Friends of Capt. Kevin Garland will hold a pancake breakfast on Saturday, July 2 at the Civil Air Patrol headquarters building at Big Bear City Airport.
Civil Air Patrol members and friends will serve breakfast from 8 to 11:30 a.m. with proceeds going to the Garland family. Garland was serving as the unit's Deputy Commander for Cadets at the time of his death; his sons are current CAP cadets.
Garland was killed May 4 in a head-on collision on Highway 18. He was heading home from work at Patton State Hospital where he was a director. He lived in the Twin Peaks area.
Breakfast includes pancakes, eggs, sausage, juice and coffee. Friends from Big Bear to Twin Peaks will help to serve and entertain. Garland was the sole bread winner for the family. He is survived by his wife, Lisa, and their three sons.
“We expect a good turnout since in the past this has been a very popular breakfast,” said John Connelly, commander of Squadron 6750. “Now with the emphasis on raising funds for the Garland family, we expect this to be more popular than ever.”
The Civil Air Patrol headquarters building is at 100 W. Meadow Lane, Big Bear City, at the northeast corner of the airport. Members will provide tours of the building.
