A Fort Bragg soldier who died following a noncombat related incident in Afghanistan on Sunday is remembered as an exceptional Green Beret who loved his family, team, country and job with everything he had.
Staff Sgt. Girard David Gass Jr., 33, of Lumber Bridge, was pronounced dead at the Jalalabad Air Field Hospital, according to the Department of Defense.
The cause of death is under investigation, but officials said it was related to a "non-battle" incident while on patrol in Nangarhar province.
Gass, known as Jerry, was assigned to Company C, 1st Battalion, 3rd Special Forces Group at Fort Bragg.
