Individuals USwww.bradenton.com -- NARANJA, Fla. - A Tennessee soldier who grew up in Florida was killed in Iraq when an improvised explosive device hit his battalion,

Staff Sgt. Marco, A. Silva, 27, of Cumberland City, Tenn., died Monday near Ar Ramadi, the Defense Department said. He will be buried in Naranja next week.

Sgt. Corey A. Dan, 22, of Norway, Maine, also died in the incident.

Both men were assigned to the Army's 1st Battalion, 506th Infantry, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division, based on Fort Campbell, Ky.

In an e-mail Silva sent to his family last month, he told them he was fighting in Iraq so you "don't have to suffer with the war," family members said Friday.

"That was his job. He loved to do what he did," his sister Rachel Silva said.

Silva was born in Fort Polk, La., but spent most of his life in Florida. He graduated from Homestead Senior High School in 1999. He joined in the Army in late 2001 and later moved to Cumberland City, Tenn., with his wife, Shannon, and two children, relatives said.

"He was funny. He always like to play around. He loved his children. He loved animals," said Rachel Silva.

He returned to Tennessee last fall for a brief vacation and the family celebrated an early Christmas and Thanksgiving, his sister said.

"He was a good man. He was young and he loved his life," she said. "It's sad, but we supported his decision to go overseas."

Funeral services are scheduled for Friday, March 24, at Palms Woodlawn Funeral Home and Cemetery in Naranja.

As of Thursday, at least 2,311 members of the U.S. military have died since the beginning of the Iraq war in March 2003, according to an Associated Press count. The figure includes seven military civilians. At least 1,808 died as a result of hostile action, according to the military's numbers.

let me say that my heart goes out to SSG Silva's family, SSG Silva was a good man and liked by everyone in the unit, i am in SSG Silva's company and it was hard to hear of his passing on the night of the 13th of march.

I should have done this alot earlier but things like this take a while. Marco had his moments and was as competative and as firery about everything and anything he did in the military and carried out his orders and taskings without complaint nor hesitation. I'll always remember him for the way he used to always threaten to break my legs if I ever ran faster than he did.He always wanted to race me and then we'd ruck against eachother....unfortunatley that friendly rivalry will have to wait a few more years. May he rest in peace.....because I sure can't
