Individuals USwww.azcentral.com -- An Arizona soldier from Lake Havasu City whose mother says was "someone everybody loved," died Wednesday while serving in Iraq.

Pfc. Patrick A. Tinnell, 25, was killed when a vehicle with an explosive device blew up near his unit while it was on combat patrol, according to a Defense Department notice.

Tinnell died in As Siniyah, Iraq. He was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 187th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division, Fort Campbell, Ky.

Tinnell graduated from Lake Havasu High School in 2000, a school spokeswoman said.

The fallen soldier's mother, Debbie Tinnell of Lake Havasu City, spoke by telephone about her son while she sat with his dog, Mary.

"Patrick loved Mary and asked me to look after her, and I am, and that's what I'm going to do from now on," she said. "Patrick loved people, too, and he was so funny. People said he was like a comedian he made them laugh so much."

She also remembers her son as "a neat freak."

"His buddies called me from Iraq and told me how neat he kept his room there," she said. "And when he came home, he'd do the lawn, and people would come by and say, 'Well, that is a Patrick job.' "

Patrick's grandmother, Dorothy Tinnell, also of Lake Havasu City, remembers her grandson as a young man "with so many friends. They admired him. And admired him for joining the service.

"That was his decision, all his."

Tinnell is the 65th soldier with Arizona ties to die in Iraq since the war began. Six have died in Afghanistan.

Pat was my little cousin but more like my little brother. He had so much love and energy around him. It's hard to believe that he is gone. It still doesn't seem real.

I just wanted to leave a message to anyone who reads this about what a great guy patrick was. I never personally met him but I do know what an influence he has had on peoples lives. My brother Andrew Jechorek was one of his best friends and also served with him until the end over in Iraq. Andy had all great things to say about him and said he was a great soldier. Everyone needs to salute all these soldiers who have given their lives and the ones who have not because they are brave and courageous men and women.
