Cpl. Stephen Coty Sockalosky, a 21-year-old Marine, while serving in Afghanistan was fatally injured after stepping on an IED last weekend. He initially survived the explosion and was transported to a hospital in Germany. His wife, mother and grandmother were flown there Tuesday to be with him. Sometime Wednesday morning, the young soldier succumbed to the injuries he sustained in the incident.A 2007 graduate of Crisp County High School, Stephen Sockalosky had joined the Marines after graduation. It was something friends say he had always talked about doing. Stephen Sockalosky was married to the former Brittany Barton, also a graduate of Crisp County High. His parents are Carolyn Mosley Adsit, formerly of the Bartow-Fort Meade area, and Stephen Sockalosky of Wauchula. His grandparents are Roy and Pauline Porter of Cordele, formerly of Bartow and Fort Meade.
Let us pray to God the Father, Jesus, all of the saints and all of the angels that Stephen Coty Sockalosky is in heaven. Let us pray that he is at peace and is with God. Amen
