Gabriel, who stands in the
presence of God, pray for
Kevin Fortuna
Military officials stated that he was a phenomenal, irreplaceable individual who had already been selected for promotion and was very much a star of the future. They also stated that the loss with his passing will be acute and that he had an unwavering commitment to his Riflemen and their care.

Kevin gave 19 years of service to his country.

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