Serve Our Willing Warriors recently participated
in Davey’s Battle Brothers Ride! They had a great turn out despite the wet
weather that would have normally turned away so many. With 69 participants
registered and ready to go, Serve Our Willing Warriors was the grateful recipient
of the designated proceeds. The beloved Sonja Ruhren was the organizer of this
event. Below is a picture of her and Davey’s Bike.
Following up to the event,
Sonja shared a very heartfelt memorial about Davey and we would like to share
below:
David’s greatest
accomplishment in life was simply being David Alan Ruhren. A young man with a
compassion for all living things and respect for all that came in his presence.
A protector for all who couldn’t protect themselves and a friend you could
always count on. His smile, sense of humor and gentleness could always make a
bad day seem so much better. He admired and loved his grandparents with every
ounce of his soul and held all members of his family dear to his heart. David
Alan Ruhren is a young man who never had to debate right from wrong and would
always give more than he ever took. This amazing young man will always be a
blessing and a gift to the earth, but had more to offer and more things to do
beyond than this planet could hold. His presence touched more souls than most
will ever realize. He accomplished more in his short time than most adults ever
will. His unconditional sense of self will forever be remembered, and his love
forever missed. This is David Alan Ruhren.
This ride was in honor of
this courageous soul who elected to protect our nation. We were so honored to
be apart of this event. Together we are able to make a difference in the lives
of the wounded warriors and their families all because of the selfless
sacrifice of an amazing soldier.
May we always remember the
sacrifice Davey made protecting our country and many more like him who together
keep our nation safe. Davey was commemorated with the purple heart.
Here are a couple photos we snagged from the event below:
