My most sincere condolences to the family and friends of Daniel Arthur Durgin.
(News Article Below)
April 29, 2008 12:02:00 AM
A Nevada County man survived a tour in Iraq but was killed when his motorcycle was hit from behind in downtown Marysville.
Daniel Arthur Durgin, 33, a 14-year veteran of the Naval Reserve, died at Rideout Memorial Hospital after the accident about 5 p.m. Sunday at Fourth and E streets.
Durgin was to be married to Sierra Knapp of Lincoln on May 24, said his sister, Brynda Traylor of Penn Valley.
"He loved being in the Navy. The only one he loved more was Sierra," said Traylor.
Durgin served as a corpsman with a Marine Corps unit in Iraq. His tour there ended in October 2006, she said.
Durgin had a master's degree in microbiology and worked as a licensed vocational nurse in the hospital at Mule Creek State Prison in Amador County.
Marysville police said Durgin was waiting for a traffic signal at Fourth and E streets when he was hit from behind by a van and dragged 60 feet or more. None of the van occupants were injured, police said.
Durgin had spent the week end visiting his mother, niece and nephew in Big Oak Valley and was heading to the home he shared with Knapp, said Traylor.
Usually, he cut through Beale Air Force Base. But on Sunday he did not have the reflective jacket Beale requires motorcycle riders to wear, and so was riding through Marysville, she said.
The van was impounded and will be inspected for mechanical defects. Results of an investigation will be forwarded to the Yuba County District Attorney's Office, said Detective Sgt. Mark Cummings.
Baron did not show any sign of intoxication, Cummings said.
Durgin did other overseas military tours, including in the Philippines, and was "very decorated." He had just been given a Navy and Marine Corps achievement medal, said Traylor.
"He was an amazing brother. He loved my kids so much. He was a great uncle," said Traylor |

Another Mother asked President W. Wilson, "Why did my Child have to die on the battlefield of France ?" Yet another Mother asked President Lincoln,"Why did my Child have to die at Gettysburg ?" And yet another Mother asked President G.Washington, "Why did my Child have to die near Valley Forge?" Long, long ago a Mother (Mary) asked, "Heavenly Father, why did my Child have to die on a cross outside Jerusalim?" All the answers are so near the same. One died to save our Souls and the others died to protect our Freedoms. |

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Daniel Arthur Durgin, USN. May God help you though this difficult time and sorrow. He is
one of America's Heroes that will never be forgotten.
Rest Safely and Securely in God's Loving Arms, Daniel.
Going home, going home,
I'm just going home.
Quiet-like, slip away-
I'll be going home.
It's not far, just close by;
Jesus is the Door;
Work all done, laid aside,
Fear and grief no more.
Friends are there, waiting now.
He is waiting, too.
See His smile! See His hand!
He will lead me through.
Morning
Star lights the way;
Restless dream all done;
Shadows gone, break of day,
Life has just begun.
Every tear wiped away,
Pain and sickness gone;
Wide awake there with Him!
Peace goes on and on!
Going home, going home,
I'll be going home.
See the Light! See the Sun!
I'm just going home.
