Deacon was always a fighter. A fighter for motorcycle rights, everyones rights,  and a fighter for life and for freedom. He fought for his life in the final days after his accident. Now he is free to ride with God.

The days have melted into months yet, seems just yesterday, God touched  your heart and called you home, you could no longer stay. The year since then  has been a test for those you left behind. But love, friendship and brotherhood will stand the test of time.
Always & Forever, Red

Mike Foreman - 1964 - 2003

Sunday, September 21, 2003, Mike Foreman was traveling with the flow of traffic north along state road 77 at the intersection of Baldwin Road in Panama City approaching the city limits of Lynn Haven. He had been traveling in the right lane slightly behind another vehicle in the left lane. As they approached the intersection, a 39 year old female traveling south went into her left turn lane and traveled through. She was so close that the vehicle just ahead of Mike had to swerve left to avoid hitting her, but, this allowed her to proceed and Mike crashed into the passenger door apparently without ever having a chance to brake. He was rushed to Bay Medical center where he later died of injuries he sustained to his head. He was wearing a helmet as he always did, but, this didn't prevent the fatal injuries.
