USA Spc. Jerod Heath Osborne KIA returning home to N. Tex.
Spc. Jerod H. Osborne
Spc. Jerod Heath Osborne, age 20, was born February 23, 1990, at Baylor Hospital in Dallas, TX, and passed away July 5, 2010, in Afghanistan. He was on active duty as a combat medic in the 82nd Airborne stationed there. When Jerod was young, his family moved from the Rockwall, TX, area to Seattle, WA, and then to Honolulu, HI, for five years. He never met a stranger and knew all of the people near his home and on the beach. The family moved back to the Rockwall area to help care for his grandfather, who died in 1997. The family decided to stay and made Rockwall their home.
Jerod graduated from Rockwall-Heath High School in 2008, after spending his senior year preparing to go into the Army to become a medic. Jerod began his Army career in boot camp in Ft. Leonard Wood, and then was assigned to the 182nd Airborne. He transferred to Ft. Benning, GA, for training, then in March of this year transferred to Ft. Bragg. Jerod received several medals for his dedication above and beyond regular duty. On March 26, 2010, he was sent to Afghanistan after a visit with family and friends.
Jerod is survived by his parents: Sharon Grillett and husband Gary of Rockwall, TX, and Allan G. Osborne, III, of Caddo Mills, TX, sister: Hayley Grillett, brothers: Wau-tash, Nako and Nah-tah-ni Grillett and grandparents: Charlotte Henson of Rockwall, TX, Marilyn Osborne of Baltimore, MD, and Patricia Burchwell of TX.

2I am sorry for your loss. I am a Marine and I have lost several friends to this conflict. What is going on over there never really hits home until it is one of our own or someone from our community. Your family is in my prayers and I pray that all of your family can be at peace with what has happened. If it weren’t for people like your son and other soldiers just like him our country would not be as great as it is.
