Patriot Guard riders were present at the visitation Tuesday, June 22, at Arnold’s Funeral Home in Canton and at Alexander Campbell Auditorium and Merillat Chapel Wednesday, June 23.
The Patriot Guard Riders appear at services only when requested by the family. Sutton’s youngest sister and brother-in-law, Lynne and George Johnson are members of the PGR, who helped arrange for the riders to be in Canton.
