HILTON, N.Y. — He was the eldest of four sons, a fresh-faced Army recruit, a father for just four weeks.
Pfc. Jason Hasenauer, 21, a former firefighter, was killed in Afghanistan on Dec. 27 when a roadside bomb toppled a Humvee he was riding in. He was laid to rest Saturday in a rural cemetery in western New York.
“Your tour of duty is ended, not only on this earth, not only in the military, not only in the fire department, but in life,” the Rev. William Spilly said in a eulogy before hundreds of mourners.
“We wish you had been here longer but we thank God for the time God gave you to us. We will not forget you because we loved you.”
Hasenauer was sitting in a machine-gun turret when the bomb explosion overturned his Humvee in Kandahar. He died of head injuries. Four other men in the vehicle were injured.
