KETCHIKAN -- The Coast Guard has scheduled a memorial service for a petty officer who died in a fishing accident.
The service for Petty Officer Sefton Reid will be held today in Ketchikan, where the 11-year guard member has been stationed for a year.
The Coast Guard says Reid was fishing from the shore in Herring Cove eight miles south of Ketchikan on Saturday. He was hit by a wave, pulled into the water, and did not resurface.
Reid was pronounced dead after his body was recovered by the Ketchikan Fire Department.
The Coast Guard says Reid leaves behind four children.
