Justin E. Culbreth


Army Spc. Justin E. Culbreth, age 26, died at Panjway district, Afghanistan, on November 17, 2010, when insurgents attacked his unit with a roadside bomb.

Spc. Culbreth had formerly lived in Wentzville, where his parents, Walter and Cheryl Culbreth, live. He attended Warrenton High School then was homeschooled and finished early before going into the military.

Spc. Culbreth was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 187th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division, out of Fort Campbell, Ky.  Justin Culbreth joined the Army in 2004 and arrived at Fort Campbell in 2009. He has since received numerous commendations, including the Purple Heart and medals for service in Iraq, Afghanistan and Korea.

In addition to his parents, among the survivors are his wife, Kimberly; his son Brandon and daughter Katelyn; and stepchildren Mariah Bailey, Hannah Carbaugh and Cole Carbaugh, all of Clarksville, Tenn.

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