KETTERING — An outpouring of support is planned Monday for the homecoming of a 2007 Fairmont High School graduate who died of complications from surgery for back problems related to combat duty in Iraq.

Army Sgt. Cody Bryan, 22, died Oct. 14, a day after surgery in Colorado. He had sustained back injuries in two Humvee rollover incidents in Iraq. His second tour of duty ended in March.

An e-mail circulating locally encourages the community to line Far Hills Avenue between Stroop and Rahn roads with flags or signs of support at 6 p.m. Monday to greet Bryan’s family and their military escort. Parking is at the Apex church, 5200 Far Hills Ave.

Bryan is survived by wife Megan (Moore) and children, Kaydence, 4, and Ian, 2. A third child, Tanner, is due in January.
