The family of Eugene Michael Reich, has invited the Patriot Guard Riders to attend the Military Honors of their loved one as he makes his final journey. It will be our honor to do so.
Michael Reich as he was better known, was born in Tacoma Washington on May 31, 1947 and passed away on April 19, 2019.
Mike proudly served in the U.S. Army from October 1966 - May 1969 where he was stationed in the DMZ during the Vietnam conflict and was honorably discharged as SP 5 (T).
The family moved to California in the mid-sixties where Mike graduated from Azusa High and Citrus College. He was employed by the DuPont Co. and PacBell.
In retirement he spent many happy days riding his Harley motorcycle. He had ridden with the Run to the Wall group and participated in the Rolling Thunder ride. He participated in a couple of HOG National Posse Rides to ride in all 48 contiguous states. He loved to travel by any means; airplane, cruise ship, river ship and motorcycle. He was an adventurer. He will be remembered for his quick smile, good humor, and easy laugh.
Mike is survived by his wife of 47 yrs, Marcia Reich; daughter, Kelly Ruiz & son-in-law George Ruiz, a sister Louise Youngs and brothers, John and Gene.
