Brock's Last Ride at Children's Ride 7	Brock Wheaton If you have been to any of the Charity Runs you have probably seen the Seattle Cossacks perform. Brock Wheaton was a member of the Seattle Cossacks, they are all handsome guys but Brock was the one with the Bedroom Eyes!! If you've seen him you'd never forget him. He has performed in many fundraising events as a Seattle Cossack Member, for people in need. Brock left a wife Dinah and their daughter Nicole, as well as his mother Gerrie and brother Mark. Brock was a good friend and former Service Manager of Downtown Harley Davidson of Seattle, WA., member of the Seattle Cossacks and talented technical scuba diver. He was diagnosed with renal cell cancer in June 2000. Brock had a stem cell transplant on February 14th and as you know this is a very expensive procedure, and very seldom paid for by an insurance company. Whenever the Cossacks have been called upon to perform at a charity event, they are always there and can always be counted on the impress the crowd and Brock was right there doing the stunts with a smile on his face (until he became so ill). Brock had a second stem cell transplant, thanks again to his brother Mark, and it gave him a little more time. His favorite colors were orange and black (Harley and he was a true Ambassador for the Motorcycle community!
