Honor Mission

Calvin Preson Pitchford, Retired, PGR

USAF –
Elizabeth City, North Carolina – 08-18-19

With a saddened and heavy heart I inform my fellow Patriots we must now stand for one of our own. The Rev. Preston Pitchford passed tragically and his family has requested our presence at his Celebration of Life. Achieving the rank of Master Sergeant in the USAF and a former Royal Ranger Commander, Preston went on to complete his studies at the USAF College. He was a leader among men. He was the pastor of his own church and committed his life to helping his fellow man. He was the lead of the M25 Christian MC in the area and was instrumental in bringing all the MC groups in the Elizabeth City and surrounding areas together to support each other. He would never hesitate to stop what he was doing to come to aid to a fellow biker, church member or friend in need, sometimes cutting his vacation short to rush home to be by their side. Preston felt so compelled by the PGR Mission that he would always make an appearance, allowing time in his busy schedule to stand for a fellow veteran. So much could be said about the man he was. Now we will stand and honor his work here on Earth.
