James “Jimmy” J. Casadona, Jr., age 28, went to be with the Lord on April 6, 2018 as a result of a training accident with the 101st Combat Aviation Brigade. Jimmy was born on March 29th, 1990 in Trenton, New Jersey. He enlisted on February 13th, 2012 in the United States Marine Corps where he served for four years. During his last year in the Marine Corps, he successfully applied to become an Army Aviator. After receiving his discharge from the United States Marine Corps, he attended Warrant Officer Candidate School and Initial Entry Rotary Wing Training at Ft. Rucker, Alabama. Upon graduation, he was stationed at Ft. Campbell, Kentucky where he served as a Pilot in the 1-101st Aviation Regiment.

 

His awards and decorations include the Army Commendation Medal, Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal, Marine Good Conduct Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, US Army Service Ribbon, Navy and Marine Corps Sea Service Deployment Ribbon, Basic Parachutist Badge, US Army Aviator Badge and the Army Commendation Medal.
