OKLAHOMA CITY -- Hundreds of bikers and law officers rode through five counties in a tribute to two heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Seminole County Sheriffs Deputy Chase Whitebird and Captain Marvin Williams were both shot and killed in the line of duty in July 2009. Hundreds of riders and fellow officers took to the streets to honor them Saturday.

"It still hits home. I can honestly say there's probably not a day that goes by that we don't think about Marvin and Chase, but this right here is what pulls us through and keeps us going, and man that's just special," said Willie Willams, Marvin Williams brother.

Amanda Bevelhymer joined her family in the ride for her cousin Chase.

"It means the world to me. It's the biggest lost I've ever had, and to honor him with just everybody around you know, not just like close family but everybody he affected," Bevelhymer said.

Friends also came out to pay tribute to the men who they said will always be in their hearts and on their minds.

"They were good kids. They was young. Their life was cut too short," said friend Terry Stone.

For Willie Williams, his brother and friend will never be forgotten.

"I believe they're looking down at us with a smile on their face," Willie Williams said.

The memorial ride was also a fundraiser. All proceeds will go to the Fallen Heroes Memorial Park, which will be located at the new Seminole County Jail.
