PORT HURON, Mich. — A 35-year-old soldier from Michigan was killed in an explosion Saturday in Fallujah, Iraq.
Army Staff Sgt. Mark D. Vasquez was on patrol in a Bradley Fighting Vehicle when it was struck by an improvised explosive device, according to a Department of Defense statement.
Lydia Chappelle, of St. Clair County’s Fort Gratiot Township, said her cousin loved his wife and two children more than anything.
After joining the Army in April 1993, Vasquez was first stationed in Hawaii, where he met his wife, Nicole. A few years after they married, their daughter, Breanna, now 6, was born, and later they had a son, Cameron, 2.
