NORTH COUNTY — A motorcyclist was seriously injured Wednesday night while escorting a funeral procession on westbound state Route 78 east of Mar Vista Drive, the California Highway Patrol said.

About 6:40 p.m., witnesses said the rider slumped over the handlebars of his 2008 Harley-Davidson, which veered right and struck an asphalt curb on the shoulder, CHP Officer Chris Parent said. He was traveling about 65 mph at the time.

George is a Senior Ride Captain with the SoCal Patriot Guard Riders. I don't know his current condition but I ask that you please include him in your prayers.

One of his favorite quotes is by the Reverend Billy Graham: Life without God is like an unsharpened pencil, it has no point.

I received the following email update regarding Patriot Guard Rider Senior Ride Captain, George Campos.

=================================================

It is with a very heavy heart that we announce that George "Wolfman" Campos has passed away. George was on his way to a mission yesterday late afternoon, two of our other RCs were with him, Mike DrFixit and Ray TBone. George appeared to pass out while on the bike, veered right and hit a guard rail and was thrown from his bike. He was taken to Palomar Hospital where he passed away this morning. The doctors say he experienced a major stroke while on the bike and felt nothing after that, no pain.

=================================================

Thank you all for your prayers. George was a veteran who served his country during the Vietnam War, and he continued serving the military through his work with the PGR.

Rest in Peace, Brother. You have surely earned it.

Senior Ride Captain, George "Wolfman" Campos
