"A soldiers life was what he wanted. He was proud of this country and to serve this country. He was actually in my home when this war began, and of course I started to cry and he said, 'Mama, you know I'm going,'" says Linda Lamie.
He was survived by his wife Dara and three year-old daughter and eight-month-old son.
A Memorial Service will be held at Shepard's Funeral Home in Folkston, Saturday at 11:00 AM. His funeral will be held at Arlington National Cemetery in Washington DC, on July 18th.
