KETCHIKAN -- Shipmates of Petty Officer 1st Class Sefton Reid tossed flowers in the water following Thursday's memorial service for the Coast Guardsman who died while fishing south of Ketchikan last week.
A Jayhawk helicopter crew conducted a fly-by after the service attended by members of the Coast Guard and the community.
The 31-year-old left behind four children. His father, Mark Reid, broke into tears during the singing of "Amazing Grace."
Reid's family will hold an additional memorial later this month in Jamaica.
