Kyle Eggers was gregarious, with a penchant for practical jokes. "He always had that smiling look on his face," said his father, Keith Eggers. "He would do anything to help anybody." Eggers, 27, of Euless, Texas, was killed Dec. 5 when his vehicle was hit by a makeshift bomb in Habbaniyah. He was assigned to Camp Greaves, Korea. Eggers was a cross-country runner in high school and became a career soldier to honor his country and his grandfather, a World War II veteran, his father said. Eggers enlisted after graduating from high school and served for nine years in the Army, including four years at the Yakima, Wash., Training Center. He leaves a wife, Jennifer, a Yakima reserve firefighter, and three sons, twins 2½ years old and the youngest 11 months.

It's a brave man that faces adversity with a smile on his face. Kyle was always the one that would step forward when a challenge presented itself. He was a great leader, an outstanding Soldier, and the best friend. He's missed everyday, but will never be forgotten.

You would be so proud of Jennifer and the boys! She is a great Mom and the boys are growing like weeds! They look like you!

I had the pleasure to work with a Kyle for 1 1/2 in Korea and Iraq. I never met a more kind hearted professional Soldier. He always thought of others. He was a good battle buddy and a great friend. He will be missed.
