Has anyone experienced the same with a friend or loved one?

This may seem somewhat of a strange question. I’m not a conspiracy theorist but I had a friend that served in the 82nd, went on to serve in Special Forces and received an invitation for Delta. About 4 months after his Delta invite, he was killed in a single car accident. His body was burned up in the accident to where there couldn’t be an open casket service. Supposedly, everything he owned relating to his military service also burned in the auto fire. I’m talking about discharge papers, assignment papers, some old uniforms and even all the challenge coins meltednin the fire. But, the only thing that survived the fire was his plastic ID and plastic drivers license. Does anything sound kinda funny to anyone? Also, the accident happens where no one lives and there was no one around. This was about 7+ years ago. Now, I have to believe he did pass in that accident but it’s just really strange how it all came about. Has anyone experienced anything like this with someone they knew? He and I served in the 82nd Airborne together and we also grew up together. He was a grunt and I was in a Forward Support Battalion.
