Kristopher Dan Rodgers died Saturday in the Korengal Valley when a roadside bomb exploded near his vehicle. The Pentagon said Tuesday Rodgers was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 26th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division at Fort Hood, Texas. Rodgers, originally from Howe, was a 1998 graduate of Lakeland High School in LaGrange, said Greg Hackman of Hackman Family Funeral Homes in Sturgis, which is handling the arrangements. Rodgers' survivors include his wife, Selina, and their 3½-year-old son, Kaden, who live in Burr Oak, Mich. His funeral is planned for Saturday, August 30 at 1 p.m. at Sturgis Wesleyan Church. From there they'll travel to the Lakeland High School football field for a full military honor service. Most Popular
