Nathan Lillard

Nathan Lillard, age 26, died in a firefight with enemy forces in the Konar Province of Afghanistan on November 14, 2010.  

He was part of the 1st Brigade of the 101st Airborne Division. 

Nathan Lillard grew up in Southeast Tennessee's McMinn County but spent his junior and senior years at Lenoir City High School, where he graduated in 2003. Friends said Nathan Lillard had talked of a military career even a teenager. His former teachers remember him as a big, burly boy, quick with a smile, who loved to work with his hands.

Nathan Lillard re-enlisted in November 2006 and arrived at Fort Campbell, Ky., in August 2009. 

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