| Raphael, Archangel, pray for Denis |
He had previously served in the Central African Republic, Chad, Martinique, Bosnia/Croatia and two previous tours in Afghanistan.
Military officials describe him as having excellent professional qualities and impeccable behavior. He is also described as thorough and competent.
Denis is survived by many loving friends and relatives including his wife and two children.
Let us pray to God the Father, Jesus, all of the saints and all of the angels that Denis Estin is in heaven. Let us pray that he is at peace and is with God. Amen
