desert.
William was preceded in death by his wife Jackie of 64 years & his youngest daughter Susan & his granddaughter Breanna.
He is survived by his daughters Twylla & Cathy, 7 grandchildren, & 20 great grandchildren.

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.
