This is Part 2 of a 2 Part Mission
The United States Army and the family of PFC Patryck Juezan, 22, have invited the Patriot Guard Riders to accompany their Hero from the mortuary to his final resting place. We are honored to do so.
Patryck joined the United States Army in September 2022 and passed away unexpectedly on July 20, 2023, in Fort Liberty, North Carolina. He was a bright, faith-filled, and kind individual whose intelligence and determination were evident in everything he did.
He was an exemplary student from a very young age. He graduated from Segerstrom High School in Santa Ana, California, at the tender age of 16. He didn't stop there; he pursued his education further, earning an Associate's Degree from Orange Coast College. His intellectual curiosity was insatiable, and he developed a recent interest in Criminology, with aspirations of becoming a forensics accountant.
In his professional life, Patryck demonstrated the same drive and commitment that he did in his personal life. He joined the military and became an integral part of the 127th Airborne Engineer Battalion, 1st BCT, 82nd Airborne Division in the US Army, a role he embraced with complete dedication. During basic training, he led his MIT Class, showcasing his natural leadership skills. Patryck held himself to very high standards and was known for his discipline, analytical mind, and mental sharpness.
