Chattanooga Funeral Home North said on its website that services are set for 1 p.m. Friday at Hixson United Methodist Church, 531 Old Hixson Pike, with the Rev. Reed Shell and Navy Chaplain Cmdr. James Storie officiating.

The North Carolina native, who joined the Marines after the 9/11 terror attacks, lived in Hixson with his family.

On Tuesday, the obituary for another of the slain Marines, Sgt. Carson Holmquist, was released by his hometown funeral home in Webster, Wis.

Holmquist, 25, was a native of St. Croix Falls, Wis., and graduated from Grantsburg (Wis.) High School in 2008. The obituary said he loved farming and worked on a Grantsburg farm throughout high school.
