Impressive bio . . . . was he on the 2005 TR deployment? If so, I probably shot him once or twice . . . . .
What happened to him? I don't know him but I saw the obit from a couple of friends before this thread.
I've had a few military friends and acquaintances die young of cancer, heart failure, and other health-related natural(ish) causes in their thirties and forties; those experiences are just part of being middle aged. This side of mortality is different from service-related causes and it's something that most people in their twenties do not yet appreciate.
Tragic. He had, as you and others have noted, an impressive career. Life is strange. I’ve lost friends who were at the top of their game - highly physical and well trained SpecOps types - who just go. It is always a loss to friends and the nation. I hope only the best for his family.What happened to him? I don't know him but I saw the obit from a couple of friends before this thread.

Sadly, heart related issues (e.g., heard disease) are silent killers.I’ve lost friends who were at the top of their game - highly physical and well trained SpecOps types - who just go.
