Hello.
this might be a long shot, but I want to try.

first, my condolences on your son's passing. and thank you for raising an amazing man, and a Marine.

in regards to your post .. I pray I'm lucky with this, so here goes ...

if by chance, Christmas weekend of 2008, you made contact with a family in northwest OK about your son, please contact me. I cant promise you we are the family you are looking for, but at the time of your call, my uncle (the man you talked with) didn't connect all the dots.

I would greatly enjoy talking with you and sharing the pieces my uncle didn't connect correctly.
the phone number you used at the time, while still active, isn't able to be answered right now. contact me here and we'll see about exchanging contact info.

thank you
