He was from Fort Campbell, Ky. He was assigned to Alpha Company, 2nd Battalion, 502nd Infantry Regiment, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division.
He joined the Army in 2009. He went by his middle name, Kyle. He had been in Afghanistan about six months. "He joined the Army because he liked being part of a team — he loved camaraderie,” said his mother, Marlene Blackburn, of Richmond. “And he wanted colorful stories to tell his grandchildren.” Her son was an accomplished soccer player. As a boy he traveled all over for tournaments, including to Holland when he was 12. During his junior year at ODU, he studied abroad and played soccer in England.
Let us pray to God the Father, Jesus, all of the saints and all of the angels that William Middleton is in heaven. Let us pray that he is at peace and is with God. Amen
