The family of Pablo Ivan Reyes Jr., has invited the Patriot Guard Riders to attend the military honors of their loved one as he makes his final journey. It will be our honor to do so.
Pablo served in the United States Army from 09/17/2002 to 08/17/2006. He received the ARCOM w/ V device for his selfless actions during a mission in Iraq. Sadly, Pablo succumbed to effects of Agent Orange.
In addition to RC cars and collecting Ironman/Marvel collectibles and comics, Pablo enjoyed music, dancing, shopping, cooking, soccer, and spending quality time with his family. He also loved his dogs Cody, Enzo, Bugsy, and Luna, and enjoyed watching eagles.
Pablo leaves behind his wife, Vicky; brothers, Marco Reyes and Alexander Reyes, who is currently Army active. He is also survived by his mother, Maricela Padilla, father, Pablo Reyes, Sr., and nephew, Nathan Reyes.

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 Ride Captain (RC). 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.
