Per request of our good friend and PGR member Gregg “Digger” Walker (Walker Family Funeral Services), the family of Jerry Dean Hansen 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 our honor to do so.
Jerry was born in Watertown, South Dakota on 09 October 1946.
Jerry was in the U.S. Air Force during the Vietnam War from 1967 to 1971. During his enlistment, Jerry served as a Communications Center Specialist. Among his awards/citations, Jerry received the National Defense Service Medal and the Air Force Good Conduct Medal. He was stationed at Kincheloe AFB, Michigan at the time of his honorable discharge as a Sergeant.
After the military, Jerry worked in real estate/property management for thirty-five years.
He was a longtime parishioner along with his wife Florence "Flo" at San Antonio de Padua Catholic Church in Anaheim Hills.
Jerry is survived by his beloved wife Florence, brothers Jim (Lori) Hansen and Randy Hansen. He also leaves behind six nieces and nephews.

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.
