Lieutenant Colonel Paul Wayne Kimbrough
Senior, who died of a heart attack while serving in Afghanistan,
has been laid to rest.
The 44-year-old Little Rock native had lived in Washington,
working in the inspector general`s office of the U.S. Department of
Transportation, before being called to active duty in July.
He was remembered at his funeral yesterday as a man devoted to
his country.
Among those attending the funeral were Congressman Vic Snyder
and former U-S Transportation Secretary Rodney Slater. In addition,
former President Clinton sent a letter that was read during the
service in which Clinton said Kimbrough`s death "is a great loss
to the nation."
After graduating college, Kimbrough went into the Army on active
duty for several years before going to the University of Arkansas
to earn his law degree. At the Fayetteville campus, he become the
head of the Black Law Students Association.
