Marines: Perhaps you have heard the stunning news already but in case you
haven't I'm Emailing you what I know. CWO4 Derwin McGriff USMC died of a
fatal heart attack in his office this past
Saturday. He might have had a
history of heart issues.
He and several Marines were at the office in the Pentagon. He didn't look
well and was sweating a lot. Within a short time of arriving, SSgt Cerveny
checked on him and he was convulsing. She called 911, who arrived within
several minutes. EMTs tried to revive him, working on him for about an hour
in the common spaces at the JADIV. Despite their best efforts, he passed
away.
His next of kin, a sister, was notified late Saturday evening. JA is
awaiting instructions from the family. JA anticipates a memorial service
later this week.
He was a great Marine and a dear person. My prayer is not only to thank God
for Derwin's life but for comfort to those Marines who were with him on
Saturday. They're taking it pretty hard. Stunning news. I'll relay info as
I get it.
