The United States Navy and family of Paul N. Harrison, 27, have requested the Patriot Guard Riders accompany their hero to his final resting place. We are honored to fulfill their request.
AT2 Harrison spent nine years with the United States Navy as an Aviation Electronics Technician Two (AT2), Fleet Center Readiness West, Lemoore, CA at the time of his passing. He was a dependable and hard-working individual with a steadfast commitment to his country, always willing to help others.
Paul had a love for the outdoors enjoying his favorite pastimes - snow skiing/boarding, hiking, camping, and riding his motorcycle on the open road. He was also a Star Wars fanatic with an extensive collection of memorabilia, as well immersed himself playing video games with family and friends.
Paul is survived by his loving wife, Rachel, and their son, Kaius, who were the center of his world. He was the cherished son to Alicia Harrison. He also leaves behind his brother, Joshua (Lee), niece and nephew, Evelyn and Isaiah, and grandmothers, Inez Ellis, Georgia Gallagher, and Deloris Harrison. He will be remembered as a beacon of light that brightened their family.

For those interested, and all PGR members are welcome, we will be accompanying the hero and his family from the mortuary to the cemetery, approximately 14 miles.
