Linney, who passed away Thursday, Oct. 17. The bikers were among those who attended the man’s service at Pederson Funeral Home and later proceeded to his interment at Rosedale Memorial Park.

Linney, age 63, was a 1966 graduate of Rockford High School, who served in the U.S. Army in the Vietnam War. He had a lifelong love of motorcycles and loved to ride his Harley with his wife, Ginny. He was a mechanic and proud owner of SuperCycle Engineering. His specialty was racing and repairing motorcycles.

The outdoorsman was also an avid hunter. He earned his pilots license and owned a 1964 Piper Cherokee. He is survived by his loving wife, Ginny Patterson; daughter, Jennifer Patterson; brother, sisters, nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, Roger and Pearl Davenport; a sister, Donna Curice; and brother, Mark Davenport.

Lord light 40 beautiful candles,

And sing happy birthday for me.

His 11th birthday in heaven,

And I wonder what his wish will be.

Tell him that I love him and miss him,

And I can’t wait to see his smile.

Place a kiss upon his cheek,

And hold him for a while.

Happy 40th birthday, Chris!

Love, your family

A tragic accident took you,

From those who love you dear.

It doesn’t seem a year.

Please know you’re not forgotten,

Your spirit does remain.

Your ELE lives on,

And supports us through the pain.

ELE—Everybody Love Everybody!

Benham II

My dearest son, it has been three years on April 20, 2008, that you went to be with your Lord in heaven. It has been the most difficult years of our lives. We miss you desperately, your laugh and hard-working hands, your voice, your love. You are so missed by your children Taylor and Trevor, your sisters and brothers, and all your other siblings, and friendship you shared with all who love you and your friends. “Rest In Peace.” The drums are still, the smoke has cleared, the battle’s done! Your loving Mom and Dad

In loving memory of our beautiful baby girl, Jessica Grace Soupal, who passed away eight years ago on March 29, 2003.

I saw a little girl today,
She reminded me of you.
Apple cheeks, rose-bud lips,
And pretty eyes of blue.
Our eyes met for a moment,
I smiled, she smiled too.
Then, before I knew it,
She disappeared from view.
I sat a little longer,
Just taking it all in.
I really can’t help but wonder,
How different life would’ve been.
If you were still here with me,Not in Heaven up above.
You’d make my life so happy,
I’d give you so much love.
But that is not reality,
Not part of God’s big plan.
So I am left just missing you,
Until we meet again.

Sadly missed and deeply loved by Mom, Dad,
Thomas, Laurin and Casey

son, brother, husband, father, friend
6/29/69–3/11/10

This week I honor and remember my husband, Andrew James Sagorski. I am no doubt a better person because of him. He has taught me to quietly listen, cook with love, garden with pride, follow a lead in dance, smile at funny one-liners, appreciate good food, be graciously hospitable, give unselfishly, love unconditionally. Our marriage has forever changed me… and the painful loss of his earthly life has forever changed me. I am thankful for the hope in heaven we have and for a day when all wrong things will be made right. We grieve so deeply for we have loved so deeply.

(I am truly humbled and thankful for my family, friends, co-workers, church, and the Rockford community for embracing our family during these last 12 months. We are blessed and eternally grateful.)

Melissa and children
