The family has invited the Patriot Guard Riders to be present and accompany their hero, Luis Morales, from Rosamond to Riverside National Cemetery. We are honored to do so.
PFC Luis Morales served in the the U.S Marine Corps from Feb 13, 2001 until Feb 12, 2005 at which time he was honorably discharged. After his discharge Luis served in the Army National Guard in Los Alamitos from 2006 until 2014.
While riding his Harley to work Luis collided with a car that crossed in the path due to distracted driving.
Luis work at BYD in Lancaster and he had just received a promotion to the engineering dept. Luis' hobbies included coaching his two boys ages 7 and 11, and his daughter age 12, in football and soccer. He also loved watching any movies related to the military.
Luis is survived by his wife Christina and his three children and a loving family.
