ROSEBURG, Ore. — An Oregon soldier has been killed in Iraq, according to friends and family.
Daniel Leckel, 19, a 2005 Glendale High School graduate, died from small-arms fire in southern Baghdad, said Steve Prock, Glendale’s varsity football and former baseball coach.
Leckel served with the Army and was based out of Fort Riley, Kan. He is the 96th person in the U.S. military with Oregon ties to die in Iraq or Afghanistan, according to Gov. Ted Kulongoski’s office.
Prock said he first heard July 25 that Leckel may have been killed, but he could not confirm it.
“We went to bed that night, crossing our fingers, hoping it wasn’t true,” Prock said.

Think of me as one at rest, for me you should not weep. I have no cares, no troubled thoughts, for now I am asleep.--The living breathing me that was, is now forever still, and time goes on without me as time forever will.--Those of you who liked me, I sincerely thank you all, aand those of you that loved me, I thank you most of all.--It matters not if time begun or if time will ever cease. I was here, I used it all, and now I am at peace.

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.
