Ed "Oldiron" Barrett was a gentle man with a heart as big as his shadow in
the late afternoon sun.  He was affectionately called "Uncle Ed" by those
close to him.

Ed's love of motorcycles goes back at least 50 years.  His wife and three
daughters have many fond memories of their motorcycle adventures.  Like all
of us that ride, most of those experiences were good, while others would
have to be chalked up as learning experiences.

Although Ed was not a veteran, he was one damn proud American.  Ed's
involvement with the Patriot Guard Riders began the first week of January
2006 when he rode with three other members in freezing temperatures 350
miles from Dallas to Wheeler, TX for his first of many Missions.  Ed soon
became a Ride Captain and organized some of the PGR's most memorable
Missions.  He later volunteered for the position of Assistant State Captain
and also held collateral duties as a Forum Moderator.

I considered Ed to be my friend, mentor, confidant and most importantly, my
brother.  I will truly miss him.

Stand Tall & Silent,

David A David aka Double D

State Captain, Patriot Guard Riders

Please Note:  We'd like to see every flag in the State available at the
funeral home at 1200.  There will be Red Hat Parking Police there to assist
with getting everyone parked and still leave room for the Barrett family.
This is being headed up by Cindy Alexander, Robert Young and Hal Horton.
All the rest of us will attempt to set the flags in the ground and then
attend both the visitation and the memorial service.  If you have any
questions please feel free to contact any of us.
