OAK HARBOR, Wash. — A Whidbey Island Naval Air Station petty officer from Arkansas was the sixth member of a bomb disposal unit to be killed in Iraq.
Kevin Bewley, 27, of Hector, Ark., died Nov. 5 of wounds from a bomb that detonated in Sala ad Din province. He was on his second deployment to Iraq.
“He had a real good personality. He was always sympathetic to people,” his father, Ron Duke Bewley, told the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. “You bet I was proud of him.”
Three sailors from the same unit were killed in April, and two were killed in July.
“It’s a big loss to this small family,” said Naval Air

Kevin will always be loved and missed deeply by his family and friends. It is important to know that Kevin was killed by an RPG after successfully disarming 2 IEDs. The group had gotten back in the truck and was looking for a third IED when the vehicle was hit by an RPG which entered the vehicle and went across Kevin's neck.
