PERU, Ind. — Family members and colleagues remembered a soldier killed in Iraq for his charisma and his devastating smile as a small Indiana town paused to honor one of its own who died in a bomb explosion.
Days before his death, Sgt. Jarrod W. Black and his wife, Shawna, agreed on the phone on a name for their baby expected in April. Black learned of his wife’s pregnancy just days after he arrived in Iraq in September.
“He had a smile that everyone loved,” Shawna said after the Dec. 20 service in this rural community about 65 miles north of Indianapolis. “I can only hope that my daughter has that smile.”
Black, 26, was the 18th soldier from Indiana to die...
