LIBRARY REF ANIMAL CNTR DATE DISTRIBUTED ' /off 3 /05 DATE OF ARTICLE l/,j l / NEWSPAPER FWST 20-year-old soldier from Euless dies in Iraq By CHRIS VAUGHN cvaughn@star-telegram.com — EULESS—It was not all that surprising that Sean McCune enlisted in the service. Three generations—his father,grandfather and great-grandfather—all served in the Air Force,and Sean did not feel quite up to college yet. What was a bit surprising was that when Sean shipped off for Army basic training in April 2008,he had chosen the infantry as his calling. "He was kind of a gentle, sensitive kid,"said his father, Larry McCune."I didn't quite understand his desire for a C• + I + + combat role. But you know kids.They make their minds up based on what they know. I talked to him about the risks ' and rewards and just tried to support him in his decision." rp 4 Pvt. McCune,20,died Sunday in Samarra, Iraq. He had been an infantryman for only six months and was on his first i,tt 'OO'$ deployment. His is the first war-zone death of a Tan-ant County serviceman this year. The Army told his father that it appeared that Pvt. McCune was killed when his rifle accidentally discharged,perhaps • while he was cleaning it. He belonged to the 2nd Battalion,35th Infantry Regiment based at Schofield Barracks, Hawaii. The Defense Department said in a news release that the incident is under investigation. Funeral arrangements for Pvt.McCune are pending,but his father said he will be buried in Alabama,where his Via, mother lives. _ — Pvt. McCune was born June 2, 1988,at Carswell Air Force Base,shortly before his father left the service. He was "is reared mostly in Haltom City and Grapevine and attended Haltom High School his freshman and sophomore years. y} He then moved to his mother's in Alabama and finished high school there in 2007.He moved back to Tan-ant County' , l • 1.• soon afterward and resumed living with his father in Euless. _ .� + Pvt.McCune loved to play computer games and video games and enjoyed wildlife and photography. Until a few months ago,he still shot photos on an old manual-everything,film-only Nikon camera. "He wouldn't hurt a flea,"his father said."He preferred to shoot animals with a camera." — He had an enormous sweet tooth,having bought$40 worth of candy and consuming most of it while on leave last summer. "You'd never know it by seeing him,"said his sister,Amber McCune,23."He was as skinny as they come. But he could eat anybody under the table." After he deployed to the Middle East in late October, his family didn't hear from him very often.His e-mails were short and sweet. He sent one e-mail during the holidays to say that he had gotten to meet the musician Kid Rock in Iraq. His story of-that encounter lasted one sentence. "When we were younger, he was a pain in the butt,"his sister said."But as we started our teenage years,he was my best friend." Pvt McCune is also survived,by hIL mother and stepfather, Sandi and Sandy Gibson;stepsister Natasha Gibson; — and half sister Vicki Gibson.
