The family of Aaron Orozco Figueroa invites the Patriot Guard Riders to participate in their loved one’s funeral services and military honors.  We are honored to do so.

Aaron proudly served in the United States Marine Corps from 2002 – 2006 and stationed at Camp Pendleton, CA.  Aaron was a combat veteran serving three tours in Iraq and Afghanistan.  Aaron was honorably discharged in 2006.

Aaron married his high school sweetheart, Sandra and together they were raising two beautiful children.

Approximately four years ago, Aaron began working for Uber on the nightshift to help make ends meet. On Friday, 24 MAR 23, at approximately 0130 hrs, Aaron’s life was tragically taken by an Uber customer.

Aaron leaves behind his wife, Sandra and his amazing 9 year old son and 3 year old daughter.

Note: 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 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 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.

Please remember that our mission is to stand tall, silent, and with honor and respect for our Heroes—no talking, smoking, or cell phone use during the flag line or service. Remember, cemeteries are hallowed ground. Show respect to all who are there, not just those we honor.
