Cpl. Jon-Luke Bateman, 22, was attempting to help out a fellow Marine when both men were electrocuted.
Shockwaves stretched from Afghanistan to Idaho to Pahrump as news reached the Marines’ families and friends.
Bateman was serving in Musa Qala, Afghanistan with the 2nd Battalion, 4th Marines, out of Camp Pendleton, Calif. He was killed alongside Lance Cpl. Kenneth Cochran, 20, of Wilder, Idaho, who was deployed with the 9th Engineer Support Battalion, 3rd Marine Logistics Group, out of Okinawa, Japan.
Bateman’s family met his body at Dover Air Force Base outside Dover, Delaware earlier this week. His body is en route to Pahrump, where services are set for Jan. 27 at Pahrump Family Mortuary. Graveside services are scheduled for the following day at the Southern Nevada Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Boulder City. http://pvtimes.com/news/07-pvhs-grad-dies-in-afghanistan/
