Petty Officer 3rd Class Jarod Newlove, a 2003 Sealth graduate killed in Afghanistan last week, was remembered in a candlelight vigil Tuesday night Aug. 3 on the baseball field near Chief Sealth High School at Trenton Street near 29th Avenue S.W.

In an event that was officially closed to the media at the request of the family, there were still satellite trucks for various television stations and photographers on the perimeter of the field, though an official photographer was on site.

Friends, family, teammates and classmates were asked to come before the crowd of approximately 200 people to remember Newlove who played baseball on the very field the memorial service was held.

A fund has been started to aid the Newlove family on a personal blog site where you donate.
The site states:

"All proceeds will go to the family of Jarod Newlove. He bravely lost his life defending our country, but we will not let his memory fade. He was loved by many and will be missed by all. Please help us support the Newlove Family and make a donation in honor of Jarod."
