PO1 William "Chip" Nagel May he Rest In Peace.
..."Shortly after Jerrod's death, two Marines went to the Wardens' doorstep. At first, Kyle said, they thought they were church missionaries. When they realized their visitors were Marines, the Wardens immediately knew something was wrong.
Kyle said Jerrod was exceptionally close with his sister. Jerrod said the hardest part about being a Marine was not being around to see his niece's firsts: Her first steps. Her first words and so on.
Jerrod was also a mama's boy and he was proud of it.
The night before Jerrod's death, he called his parents and told them how excited he was to come home for the holidays. He showed them the gift he'd got for his girlfriend.
And he was excited to come back to the Wyoming wind.
Perhaps Casperites will be a little less annoyed with the Wyoming wind knowing that Jerrod loved it. Were he still here, he was excited for a walk with his mom in the wind.
Right now, his family is calling the Casper wind "Jerrod's wind."
A procession is planned for Jerrod on Thursday evening. The exact time remains fluid.

My condolences. It's never easy giving up a loved one, especially a Son. I know this may sound sexiest but, "it is what it is."
