The fiancee and family of Arturo Morales have invited the Patriot Guard to help honor their hero and we are proud to do so.
Arturo Morales served from 1971 to 1975 in the U.S. Air Force, both as a Medic in Vietnam and a Radiology Specialist at his other duty stations. Additionally, Arturo worked as an X-Ray Technician for the past 41 years and specialized as a Cardiovascular X-Ray Tech for the past 18. He was also the Imaging Coordinator for the Cardio Lab at Keck Hospital (part of the USC network).
In his spare time, Arturo loved riding his Harley, Daytona and motorcycle racing, the Dodgers, basketball and football. His passions were many, including reading and writing poetry. His musical tastes were also eclectic - ranging from the Doors, Beatles, and Pink Floyd to Mexican Corridos and Mariachi.
Arturo is survived by his fiancee (Agnes Johns), mother (Teodora Lira), brothers (Eduardo and Bob), sisters (Ana and Hilda), children (Marco and Leticia), step-children (Veronica and Benjamin) and grandchildren (Cheyenne, Dayzah, Katelyn and Collin).
