来自俄亥俄州柏林高地(Berlin Heights)的马克斯顿·索维亚克(Maxton W. Soviak)是爱迪生高中(Edison High School)的毕业生。
俄亥俄州民主党众议员马尔西·卡普图(Marcy Kaptur)在一份声明中说:“我们的国家哀悼海军医护兵马克斯顿·索维亚克的逝世,他面对深不可测的危险时所表现出的非凡勇气,确保了无数平民的安全通行。我们将永远无法偿还欠他的付出,但我们将永远感激他在美国最需要他的时候愿意为国家服务。在这段时间里,我们的心与他的家人同在,我们为他们祈祷,希望他们能在对他的记忆中找到慰藉。”
爱迪生高中校长托马斯·罗斯(Thomas C. Roth)说,马克斯顿受到所有认识他的人的尊敬和喜爱。他在《新闻快报》(Action News)获得的一封信中写道:“马克斯顿做的每件事都充满活力。我们的学校和当地社区都在为失去马克斯顿而哀悼。我们为他和他的家人祈祷。”
“他只是热爱生活,”罗斯告诉 WOIO-TV。“他为他人提供帮助,我想我们都可以从昨天发生的事情中看出,你知道他总是在那里帮助其他人。他想为他人服务,这就是他所做的。”
