EL DORADO HILLS, Calif. — A 22-year-old paratrooper from El Dorado Hills who died following an explosion in Iraq was killed before he ever had the chance to meet his 3½-month-old son.
“The one thing I really wish he could have done was hold our son, Sean, just once,” Nicole Dayton told The Sacramento Bee of her husband, Sgt. Kyle Dayton. “He was so excited about becoming a daddy.”
Dayton died Dec. 3 in Anbar province when his unit responded to a logistics convoy accident and one of the vehicles unexpectedly ignited, the Department of Defense said Dec. 5. The accident is under investigation.
