LAFAYETTE, Ind. (WLFI) - The Department of Defense has confirmed the death of a Lafayette soldier, and former McCutcheon Maverick, Sergeant Kyle Osborn.

Osborn died Thursday in Afghanistan from wounds sustained when insurgents attacked his unit with guns and rocket propelled grenades. Osborn was 26 years old.

Kyle's father, Creigh Osborn, said he will never forget the moment when the chaplain knocked on his door Thursday morning.

"They said are you the father of Kyle Bruce Osborn?" said Creigh. "I said yes I am sir. He said the United States of America and the Army regret to inform you that your son was killed today, this day, in a small arms gun battle in Afghanistan."
