EL DORADO HILLS, Calif. — A 22-year-old paratrooper from El Dorado Hills who died following an explosion in Iraq was killed before he ever had the chance to meet his 3½-month-old son.
“The one thing I really wish he could have done was hold our son, Sean, just once,” Nicole Dayton told The Sacramento Bee of her husband, Sgt. Kyle Dayton. “He was so excited about becoming a daddy.”
Dayton died Dec. 3 in Anbar province when his unit responded to a logistics convoy accident and one of the vehicles unexpectedly ignited, the Department of Defense said Dec. 5. The accident is under investigation.

Your sacrifice will remain in our hearts for a lifetime,
with intense gratitude. May God bless you and your family.
Rest Safely and Securely in God's Loving Arms.
We cherish too, the Poppy red
That grows on fields where valor led,
It seems to signal to the skies
That blood of heros never dies.

His Journey's Just Begun
Don't think of him as gone away--
his journey's just begun
life holds so many facets
this earth is only one.
Just think of him as resting
from the sorrows and the tears
in a place of warmth and comfort
where there are no days and years.
Think how he must be wishing
that we could know today
how nothing but our sadness
can really pass away.
And think of him as living
in the hearts of those he touched...
for nothing loved is ever lost--
and he was loved so much.
rejoice in The Good Lords Loving Arms. Stand down, you mission is complete. RIP. God Bless and may His Loving Grace comfort those left behind.
You will never be forgotton, thank you for our freedom.
