I read about that on the Kodiak radio facebook page. How tragic. Far too young to lose a life. Of course our deepest sympathies to a shipmate lost. Fair winds and following seas.

I didn’t know the young man, but his hometown of Guyton is just up the road, and I know several folks who know his family. Hillcrest Abbey is on my way to work, so I’ll make a point to stop by at some point after the services to pay my respects. I tend a couple of flagpoles at the resting places of shipmates who passed too early. If his family puts up a flagpole, I’ll put him on my list of rounds.

That is very nice. I'm glad someone will be attending from here. Please in a quiet whisper, let BM2 know we are with him and will pray for his family.
