Brandon sends us the sad news that Marine Sergeant Ty Ziegel has passed on. From an article written by our buddy, Andy Kravetz last week in the Peoria Journal Star<\/a>; <\/p>\n

Tyler W. Ziegel, 30, was pronounced dead at 2:15 a.m. in the emergency room at OSF Saint Francis Medical Center, Peoria County Coroner Johnna Ingersoll said. An autopsy could not clearly identify the cause of Ziegel\u2019s death, Ingersoll said, although it was discovered that Ziegel had an enlarged heart. Further testing will be done to determine how he died, Ingersoll said. <\/p>\n

Rescue personnel were called to Sue\u2019s Place in Metamora on a report Ziegel had fallen in its parking lot. He was brought to the hospital about 1:45 a.m.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ty was an iconic figure in the war against terror when he survived an IED blast which disfigured him but he kept charging on and encouraging others to do the same.<\/p>\n

Angela Cochran, Ziegel\u2019s girlfriend, said he has been an inspiration in the three months since they began dating.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can ask him anything about his scars, his time in Iraq, how everything happened; he\u2019s like an open book,\u201d said Cochran. \u201cHe was willing to share stories. That\u2019s what makes him so inspiring. He\u2019s not trying to hide.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

His mother, Becky Ziegel, said he learned to deal with the disability.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis doctors asked him several times to visit other injured military people, just to be a little bit of inspiration, maybe go in there and say \u2018Hey, you know, time to buck up,\u2019\u201d Ziegel said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Odd that what the enemy couldn’t do was done by a patch of ice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
