A 19-year-old Marine Corps lance corporal from Woodlawn in Jefferson County has died while serving in Iraq. Lance Corporal Jonathan Kyle Price died Friday of injuries suffered while on guard duty in Ramadi, Iraq.
Family members say they learned of his death Friday. They say Price was scheduled to return home next month and was committed to marrying his fiance, who is expected to give birth to their baby in March.
Price's stepfather, John Hunsell, says the 2004 graduate of Woodlawn High School went to Iraq to fight for his family and his county and felt strongly about his country and what he was doing.
Price enlisted in the Marines after high school and was deployed to Iraq in August of last year. Prior to enlisting, he was active in the Heartland Young Marines, had earned the rank of Eagle Scout in the Boy Scouts, was active in his church and community, and played baseball at his high school.
