Washington native killed in Iraq praised as sacrificial
Associated Press
WASHINGTON, N.C. A budding bagpipe player. One of the widest grins Beaufort County has ever seen.
Friends say these and many other traits vanished with the death of Army Cpl. Kevin McCray Jones, 21, who was remembered Saturday during a standing-room-only funeral service.
Jones suffered fatal injuries Sept. 22 when a roadside bomb exploded beside his vehicle west of Baghdad, becoming the 37th serviceman from North Carolina to be killed in the Iraq war. He was serving his second tour.
Those who knew Jones remembered his sacrificial approach to life from fighting fires as a teenage volunteer firefighter to caring for stray cats and the children of Iraq.
Jones suffered injuries and deafness after an April blast, yet went to work treating fellow soldiers injured in that explosion. He even cracked jokes...
