Recently, Virginia City lost one of her most cherished possessions, along with StinkE and several others of whom the city hold dear, Deke joined them at the great Saloon in the sky, and to watch over the city he loved so much.
Many Silent Riders along with townsfolk, joined together to say goodby, the only way they saw befitting!
The folks of Virginia City banded together to show the love they had for Deke, by dressing up in the outfits he was so well known for in town.
Many of the Silent Riders along with others from town donned their mourning black to honor Deke who passes on November 2nd, 2023
Everyone gathered for a celebration of life with tales of Deke, a small procession, capped off with several taking to the microphone on C Street to say their final goodby's
As the many gathered, they reflected on just how precious life really is and to work to let trivial issues fade away.
It was obvious just how rich in friendship Deke really was
Many traded stories and regaled with tales of lore that surrounded Dekes persona
The day was solemn as it was happy and they honored Deke by visiting the many saloons on C Street in honor of the man
Many were happy to be in each others company and trade stories of Deke
Along with StinkE, Deke and the many others that have passed before them will be fondly remembered.
The Reverend paused to remember Deke, and to ponder the future, knowing just how Deke Loved Virginia City
Silent Riders descended upon the Union Brewery to gather and enjoy libations in the early morning hours!
As Spring approaches, The Silent Riders file into town to meet up with the locals!
It's these fine folks that make the Silent Riders so Special!
Two Silent Riders pay honor and respect to one of Dekes flags
The Silent Riders gathered for an impromptu meet-up in town to celebrate the new year and catch up on the towns news!
Everyone enjoyed the company as they imbibed on whiskey and other heart warming drinks.
Even this young Australian "whipper snapper" joined in on the fun!

Hello,
I am on the planning committee for Dayton Valley Days. Last year The Silent Riders, participated in the event. Your organization was a fantastic addition to the event! This year is going to be much bigger and much better planned. Dayton Chamber Of Commmerce has taken the reigns on the planning. The event will be be focused more on Daytons early history. We would be honored by having The Silent Riders for the event! It will be Sept. 17-18. Thank you so much for last year! I hope you can make it this year!

Hello Folks it's Matt!
I just wanted to say how grateful I am for the Silent Rider's warm hospitality bestowed upon me yesterday. I went into a saloon in the afternoon and ended up spending a grand time with you folks well into the evening. Some of the folks I met were Scott, Ernie, Dylan, Lisa, Tammy & the "Mayor". There were lot's others but I can't remember all the names. You all love history as much as I do and I can't tell you how fun it was to hang out with you all! I have gone a few places wearin' my stuff and not one club has ever been so welcoming especially to a California Tourist, lol. Anyway it was hell of a lot of fun and please tell Scott I have now taken up the expensive habit of cigars to add to my vices, thanks pardner lol.
