Pat Feeks. One of the best JTACs out there. Best story teller I ever met (those who knew him will understand!). Loyal friend, husband, brother, and son. He always showed up when you asked him to.
Dave Warsen. All American. Spent a lot of time together on our deployment to Afghanistan. When not on missions, we’d hit the volleyball court (half sand, half rocks). Strongest guy in the platoon, and also the happiest. Truly loved and missed.
Kevin Ebbert. My roommate in BUD/S. One of the smartest, most capable, kindest SEALs I ever knew. Skilled medic, loving husband. Missed dearly.
Brad Cavner. Cool, collected, and a great operator. Brad taught me to shoot left-handed after I lost my right eye, and spent countless hours getting my CQC skills back up to speed.
“It’s about the Brotherhood.”
“It’s about the Brotherhood.”
Tom Fouke. My old roommate. Dear friend. The gentlest big guy I ever knew. He raised an Argentine Horned frog named Lester when we lived together. Loved life, loved Metallica. World would be a better place with him in it.
Brett Marihugh. The most motivating and entertaining guy in our BUD/S class. Told stories for hours about his time as a cop before he joined. He pretended to be a doctor so he could visit my hospital room in Afghanistan and check up on me after I got hit by an IED.
Charles Keating IV. “Chuck Heavy”. His laugh was contagious. Life of the party.
He was killed placing himself in danger so that his Team wouldn’t have to. Navy Cross recipient. Epic hero, husband, son, brother.

Zack “Ill Mill” Miller was on SEAL Team 3 with me for a number of years. Always a mischievous smile on his face and a positive vibe. You wanted to be around him. Loved to dance, drink Fire Ball shots, and deploy to dangerous places with his best friends.
Robert “Bobby” Ramirez was there for me after my injuries to help me navigate the bureaucracy while I tried to keep working and keep deploying. Smart, fun, and enormously respected leader. He almost choked on my fake eye ball once, after I threw it in his tequila shot.
