Sgt. Kevin Sheehan of Milton Vermont was killed on Turesday, May 25th as he worked as part of a security escort for a tactical military intelligence team. He served as a member of the 1st Battalion, 86th Field Artillery of the Vermont Army National Guard.
According to the Burlington Free Press:
Bean attended Champlain Valley Union High School in Hinesburg before his family moved from Charlotte to Bridport, school principal Val Gardner said Tuesday night. She remembered Bean as a lanky kid who always wore a cowboy hat and had a small, tight-knit group of friends.She did not know Bean had died.
"Oh, my God," Gardner said slowly. "It's just beyond my belief."
The principal called CVU's crisis team and told them to be prepared to deal with grief at the school today.
Bean never cared what other people thought about him, recalled CVU classmate Tucker Watson.
"He did his thing," Watson said. "If you didn't like him, that was your own problem. He was really an all-American guy."
We honor his service and his life on Memorial Day and always.
