Chief Warrant Officer Christian P. Humphreys, 28, of Fallon, Nev. He was assigned to the 6th Squadron, 17th Cavalry Regiment, Task Force 49, U.S. Army Alaska, Fort Wainwright, Alaska.

I served with Chris for two years while he was a crew chief with the Search and Rescue Team aboard Naval Air Station Fallon, NV. He was always a pleasure to fly and work with. It seemed like he was never in a bad mood and could always be counted on during the most demanding missions. America has lost one of her best. Christina, I am so sorry to hear about this. You are in the thoughts and prayers of the entire Longhorn Team.

His wife left this beautiful message:

Rest in a better place my dear. You are the love of my life, my missing piece, my best friend, and my hero. I love you more than words can say. The world will never be completely at peace knowing you are gone. Save a spot for me and keep it warm, I'll see you when it's meant to be.

Don was a wonderful brother in law to me and an even better husband and father to my sister and their children. He will be greatly missed in our family but I know he's looking down over all of us.

O God, whose mercies cannot be numbered: Accept our prayers on behalf of your servants, and grant them an entrance into the land of light and joy, in the fellowship of your saints; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
