In loving memory of Valerie Ann Eaton, Support for Family

Donation protected

On August 31, 2024 we unfortunately lost Valerie Ann Eaton in a tragic motorcycle accident. She was born on October 20, 2003. Valerie was an amazing person, and she was loved and cared about by so many. We are so proud of her for everything she overcame in her life and accomplished. She bought the bike at the beginning of Summer and she has been so Happy. Valerie was growing into such a strong, caring, intelligent, person. She especially had an amazing personality and she was so funny lol. She will be missed dearly but she will forever be in our Hearts, Prayers and in Spirit. We will always be here for you Val and we will never forget you. It makes it a little bit easier to accept, because she often told us that if she passed on the bike, just know she was doing what she loved and not to worry. Its almost like she knew. Im just so thankful that everyone has been so close to each other before she passed. She comes from a Family of Gearheads, we all love Motorsports. She was so brave in life and on the bike. She was a badass Biker Girl and lived life the way she wanted and we honor her for that. She lived so much life for being only 20 years old. She did UberEats and Doordash so she had the flexibility and time to do the things she loved. And many other occupations in the past like working at a Animal Shelter. She even did contractor jobs before, she wasn't afraid to get her hands dirty lol. She also had a lot of plans for Herself, she had so much potential. She said when she was riding, that all her problems went away. She made so many amazing friends in her bike group and always said they were so real, and felt like she belonged. They have all been so supportive of Val, our Family, Friends, and each other. Everyone has been there for eachother and the love/support has been unreal and has touched our Hearts and made the process easier. They already hosted a memorial ride for her on Sep 2 which was such a beautiful day. I know she was there in spirit with us and has been. She has visited us many times already with V's in the sky, shooting stars, lots of birds, and so much more. I think she is letting us know she is okay and everything will be okay. Ride in Paradise and Fly high, We Love you Val.


We have made plans with the Funeral Home and going through that process now. For a service for Val, we are doing a Bike Run in Her name on Sep 21st. Details are on my Facebook (Ross Eaton). We have been very busy handling this. But we are staying strong. Financially its been a tough year even before this. And our Grandfather passed a year before and we're still recovering from that. On the way of leaving the Funeral home, literally as i pulled out, i did a small safe-send for her and my Transmission blew up and had to get it towed. The suspension on my car was getting unsafe and I told Val i was worried about it. i think she was protecting me from driving that car. So now i dont have a vehicle to drive. Like Val i also did UberEats/Doordash, so now i don't have any income until i get a new job. And my friend Justin had his Truck engine quit on him a couple days before she passed. its been tough. so now me and him don't have any vehicle to drive and the car we have been renting is too expensive. Which we have to return later this week. We also had some family come down from Maine which is where Val's mom is from and some other people. And they will continue to be traveling back and forth. So between all of that going on, any donations help a lot and mean so much to us, and im sure to Val. Thank you for reading and all the support everyone ❤️❤️
