Strength For Every Story
In loving memory of Colton Edmiston McKennen - a free spirit who lived life with fearless energy and an adventurous heart. Colton loved riding bikes, chasing freedom and making the most out of every moment. Spontaneous, fearless and full of life, he brought laughter and unforgettable memories to the people around him. His passion for riding and the community he built led him to create Savage Riders LLC, a name that represented his fearless spirit, loyalty, and love for adventure.
In October of 2024, Colton suffered a traumatic brain injury following a devastating accident that forever changed the lives of those who loved him. Ultimately passing from his injuries, his loss became a heartbreaking reminder of how quickly life can change and why traumatic brain injury awareness, prevention, and support matter so deeply.
Colton and Jordan shared a bond long before tragedy ever touched their lives. Today, and everyday, we honor not only their individual stories, but the bond they shared and the lives they continue to inspire through Sweitzer Strong.

Our Story
On October 10, 2020, life changed forever for Jordan Sweitzer and everyone who loves him. Jordan was riding as a passenger on a dirt bike when the driver, going too fast, lost control. Jordan was thrown from the bike, sliding more than 40 feet before his head struck a cement water cover. He was not wearing a helmet, and the impact caused a severe Traumatic Brain Injury.
Jordan was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, WA, where he spent days fighting for his life. After eight days on a ventilator, the medical team presented his family with an impossible decision. Jordan’s father spoke to him, believing Jordan could hear him-asking for a sign that he wanted to continue the fight. Jordan responded by moving his mouth and trying to open his eyes. In that moment, the family knew: Jordan wasn’t done fighting.
That day, Sweitzer Strong was born-not just as a phrase, but as a promise to stand with Jordan through every challenge, every milestone, and every miracle. It became a rallying cry for strength, hope, and perseverance.
