Shawn Memmer joined the Marine Corps at the age of 17 and served for eight years, Effie Pringle said. He served in Operation Desert Storm in Iraq.
Family members have identified the body found near Ann Arbor's Pioneer High School Thursday as 53-year-old Shawn Douglas Memmer, originally from Indian River, Michigan.

Memmer's brother Shannon Pringle said he had contacted police investigating the body, which was found by contractors preparing for a controlled burn on property owned by Ann Arbor Public Schools.

An official identification has not been made, but Shawn Memmer's sister-in-law Effie Pringle said the family has been told to begin making arrangements for the body.

Effie Pringle said Shawn moved from Gaylord to Ann Arbor for treatment through the VA Hospital for PTSD and substance abuse. He had not been in contact with any family members since October, 2014.
