Justesen, 22, was killed June 23 in Ganjkin, a village in Farah province. He
was assigned to Fort Bragg. He would have ended his Afghanistan tour this
month ... ...

Full News:
The 2000 graduate returned after earning a bachelor's degree in sports
management from California University of Pennsylvania to coach students in
track and cross country. He also volunteered with several youth sports
programs.

"He was a great young man and a great coach and role model," said Kerry
Hetrick, the school's athletic director. "The kids looked up to him. He was
always visible and working with the students."

Hoover, 29, had a second career. He was a member of the Pennsylvania

National Guard, based in Connellsville, Pa., and a former Marine.

"It was his childhood dream to be in the military — that was all we ever played
as kids," said his brother, Rick Hoover. "It was what he lived and died for."

Gunnar Hotchkin wasn't keen on the idea of going to Afghanistan, but it was a
way to provide for his family, and he was all about that.

The 31-year-old paratrooper from Naperville, Ill., was one of two soldiers who
died June 16 in North Kunduz of wounds from a roadside bombing. He was
assigned to Fort Bragg.

Since childhood, Hotchkin had exhibited charisma and a great sense of

leadership, as well as a memorable smile, said Preston Bokos, a longtime
friend. Hotchkin worked hard, kept people laughing and supported his team,

whether it was at a swim meet or in combat.

He graduated from Hinsdale Central High School in 1997 and was an All-
American swimmer. He worked as a superintendent for a home-building
company and enlisted in 2009 after being laid off.

When he was overseas, his sister-in-law said Hotchkin was "living phone call
to phone call" to hear the voices of his wife, Erin, as well as his sons, Ethan
and Tristan, and stepdaughter, Taylor.

James Hunter was a storyteller who put his talents to use at the Army's public
affairs office. He was an Army journalist, assigned to Fort Campbell who
worked hard at his job.

Hunter once ran his brigade's public affairs office for several months because
no commissioned officer was available to handle the job, Brig. Gen. Thomas
Richardson said.

Hunter, 25, was on a much different assignment on June 18. He was on foot
patrol in Kandahar, Afghanistan, when his unit was bombed. He died in the
blast. He had arrived in Afghanistan less than a month earlier, having served
two previous tours in Iraq.

"He had an enormously important responsibility to see that not only soldiers'
families knew about the lives of their soldiers, but also to help the American
public understand the life of a soldier in war time," Gudgell posted on a
newspaper website.

Hunter joined the Army in 2003 after graduating from Firelands High School in
Oberlin, Ohio. He had proposed to his girlfriend, Candice Clark, on Valentine's
Day.

They were always on his mind, as shown in the last posting he left on
Facebook, about his wife: "Savannah is having a real problem with this
deployment, and I pray to God that He will watch over her and my children."

She was pregnant with his fourth child when he was killed by a roadside
bomb June 7 in Konar, Afghanistan. The baby will be named after his father,
pastor Trey Smart said at Jirtle's funeral.

He was the youngest of five brothers, which was a good thing when they sent
him to persuade his father and mother, Virginia, to give the boys money for
ice cream. It was more of a challenge at other times, such as their home
wrestling matches after family bowling on Friday nights.

"So he would call you in the middle of a minefield and say 'Hey mom, guess
where I'm at,'" the Rev. W. Glen Gardener said at Johnson's memorial.

Johnson, 24, of Flint, Mich., was one of two soldiers who died June 16 at
North Kunduz, Afghanistan, of wounds from an improvised explosive device.
He enlisted in the Army in 2006 and was assigned to Fort Bragg.

"Joey was such a hard worker and full of life," said Jim Pope, a church youth
director who led Johnson and other high school students on mission trips to
low-income neighborhoods. "He really was the guy everyone wanted around."

The 2004 graduate of Carman-Ainsworth High School was witty and didn't
mind taking risks. That made raising him an adventure for his parents, Dennis
and Teri.

Letters from loved ones that were read at his funeral reflected on his sense of

How Did Farrah s Baby Daddy Die Page 3 of 6

humor, his daring stunts and his love for his family.

"Within five minutes of meeting me he was hugging me," Steven Rehder said.
"One of my fondest memories of my son was when I took him to start school.
He was 8 years old and he was hugging his teachers like they were family
members."

Justesen, who was from Wilsonville, Ore., attended St. Luke's Academy in
nearby Woodburn. He earned a GED through the Oregon National Guard's
Youth Challenge program and then joined the military.

"He wanted to go out and serve and protect. And I have no clue where he got
this from. It's all him. I haven't been in the Army, my dad didn't serve; this all
came from Tony's heart," Rehder said.

He also is survived by family members who include his mother, Shawna;

sisters Teniele Justesen, 23, Samantha Justesen, 20, and Kimberley Rehder,
12; and half-brother Jeromie Rehder, 15.

He joined the Army in 2007 after graduating from General Brown Central High
School in Dexter, N.Y. Soon he was serving in Iraq, and later Afghanistan.

The 22-year-old died June 8 in a vehicle accident in Gerda Serai,

Afghanistan. He was stationed at his birthplace, Fort Campbell, Ky., where
the family lived during his father's service.

His brother, Kris Klusacek, also is a Fort Campbell soldier. The two had talked
about the possibility of death, and each promised to take care of the other's
family should something happen to one of them.

"I've been pretty strong through this whole thing. ... I know he would be, so I'm
just trying to fulfill it," Kris Klusacek said. Klusacek also is survived by his
parents, Ronald and Sheila Klusacek.

After losing part of his right foot in a roadside bombing in Iraq, he spent a year
recuperating and getting fitted with a prosthesis but decided to stick with the
Army.

The 22-year-old from Owasso, Okla., died June 21 at Lar Sholtan Village in
Afghanistan of wounds from a suicide bomber attack. He was assigned to
Fort Campbell and had served in Iraq.

Brenda Casey, the principal of Mills Elementary School, said she

remembered Looney as a "little kid with a big heart" and expressive eyes.

Loredo died June 24, a day before his 35th birthday, at Jelewar, Afghanistan,
when insurgents bombed his unit. The Houston native and Sam Houston High
School graduate was assigned to Fort Bragg. He also served in Iraq.

She deployed to Afghanistan earlier this year. In the meantime, he moved

their family into a new house, picked out the furniture and set it up, Huff said.

Relatives said Loredo was a family guy whose romantic side came out when
he cooked for his wife. They said he adored his children, 2-year-old Eddie, 7-
year-old Laura and 13-year-old Alexis.

Lukeala, 23, of Yigo, Guam, was killed June 7 by a roadside bomb in Konar.
His remains were returned home to Guam on Father's Day in a flag-draped
casket, and a ceremony was held for him in an air cargo warehouse in Tiyan.

"He like all the other soldiers out there are fighting for our freedom," said

http://newseverywhere.info/how-did-farrah-s-baby-daddy-die/ 8/4/2010
How Did Farrah s Baby Daddy Die Page 4 of 6

Lukeala's aunt Therese Guzman. "It's very unfortunate that it's Father's Day
and his father had to bring him home."

Lukeala enlisted soon after graduating from Simon Sanchez High School in
2005. He was assigned to Fort Campbell and completed an Iraq tour before
his deployment to Afghanistan.

"He was a true blue soldier ... a soldier that never did anything wrong," said
Guam National Guard Maj. Gen. Donald Goldhorn, who attended the
ceremony last month for Lukeala.

"He made up songs, not real songs, but funny songs, just to make everyone
laugh," said his sister, Lindsey Madden. "He was a riot, always singing and
dancing."

Family and friends remembered his dedication to the children he coached in

Pee Wee football, but especially the sacrifice he made for his 4-year-old son
Parker. The boy suffers from the genetic disease cystic fibrosis, and Madden
enlisted in the military to make sure his son always had good medical care.

"Where he had been working he had no benefits or anything like that, so he

joined because he knew that Parker would always be taken care of no matter
what," Lindsey Madden said.

Russell Madden, 29, of Dayton, Ky., was killed June 23 in Konar province,
Afghanistan, when his vehicle was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade. He was
based in Germany.

He also was remembered as a speedy, athletic football player who would run
through Bellevue High School's hallways and steps to stay in shape when it
was too cold to train outside.

He'd previously worked on the security detail at Camp David, the presidential
retreat, and even called home to talk about playing basketball with President
Barack Obama. Then he was assigned to Camp Pendleton and requested a
combat assignment in Afghanistan.

Marler had been a basketball player at school and enjoyed other sports,
including football, swimming and track, she said. He graduated in 2006 from
Oakville Senior High School but skipped commencement to join the Marines.

Michael McGahan had it all planned out: He married his high school
sweetheart, Miranda. He was to continue his career serving and leading in the
military. And she would go to medical school.

McGahan's grandfathers had served in World War II, and that stirred his
interest in being the military. He had hoped to be a career officer, said his
uncle Sam McGahan Jr.

Michael McGahan, 23, of Orlando, Fla., was killed June 6 in Nangarhar

province, Afghanistan, when his unit came under attack. His family said
everyone had hit the ground during the firefight, and the soldiers were then
given the all-clear to get up. McGahan was the only one who didn't get up.

Miller, known to family members and friends by his middle name, played
lineman for the Saratoga Springs High School varsity football team for two
years. He joined the Army straight out of high school last summer and
distinguished himself as a marksman.

His aunt, Suzanne Diorio, said he and his mother, Leslie Miller, moved to
Wilton, N.Y., to be close to his grandparents and her. His father, Jesse Miller,

lives in Madison Heights, Va.

Miller was deployed to Afghanistan in May. He was killed June 21 when a

suicide bomber attacked a checkpoint he was guarding in the Kunar province.
He was 19. He had been assigned to Fort Campbell.

"He was a sensitive, sweet, big-hearted, polite, respectful young boy who was
just hitting his stride," Diorio said. "He always had a kind word, always put
himself last."

Brendan Neenan loved to play pranks on his little sister. But he was the only
one allowed to — if anyone else tried to mess with her, he became a
protective enforcer.

There was the time Brendan dropped a water balloon on his sister's head
from an upstairs window. Except it wasn't a balloon, but a plastic egg that
plunked Katie Neenan on the noggin.

"It almost knocked her out," Neenan's father, Hugh, told the Southeast Sun
newspaper in Enterprise, Ala. But he also had a serious side when it came to
his family, especially young men who dared to send his sister an inappopriate
text message. His brother, Tim, recalled one boy who'd dared to do such a
thing.

Friend Ana Miller said Ortega was eager to deploy and serve his country. But
when he first joined the military, he had trouble adjusting to California, where
he was going through training. He had hoped to be stationed closer to his
home in Miami before too long.

"He was telling me that when he came back from his deployment, if he was
given the chance of where to go, he was going to choose Miami," Miller said.

Ortega, 23, was killed by a roadside bomb June 18 in Helmand province,

Afghanistan. He had graduated from South Dade Senior High School in 2005
and joined the U.S. Navy in May 2008.

"He had a lot of respect for this nation and he paid the ultimate sacrifice,
unfortunately," Ortega's sister said. He was to be buried in Arlington National
Cemetery.

Claudio Patino was a "modern day Spartan" who willingly returned to

Afghanistan three months after his first deployment there ended, a friend said.

A scout sniper, the 22-year-old Patino began talking when he was a child
about becoming a Marine. Friend and former team leader Marine Sgt. Ryan
Lindner said Patino often used his weekends to practice mixed-martial arts.

He graduated from El Dorado High School in 2006, the same year he

enlisted. He had completed tours in Iraq and Afghanistan before leaving for
his third deployment in March.

As he was preparing earlier this year to leave California again, a neighbor

asked why he was redeploying only three months after returning.

"He told me he wanted to go back," neighbor Tom Woods said. "He told me,
'There's work to be done. If I don't go back and do it, who will?'"

Jonathan Peney walked into Atlanta Rocks as a scrawny 13-year-old who just
wanted to learn about rock climbing. Nearly a decade later, he was an Army
Ranger — an elite special forces soldier.

http://newseverywhere.info/how-did-farrah-s-baby-daddy-die/ 8/4/2010
How Did Farrah s Baby Daddy Die Page 6 of 6

He worked hard on the rock walls, always pushing himself to do more. His
friends and family say he took that dedication to the military. But they also
remembered his positive attitude.

Peney, 22, of Marietta, Ga., was killed June 1 under heavy enemy fire in
Kandahar province, Afghanistan. He was a combat medic assigned to Hunter
Army Airfield.

The military lauded the heroic decision that ultimately killed Peney: During a
firefight, he rushed over to give medical aid to a fellow Ranger who had been
wounded.

"We didn't get to spend a lot of time with him," said Peney's father-in-law,
Michael Felton. "But they were very happy, and that's the important thing." ...
