LAME DEER - Sergeant Kellum's family says they had the option to bury their son in Arlington, but instead they chose to bring his body home. He was laid to rest Friday in Lame Deer. "He was a well known young man, not only through the military but as a young boy he was involved in everything. He was a traditional dancer, participated in sports and participated in everything. He was well liked by many." says his uncle Steve Littlebird.
Family members say Sergeant Kellum wanted to be a soldier since he was a young boy. He enlisted in 2004, and since has served in Germany and Iraq.
"He was really enjoying it and made lot of friends in the military," says Littlebird. Fellow soldiers and family members spoke in remembrance, saying he was in many ways a hero.
