  • I would like to thank everyone for the kind words that have been said about this young airman, even though none of you are sure of the name. I can tell you I knew this young man and that he was a wonderful, thoughtful, caring person. I know the family and what a terrible shock this is for them and for everyone who knew him. Your kind words and prayers for him and his family will be felt by all. He will be missed, but never forgotten!

  • I want to extend my sincere and deepest condolences to the family of this airman. Also to his Air Force family who has suffered a great loss as well. My son worked alongside with this young man. With much grief and sadness my son called me to tell me what happened. He described how he was such a good and caring person and one of the finest Airman the Air Force could have. No words can ever describe the feeling of loss for such a fine young man, but my heart goes out to the family for their loss. May God Bless him and all of his family.

    From San Antonio Air Force family
