The family of Alan Fitchpatrick, age 61, has invited the Patriot Guard Riders to accompany their Hero from the airport to Frazier Park where we will hand off to our Bakersfield PGR family. He is being returned home for burial.
Alan Fitchpatrick served for several years in the US Navy and was honorably discharged at the rank of Fire Controlman First Class (E-6).
Alan unexpectedly and suddenly passed while on vacation in Washington with his wife, Lisa, to have a family reunion with siblings who were reuniting for the first time in over twenty years.
Alan was a christian man who loved God, and he loved NASCAR and his family and friends.
The most wonderful husband, father, son, uncle, brother, and “Papa”- Alan’s passing has come with unspeakable shock to us all. Many will be traveling to say goodbye.
