When a group of tough bikers found out that a Marine’s remains were set to be shipped home to his mother in a box, they were appalled. They weren’t about to sit back and do nothing. Instead, they quickly stepped in. Staff Sgt. Johnathan Turner passed away in California at just 41 years old after serving seven tours in Iraq and Afghanistan with the Marine Corps. Sadly, when the brave marine died from combat-related issues, his mother, who lives in Georgia, couldn’t make the trip to California to get her son’s ashes. However, one group of bikers couldn’t live with the thought of Turner going home in a FedEx box. So, riders across several states worked together to return Staff Sgt. Johnathan Turner’s ashes to his mother in Georgia, in a more dignified way. And, it was quite the sight to behold. “We did this primarily because his mother was unable to attend the services,” Oklahoma Patriot Guard Riders Captain David Noble said.
