The family of MNSC Robert McQuiddy, 45, and the US Navy have invited the Patriot Guard Riders to honor their Hero with an accompany to his final resting place, we will be honored to do so.
Senior Chief McQuiddy enlisted in the US Navy in 1999 and had served over 22 years at the time of his unexpected passing. He was preparing to retire in December, 2021. He had an exemplary career in the Navy as a Mineman, specializing in leadership and training and was respected and revered by all who knew him and worked with him.
He also found time to support some charities he held dear, the Wounded Warrior Project and RADY Children's Hospital were two of them.
