"Family: Maryville, Tenn., Marine killed in Iraq August 12, 2008

MARYVILLE, Tenn. --A Rhode Island-born Marine who had married about a month ago and just found out his wife was going to have a baby was shot to death in Iraq during a house search, his family said Tuesday.

Sgt. Michael Ferschke (FUR'-skee) Jr. died Sunday, his father said. Ferschke, 22, of Maryville, was assigned to the 3rd Reconnaissance Battalion, 3rd Marine Division and stationed in Okinawa, Japan. Ferschke's father, Michael said his son had been in Iraq since March. He said the newlyweds had just found out they were going to have a baby.

Ferschke, who was a radio operator, completed a diving school while in the Marines and hoped to become a diving instructor. He had the option of finishing his service in the Marines in October, but he felt an obligation to stay and serve a tour in Iraq, like many of his fellow Marines, his father said. His mother, Robin, said Ferschke was an energetic and adventurous teenager who liked riding BMX bikes and skiing. They talked a lot by phone even while he was in Japan and he was always giving advice or trying to help his friends and family, she said.

Ferschke said her son was excited about becoming a father and talked a lot about the things he wanted to share with his child. Ferschke is also survived by his brother and his sister. Funeral services are planned for Sunday in Maryville.
