Friends and family say goodbye to the Brooklyn soldier who died in a training accident in Fort Hood, Texas, earlier this month.
Staff Sergeant Miguel Angel Colon-Vasquez was one of nine soldiers who was killed after their vehicle was swept away by floodwaters.
Fort Hood officials say it will be a while before they can release any information on the accident.
The 38-year-old was laid to rest at the Texas State Veterans cemetery in Killeen, Texas.
"He'd give his shirt off his back," said Staff Sergeant Perrin Gori. "I've seen him do it, he'd give his last couple of dollars in his wallet to a homeless veteran. He loved his family. He loved everybody he met. He never made enemies and he was just a good honest man."
Sergeant Colon-Vasquez leaves behind a wife and four children.
