Cedar Rapids Soldier Dies in Iraq

A graduate of Cedar Rapids Jefferson High School has died from injuries he received while serving in Iraq.

Army Sgt. Kevin Allan Gilbertson, 25, is the son of Don Gilbertson of Palo and Keeley Unash of Cedar Rapids, the Gazette is reporting this morning. Nina, his wife, and the couple's 8-month-old son, Tommy, live in Germany.

Gilbertson was on foot patrol during his second tour in Iraq when he was shot by enemy forces on Aug. 29 in Ramadi. He was taken to Landstuhl in Germany where he subsequently died. Funeral arrangements are pending at Cedar Memorial Park Funeral Home.

As always, our deepest condolences and heartfelt thanks to the family.
