Sergeant Timothy R. Osbey lost his life on February 16, 2005, when the vehicle he was riding in rolled into a canal after a section of the road collapsed in Iskandariyah, Iraq. The 29-year-old emergency medical technician was assigned to the Army National Guard’s 1st Battalion, 155th Infantry Regiment out of McComb, Mississippi. A military honor guard accompanied Osbey back to the United States, where 500 of his family, friends, and community honored their fallen Soldier on February 26, 2005, at the Sherman Missionary Baptist Church in Magnolia, Mississippi, the same church at which he used to sing in the choir. He was laid to rest with military honors in Cook’s Cemetery in Pike County, Mississippi.
