Trooper Jack Bouthillier, of the Royal Canadian Dragoons, was killed in a roadside bomb blast on March 20, 2009. After losing his son in Afghanistan, Raynald Bouthillier wanted to honour the young soldier with a truck mural.

Jack Bouthillier's beaming face is part of a mural on one of the trucks in the fleet of Raynald's transport company. The mural is dedicated to Bouthillier and all the soldiers in Afghanistan. Desert scenes featuring soldiers, tanks and helicopters adorn the truck. On the back of the truck's cab is a list of the 158 Canadian soldiers killed in Afghanistan.

The soldier's memory is also honoured with a mural on Raynald's pick up truck and Harley-Davidson.
