THE LAWRENCE DAVID EZELL
MEMORIAL BIKE
On April 30, 2008, the wife and family of SFC Lawrence David Ezell of
Fort Carson were notified that this Colorado hero had been killed in
action in Baghdad, Iraq. SFC Ezell made this ultimate sacrifice that his
brothers and sisters in arms and we here, might continue on in safety
and return to peace.
Given participation by Patriot Guard Riders at services for SFC Ezell
at Arlington National Cemetery; wife Christy contacted the PGR. We were
advised that her husband would have insisted his motorcycle be donated
to the Patriot Guard, backing its mission of support to our servicemen
and women here and overseas.
After initially declining the offer as a generosity too great in its
nature, we had the honor of meeting Dave and Christy’s 2 year old son,
Tristan and our mission changed. It is now our passion to return SFC
Ezell’s beloved ZX-6 Kawasaki to like new condition, adding special
paint and detail to commemorate his life and dedication to our country.
Once complete, this motorcycle will be sold and every penny
received, plus any additional donations remaining will be
invested in an education fund turned back to his son, Tristan.
