Major Alex Klinner, of Trussville, Alabama, has been identified as one of the six brave service members who lost their lives in the tragic KC-135 crash in Iraq. He was only 33 years old.
Behind the uniform was a devoted husband and a loving father. He leaves behind his wife, Libby, and their three young children — a two-and-a-half-year-old and seven-month-old twins… children who will grow up knowing their father through stories, memories, and the legacy of his courage.
This is more than a military loss — it is a family shattered, a future forever changed.
While he served his country with honor, his family now faces a pain that words cannot heal. A wife must find strength in unimaginable grief. Three little children must grow up without the embrace of their father.
Tonight, let us pause and remember not just the hero, but the family he loved so deeply.
Please keep them in your prayers.
May God surround them with comfort, strength, and endless grace during this unimaginable time.
Rest in peace, Major Klinner. Your sacrifice will never be forgotten. 🙏
