Robert Zachary Firlan survived traumatic brain injuries he suffered during a tour in Iraq, where he was a forward observer for the Army. He was awarded a Purple Heart for his service.
But on a sunny, warm evening, a block from the downtown Anchorage park strip, Firlan died from injuries he suffered when a motorcycle he was driving collided with a van.
A minute after 6 p.m. Tuesday, the Anchorage Police Department received reports of a collision at the intersection of Eighth Avenue and C Street.
The 27-year-old died in a hospital. The driver of the van is not charged with any crimes and is expected to survive. APD spokesperson Jennifer Castro said Wednesday an investigation into what went wrong is ongoing.
Firlan leaves behind a wife, three boys, and another son is on the way.
