The family of a 23-year-old Marine from Omaha said Friday he was among 13 US service members killed in the suicide bombing attack at the Kabul airport in Afghanistan, AP reports.
Corporal Daegan William-Tyeler Page served in the 2nd Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment based at Camp Pendleton, California.
The family said Page was raised in Red Oak, Iowa, and the Omaha metro area and joined the Marines after graduating from Millard South High School.
He is mourned by his girlfriend, parents, stepmom and stepdad, four siblings and grandparents, the family said in a statement released through a family friend. The statement said the family did not wish to speak to the media at this time.
Daegan will always be remembered for his tough outer shell and giant heart," the statement said.
