Chief Warrant Officer Matthew G. Wagstaff, age 34, was killed in a helicopter crash in Afghanistan on September 21, 2010. 

"Matt died doing what he loved to do — and that was to fly," said a statement from the Wagstaff family. "He was a tremendous husband, son, brother and uncle, and he served his country well."  Assigned to the 101st    Combat Aviation Brigade, Matthew Wagstaff was a 10-year Army veteran on his second tour of duty in Afghanistan. He had also done a stint in Iraq.

Matthew Wagstaff was still a newlywed when he died. He met his wife, Tiffany, at Fort Campbell, and they married in January. He deployed to Afghanistan in March. He was due home on leave next month.  Matthew Wagstaff's is survived by his wife and parents, Ronald and Suzanne Wagstaff and a younger brother and sister.

Let us pray to God the Father, Jesus, all of the saints and all of the angels that Matthew Wagstaff is in heaven. Let us pray that he is at peace and is with God. Amen
