In the early 2010s, Randy "Houndog" Henry was commissioned to build a memorial to fallen motorcyclists. He added names every year to the beautiful memorial located in Spring Valley, Illinois. It was called the Illinois Valley Fallen Bikers Memorial.
In 2024, the original site of the memorial was sold, and organizers were unable to secure it from the new owners. As a result, Henry decided to create a brand new memorial for fallen bikers and locate it at the Vietnam Veterans of Illinois Bunker in Sunnyland. Fundraising began in 2024 and engraving and placement of the Central Illinois Fallen Biker Memorial continued into 2025.
