PLYMOUTH, Ind. (AP) - Funeral arrangements have been announced for a Plymouth, Ind., native killed in last week's shooting rampage at Fort Hood, Texas.
Visitation for Army Staff Sgt. Justin M. DeCrow will be from 2 to 8 p.m. Friday in Plymouth Wesleyan Church.
Funeral services for the 32-year-old DeCrow will be at 1 p.m. Saturday at the church, followed immediately by graveside services with full military honors at Plymouth's New Oakhill Cemetery.
DeCrow lived with his wife Marikay and daughter Kylah in Evans, Ga., near Fort Gordon before being assigned to Fort Hood in September. He was a satellite communications operator-maintainer who was to be deployed to Iraq.
The family has asked that gifts be made to a college fund for Kylah in lieu of flowers.
