MidgetTodd Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 (edited) Some of you may know already from Facebook but a fellow rider took his last corner Weds evening. Freak accident on an on ramp took him from us. The Rawlins brothers have a memorial erected for him at the site and John has asked that we get a group together to ride the precession from the service to the grave site as the Junkies did for their fallen and we did for Shawn's dad. I realize that many of you here did not know Garrett since he is not a member but he is friends with some of us members and is a fellow rider and hopefully that is good enough for you to attend. Those that did not know him are not expected to go in for the service but it would be great if you would show to escort his final ride to his resting place. It will be on Weds the 11th at noon if you can attend please do. If you need further info feel free to ask in this thread or PM either Me, Carwhore or Rawlins87. please also post up if you will be attending. Here is a link to more info and thank you. http://www.schoedinger.com/obituaries/Garrett-Weidner/As an added benefit I will lead a ride thru the twisties afterwards if wanted as thanks for your attending.

chevysoldier Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 I would ride like I did for Shawn's dad, but missing any work next week is not an option. I hope you get a lot of people to go and be safe on the ride afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carwhore Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 Funeral is at 12. Then leaving the funeral home at 1:30 to go to the cemetery. The funeral home is schedinger (sp) on 62 by the YMCA, and the cemetery is in gahanna as well. If you don't want to attend the funeral that is fine just be there by 1:15 to be able to ride.Rain or shine ill be on my bike and my brother will as well. Please lets make this big. I know most of you didn't know Garrett, but he was my friend and I can't express the gratitude I would give you if you could make it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
