The Gary Burr Memorial Fund

Gary was tragically killed in a motorcycle accident on June 18th, 2022. He leaves behind a wife, two daughters and three grandchildren.

We started this memorial fund to help other families who have lost a husband and/or father to a motorcycle accident by donating towards funeral expenses. We hope Gary’s legacy lives on through the Gary Burr Memorial Fund. Donations can be made at any Huntington Bank location. If you would like to mail a check please message me for the address. All proceeds go directly to families in need. Please check back for future fundraising events. Thank you for your generosity.

This riding season has already been tragic for far too many families.

To every rider: Remember, it’s not the destination—it’s the ride. Take your time, ride smart, wear your gear, and make safety your priority. The people who love you are waiting for you to come home.

To every driver: Please take that extra moment to look twice. Motorcycles are smaller and easier to miss, but every rider is someone’s spouse, parent, child, grandparent, sibling, or friend.

The most important destination is home. Let’s all do our part to make sure everyone sharing the road gets there safely.

“One road. One responsibility. Countless lives worth protecting.”

I would like to thank City BBQ in Solon for supplying the food for the Gary Burr Memorial Fund Poker Run.

I am overwhelmed by the generosity, kindness, and support that was shown yesterday during the Gary Burr Memorial Fund Poker Run.

There were many familiar faces, which always warms my heart, and there were also many new faces who quickly became new friends.

Yesterday, I had the privilege of meeting a very special woman who lost her husband in June of 2025. Due to distance and circumstances, I do not always get the opportunity to meet the families we help. Being able to talk with her, listen to her story, and give her a hug brought great meaning to what yesterday was truly about.

Yesterday, we remembered a great man, Gary Burr, along with the many other riders who have lost their lives in tragic accidents. Yesterday, we showed families and fellow riders that they are never alone. Yesterday, we were reminded of the tremendous love, respect, and compassion our community has for us, for Gary’s memory, and for the riding community as a whole.

“Thank you” seems far too small a phrase to express the gratitude we feel. Please know how incredibly grateful we are to everyone who attended, donated, volunteered, sponsored, and supported this event. Your kindness and generosity are truly priceless.

I would like to extend a special thank you to American Legion #685 for allowing us to use the hall and for their unwavering support and assistance. Thank you to all of the volunteers who staffed the stops, helped with setup on Friday, served food to our hungry riders, and stayed to help clean up afterward. Thank you to the bartenders who came in early and kept everyone’s drinks full throughout the day. Thank you to Bill Poston and Country Fried for providing great music and for staying well beyond their scheduled time to keep the celebration going. And thank you to my family and friends who donated baskets, gift cards, memorabilia, and their time.

Yesterday was a beautiful reminder that even through loss, we can come together to support one another, honor those we miss, and make a difference for families facing unimaginable heartbreak.

I hope to see all of you again next year.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Today is the day! The weather is beautiful, and we couldn’t ask for a better day to gather for the 4th Annual Gary Burr Memorial Fund Poker Run.

Today is about remembering those we’ve lost.
Today is about bringing our community together.
Today is about raising money to help families facing the unimaginable tragedy of losing a loved one in a motorcycle accident.
Today is about letting those families know they are not alone.

Not a rider? That’s okay! Cars are welcome.

Can’t commit to the entire day? That’s okay too! Join us later for dinner, a live band, our 50/50 raffle, and Chinese auction.

🎵 The band starts at 4:00 PM!

We hope to see you there as we honor those we’ve lost, support families in need, and continue Gary’s legacy of helping others 🧡

Four years ago, we lost a great man. Gary wasn’t just a great man—he was a devoted husband, a loving father, and a proud grandfather. Gary didn’t have a large circle of friends, but the friendships he had were deeply valued. He was the person who showed up when you needed him, no matter what was happening in his own life. He always seemed to know the right words to say and the right thing to do.

Gary’s desire to ride quickly became a passion. He loved the freedom that riding offered—the chance to unplug from technology, explore places he had never been, and meet new friends along the way. The motorcycle community became an important part of his life, and he embraced every mile and every friendship it brought.

Today, we ask you to take a moment to remember Gary and the many riders who are no longer with us.

Join us this Saturday as we honor Gary’s memory and help support the families of fallen riders as they navigate life’s most difficult challenges.

Your presence and support mean more than words can express. Together, we can keep Gary’s legacy alive and continue helping others in his memory. ❤️🏍️

You do not need to be a rider to attend — everyone is welcome!

Every year, many families face the devastating loss of a loved one due to a motorcycle fatality. The Gary Burr Memorial Fund was created to help ease the financial burden these families face by providing assistance with final arrangements for their husband or father.

The Gary Burr Memorial Fund Poker Run is our largest fundraiser of the year, with all proceeds going directly to funeral homes to help support the families of fallen riders.

We invite you to join us on June 20, 2026. By attending, you will not only be helping families in need, but you will also be honoring the memory of a great man, Gary Burr, who lost his life on June 18, 2022.
