Please pray for the repose of his soul. He was shot Friday night in an altercation near a parking garage in our "nearest" city. He leaves behind a wife and two sons, as well as a stunned and grieving Navy community.

Last week this young man visited our Navy chaplain and asked for help finding God. He prayed and took a Bible home. They found it by his bedside Saturday morning.

Thanks for your prayers. His memorial service is tomorrow.

Praying for this man's soul, for his family, for the Naval community and for the murderer. How very sad, Nancy.

I often hear of people who die at the time in their life when they are closest to God.

I'll pray for this young man and his family.

Update...

The police have no good leads.

Our on-base memorial service was today. I have never, ever seen so many grown people in tears. Please pray for our grieving community.

Also, please remember our chaplain in a special way. Damen's wife asked him to do the funeral service. As well as sharing in our command-wide grief, this chaplain has never done a civilian funeral before (sadly, he lost 51 comrades in Iraq, so he's done plenty of memorials).

Thanks.

This is so sad. May God have mercy on his soul. Thanks for adding the hopeful part about his recent search for God.
