OKLAHOMA CITY — An Oklahoma City soldier who was killed in an insurgency attack in Iraq this week was a happy, giving young man, family members and friends said Friday.
Spc. Sonny Gene Sampler, 23, was one of five U.S. soldiers who died Thursday at a military headquarters in Samarra, Iraq, when insurgents detonated a car bomb and fired mortars at the building.
Rellon “Skeeter” Sampler said the family learned of his younger brother’s death Thursday afternoon.
“He was a first-class kid,” Skeeter Sampler said. “He’d do anything for you. He always had a smile on his face.”
