TAMPA, Fla. — A 36-year-old paratrooper who was due to return home this month, was killed in Iraq, the Department of Defense said Saturday.
Sgt. 1st Class David A. Heringes, of Tampa, was on a recovery mission near Tikrit when he was injured by an improvised explosive device. He died at the hospital on Aug. 24, his father Ronald Heringes said.
Heringes loved working on cars and motorcycles and spending time with his two young children. A 16-year-veteran with the army, he had a passion for serving his country, his father said.
“He was proud to do what he was doing,” Ronald said. “He didn’t have any qualms.”
