10 May 1986 – 20 September 2008
A 22-year-old sailor and an Air Force officer were among the more than 50 people killed in Saturday’s suicide bombing at a luxury hotel popular with foreigners in Islamabad, Pakistan.
Cryptologic Technician 3rd Class (Maintenance) Matthew J. O’Bryant, 22, of Duluth, Ga., was killed at the Marriott Hotel, according to the Defense Department. O’Bryant was assigned to Navy Information Operations Command Maryland at Fort Meade.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel May he Rest In Peace.
..."Navy 3rd Class Petty Officer Matthew J. O’Bryant remembered
The Associated Press
Matthew J. O’Bryant was known for his ability to make people smile.
“He was the nicest person you’d ever know. He got along with everybody. He was friendly; he was a real good person,” said Roger O’Bryant, Matthew’s uncle.
O’Bryant, 22, of Duluth, Ga., died Sept. 20 in a bombing in Islamabad, Pakistan. He was a 2004 high school graduate and was assigned to Fort Meade.
O’Bryant’s commanding officer, Capt. Richard Bodziak, said, “He was exactly the kind of sailor we want in the Navy.”
O’Bryant, who was a cryptologic technician, was “first in his class,” Bodziak said. He said the sailor exhibited “honor, courage and commitment.”
Just before a funeral service, Lawrence O’Bryant told everyone who came up to him how proud he was of his brother. He noted that four members of the family — the two brothers and two of their cousins — were all serving in the Navy at the same time.
“There were four of us in the Navy,” he said. “Well, there’s three now.” He paused, then added, “I guess there will always be four of us because he will always be in the Navy.”
He is survived by his wife, Bridgette"
