It’s tragedies like this that sadly brings together former military biker groups like the Lethernecks. They lead the precession for Fenn’s funeral Saturday.

The family of the Polk County marine killed in a training exercise last month, laid him to rest Saturday.

David Fenn was one of seven men killed when a mortar round exploded.

Seeing the American flag covered casket of 20-year-old Lance Corporal David Fenn being loaded into a hearst, was hard for everyone watching.

“I don’t feel like he’s gone. He can’t be gone,” said Fenn’s sister Melanie Fenn.

His childhood friend Brittany Roberts says she’s just happy to see the support. “This is really amazing how many people have come out to support David, his family,” Roberts said.

Even complete strangers came to give their condolences.

“It touches home this is home. And this is our sadness with their families,” said Marine Family of Central Florida member, Tera Williams.
