Per request of our good friend and PGR member Gregg “Digger” Walker (Walker Family Funeral Services), the family of Alfred Worren Barker has 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.
Alfred of Bloomington was born on 17 August 1932 in Missouri and entered into Eternal Rest on 13 November 2018 in Riverside.
Alfred enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1952 proudly serving his country during the Korean War. He was honorably discharged as a Corporal in 1955.
After the military Alfred became a talented welder in the heavy equipment field for forty years.
Alfred was a talented rodeo cowboy and roper in his leisure time. One of his accomplishments included playing a cowboy in one of John Wayne’s movies.
Alfred is survived by his son Al(fred) W. Jr. and daughter-in-law Carrie.
NOTE: This mission posting is to facilitate your voluntary participation in honoring this Military Veteran. For those interested, and all are welcome, we will be accompanying the hero and his family from the church to his final resting place. Please see the time table if you would like to participate. For those who would rather go directly to the cemetery, we will meet you there.

You do not have to be a Veteran or a motorcycle rider to attend this mission. Everyone is 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 R/C (Ride Captain). 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.
