"We are all motorcycle enthusiasts out here, and we're all just trying to show our support for a family that’s lost somebody that they loved dearly," says Quinten Gonzalez, a member of Servants for Christ Motorcycle Ministry.
Gonzalez and several other members of the group made their way to Dillon from Helena to join over two dozen cyclists to lead the funeral procession for Enoch Haworth.
"He loved motorcycles, so we decided to make the trip out here to support the family," says Gonzalez.
Hundreds of people gathered at a local event center to pay their respects to Enoch. Over the past week, the community has raised over $30,000 for his family through a GoFundMe account.

"From what I understand, Enoch was a very adventurous, very excited kid, and there’s nothing more exciting than riding a motorcycle. So, I hope to show a little of Enoch in all of us," says Gonzalez.
The driver involved in the deadly crash that claimed the child’s life has been charged with Negligent Homicide. His bond is set at $25,000 surety or $10,000 cash. Community members are also pushing for safety updates at the intersection.
