The family of Rudolph Steven Gomez 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.
Rudolph was born on 28 December 1950 and entered into Eternal Rest on 1 August 2021.
Rudolf served in the United States Marine Corps from 17 July 1969 to 16 July 1971, as an Infantry Assaultman during the Vietnam War. He earned the Vietnam Service Medal w/Star, the Vietnam Campaign Medal w/Device, Combat Action Ribbon, and SharpShooter Rifle Badge. Rudolph was Honorably Discharged as a Lance Corporal.
After his service to his country, Rudolph worked for the City of Montclair for 31 years. He was a Los Angeles Dodger and Ranger fan and loved fishing, camping, grilling, golf and karaoke. He is survived by his wife, Irma; daughter Jacqueline Armenta (Robert), and son, Steven Gomez (Jennifer).

You do not have to be a Veteran or a motorcycle rider to attend this mission. All PGR members are 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.
