The family of David G. Thiesen Sr., has invited the Patriot Guard Riders (PGR) to attend the Military Honors of their loved one as he makes his final journey.
It will be an honor to do so.
David G. Thiesen Sr. was born in Long Island, New York on 22 January 1957 and entered Eternal Rest on 09 April 2017 in Murrieta.
Dave served his country in the U.S. Army from 1984 to 1992 and was honorably discharged as a Sergeant (E-5).
Dave worked for CDG for twenty years, he loved his job and the people he worked with. Dave was a member of the American Legion, Chapter 595 and loved to ride his Harley with his fellow ALR members.
Dave is survived by his loving wife of thirty-nine years, Jean. He also leaves behind his mother, Agnes, his children Crystal and David Jr., his siblings, Mark, Denise and Stephanie and one grandchild.
NOTE: This mission posting is to facilitate your voluntary participation in honoring this Military Veteran. For those interested, and all are welcome, we will be accompanying the hero and his family from the mortuary to his final resting place. Please see the time table if you would like to participate. For those who would rather go directly to the cemetery, we will meet you there.
Ray "T-Bone" Gould will also be the presiding Chaplain over the services.

You do not have to be a Veteran or a motorcycle rider to attend this mission. Everyone is welcome. We encourage those who do not ride to attend in your car. If this will be your first mission go to the initial staging area and you will be briefed there by the R/C (Ride Captain). Dress for motorcycle riding or dress casually if you are driving a cage (car). Please feel free to attend any portion of this mission you can. Please ride/drive safely.
Please remember that our mission is to stand tall and silent, and 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. Remember, cemeteries are hallowed ground. Show respect to all who are there, not just the ones we are honoring.
