Per the request of our good friends at Risher Mortuary and the family of Ronald Gene Norwood, we have 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.
Ronald was born on 07 July 1953 in Oklahoma and entered Eternal Rest on 30 May 2022 in Westwood.
Ronald was in the Air Force from 1972 to 1974 during the Vietnam Conflict and trained as a Fire Protection Specialist. His awards/citations included the National Defense Service Medal. Ronald received his honorable discharge as an Airman First Class from Travis Air Force Base, California.
Ronald worked in the Maintenance Department at the V.A. Hospital for over twenty-five years.
Ronald is survived by his brother Timothy and sisters Betty and Gladys. He also leaves behind many nieces and nephews. Ronald is predeceased by his mom and dad, Elree and Robert, and grandparents Susie and Clarence Jones.

Standing For Those Who Stood For Us"
"Riding With Respect”
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 participate in your car. If this is your first mission, go to the initial staging area, and you will be briefed by the R/C (Ride Captain). Dress for motorcycle riding or wear casual attire if you are driving a cage (car). Please feel free to attend any portion of this mission you can. Please ride/drive safely.
Remember that our mission is to stand tall and silent 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. Remember, cemeteries are hallowed ground. Show respect to all who are there, not just the ones we honor.
