EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — Hundreds of people filled Pax Christi Catholic Church to say goodbye to Tyler Fey, who was killed April 4 while serving his second tour of duty in Iraq.
A 2000 graduate of Richfield’s Academy of the Holy Angels, Fey became the fifth Minnesotan to die in Iraq.
Two more young Minnesota Marines died that week: Moises (Moy) Langhorst, 19, of Moose Lake and Levi Angell, 20, of Cloquet.
Marines carried Fey’s casket to his grave on Tuesday, then saluted him one last time with white-gloved hands. Then, as they walked away from the grave, they could bear their pain no longer. One by one, they knelt and let the tears flow.
Emotions ran raw...
