SSGT Michael Logan Pope, USMC

“SSGT Michael Logan Pope, 30, of Oceanside, California, formerly of Jonesboro, Arkansas, passed away Thursday, January 20, 2022. He graduated from Nettleton High School in 2009. Logan joined the United States Marine Corps in 2013 as a machine gunner. Logan went on to become a Marine Corps Water Instructor, Helicopter Rope Suspension Techniques Instructor, and a Drill Instructor, which is one of the most looked upon achievements because it is the most demanding duty. During his eight years of service, Logan received numerous decorations and awards, including The Navy & Marine Corps Achievement Medal (NAM). This is a decoration presented by the United States Department of the Navy to service members of the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps who have performed commendably in routine duties or exceptional achievements. In his spare time, Logan enjoyed gaming and riding motorcycles, but his true hobby was muscle cars. He loved working on cars, particularly his Chevrolet Camaro. Logan was the son of Martin Pope and Shannon Stroud. He was preceded in death by his papaw, Hal Wayne Yarbrough. Survivors include his wife of seven years, Andrea Pope; sons, Ryker and Jude.”

SSgt Damion Linder, ARMY

“Damion was an amazing man who loved his family and his country. He served 2 tours in Iraq before returning home and getting out of the Army to spend more time with his family. He then transitioned to the Sheriff's department where he was a deputy for a few years. He ultimately decided he wanted to be closer to family and moved to IL. Here he spent his days playing video games with his son and pushing his daughters on the swing set or just playing with them outside. His children were his world. He unfortunately suffered a PTSD induced heart attack at the early age of 37. He continues to live on through his children and wife, and watches over them every day.”
