Brent Taylor, North Ogden mayor, has been killed in Afghanistan. He was deployed as a member of the National Guard. He had taken a leave from his mayoral duties. It is said to be an insider attack.
He was a BYU grad and father of 7.

I am thinking of a young widow with seven children. Tough days ahead for a long time to come. Hopefully she will get a lot of support. Tragic for him as he has lost many years of life and happiness.
