Sgt. Ryan Kisrow’ body arrived back in Michiana earlier this week.

He died on Father’s Day weekend in Myrtle Beach South Carolina when his son got caught in a riptide and he went out to save him. Kisrow succeeded in saving his son’s life, handing him off to a lifeguard, but was not able to get out of the water himself. His body was returned home this week and was given a police escort to the funeral home in Osceola where his funeral will take place Tuesday.

After that, his body will be taken to Fort Bragg for a service there. He served 6 tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan, joining the military after graduating from Penn High School.

He is survived by his wife, and three children.
