JOHNSTON, Iowa — An Iowa National Guardsman from Ogden was killed Thursday in Iraq after a bomb exploded near his Humvee, military officials said.
Sgt. Daniel Sesker, 22, was manning a gun aboard the vehicle when insurgents detonated the bomb outside Tikrit.
Guard officials said Sesker had recently discovered his fiance was pregnant and was hoping to leave Iraq as early as this year to meet his newborn.
“He was very proud of it and was very interested in how to be a new father,” Lt. Col. Greg Hapgood said Friday at a news conference announcing Sesker’s death. “Apparently he put a great deal of time and study into his future fatherhood.”

I Did Not Die
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow;
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain;
I am the gentle Autumn’s rain.
When you awaken in the morning’s hush.
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft star that shines at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there;
I did not die.

Bring us, O Lord God, at our last awakening,
into the house and gate of heaven,
to enter into that gate, and dwell in that house where there shall be
no darkness nor dazzling, but one equal light;
no noise nor silence, but one equal music;
no fears nor hopes, but one equal possession;
no ends nor beginnings, but one equal eternity;
in the habitation of Thy glory and dominion,
world without end. Amen.
