The last time Cindy Schellin heard from her oldest son, he texted her that he loved her.
Within hours, he would be dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound in the backyard of the home he had shared with his wife and three young children until hours earlier.
He was 22.
He was a soldier.
He was in pain.
“I knew,” his mom said, after receiving his last text late Saturday afternoon. “I knew he wasn’t OK.”
An investigation into Specialist Gage Schellin’s death continues at Fort Hood, where he was stationed. He had joined the Army two years earlier and returned in the spring from an 8-month deployment in Afghanistan.
“He had three dreams,” said his mom, who lives in Fort Walton Beach. “To be a husband, to be a father and to be a soldier.”
