The family of Jeffrey Porter Alling has requested Patriot Guard Riders participation in his military honors funeral services. Jeffrey, 74, passed on Thursday, 24 March 2024 in Zephyrhills, FL.

Born in Albany, NY, Jeffrey entered the United States Marine Corps in 1967 and was trained as an Aircraft Hydraulic Pneumatic Mechanic (MOS 6052). He served 3 years and 8 months on active duty, including a 13 months tour of duty in Vietnam. He was honorably discharged on 15 January 1971 at the rank of Private First Class (E-2), and for his service, was awarded a Combat Action Ribbon, Good Conduct Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Vietnam Service Medal w/1 Bronze Service Star and a Republic of Vietnam Campaign Medal w/60 Device.

Jeff was a Residential Contractor renowned for his talent in drawing blueprints and constructing beautiful works for his customers. Outside of his professional life, Jeff enjoyed spending time with his dear friends and family, riding and building Harley Davidsons, hunting with The Albany County Fish and Game Club, camping and fishing with his loved ones, and playing cards. Jeff was an avid participant in his VA support groups where he built lifelong friendships.
