PORTLAND, Ore. >> The family of an Oregon Marine who died in a training accident in Hawaii in January is burying his remains at home on Sunday.
Lance Cpl. Ty Hart was one of 12 Marines aboard two transport helicopters that crashed off Hawaii.
The Oregonian newspaper reports Hart’s remains arrived in Portland on Saturday night and were driven to his hometown in a procession on Sunday morning before a private ceremony.
The 21-year-old was born and raised in Marion County and was an all-around athlete at Stayton High School. He played football, wrestled, ran track and also played baseball. He graduated in 2012.
He is survived by his wife, Hanna Hart, whom he married last year, as well as his parents and siblings.
Gov. Kate Brown ordered all flags at public institutions to be flown at half-staff on the day of Hart’s memorial service.

It was a sad tragedy. Our hearts go out for the young brave soldier.
Rest in Peace. We are all grateful for these men and women. Hawaii cannot really exist without them. This place is not safe without the military and never has been.
Again we are reminded that service to the nation can sometimes be hazardous even during peace time operations….condolences and sympathies to the families and friends those lost…….
