The family of Jerry Lee Adelberg has invited the Patriot Guard Riders to attend the military honors of their loved one as he makes his final journey. It will be our honor to do so.
Jay, as he was known to his family and friends, served in the United States Navy from August 1976 to July 1982. He was honorably discharged as an Electronics Technician ET2. He received the Antarctic Service Medal and Sea Service Deployment Ribbon. He was involved in Operation Deep Freeze, which was a joint military mission to resupply the nation’s Antartic stations in support of the National Science Foundation.
His work career consisted of working in electronics: IT support and computer technology, Ontario Airport, and more recently worked armed security at Chase Bank.
Jay enjoyed hiking, fishing, camping, nature, and music, especially blues and jazz.
Jay is survived by his life partner, Peggy Sanders, and niece, Shayna Morrison. He is also survived by many friends.

“Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass … it’s about learning to dance in the rain.”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.
