The wife of retired U.S Army, 82nd Airborne, Eric Jay Johnson has requested the participation of the Patriot Guard Riders at the final farewell for Eric. Eric was a veteran of Desert Shield and Desert Storm and lost his life in a motorcycle accident in Ohio.
Visitation and memorial services will be at Follis and Son Funeral Home, 700 Plaza Drive, Fredericktown, Missouri
Visitation: Friday, June 13th
Family Visitation will begin at 4:00pm
Public visitation begins at 5:00pm-?
The PGR will stage at the funeral home at 3:30pm to stand a flagline in honor of Eric.
Memorial Services will be at 11:00am on Saturday, June 14th.
PGR staging will be at 10:00am at the funeral home to stand a flagline and attend services, for those PGR members who would like to.
There will be no escort for this mission.
Eric loved his Country, and like many of us, his motorcycle. Bikes are more then welcome but do not hesitate to bring your cage to honor this fallen hero.
Acting Ride Captain is Deb "Ladynighthawk" Sevier |

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

The Fallen...
Through Their Memory
They Still Give...
We thought of you with love today
But that is nothing new.
We thought about you yesterday
And days before that too.
We think of you in silence
We often speak your name.
Now all we have are memories
And your picture in a frame.
Your memory is our keepsake
With which we'll never part
God has you in His keeping
We have you in our Heart.
Life is unpredictable, so to try and predict what is ahead is only asking for disappointment. Just live it as we can. Love and love of life will help us be guided in our decisions as we go forward.

Weapon in my hand, ready to roll
Here we go again- our nightly patrol.
Over here it’s the same thing, night after night
Only difference it seems is whether or not there’s a fight.
Sometimes it is easy-going, calm as can be
It’s times like that which worry me.
Gotta stay alert cause you never know
If there is something ahead that’s gonna blow.
One more time we’ll make our rounds
Always praying to make it back to our “home” grounds.
But if by enemy hands we are taken out tonight
Just know it won’t be easy, it will be one hell of a fight.
Whether we’re Army, Navy, Air Force or Marine
We are the toughest boys you have ever seen.
