Part 2 of 2 PartsThe family of Officer Richard O. Ramirez, age 40, has invited the PGR to honor him at his funeral services and accompany him to his final resting place. We are privileged to do so.
Officer Richard Octavio Ramirez was a double Hero, having served in the US Marine Corps and in Law Enforcement.
Richard served in the Marine Corps from 2000 to 2005 when he was honorably discharged at the rank of Corporal. His time served included deployments in Afghanistan.
In January, 2018 Richard went to work for the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT), Enforcement and Compliance Division (ECD) as a Police Officer. He was employed in this capacity until his unexpected passing due to COVID on 05 Sept 2021.

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 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.
