An airman from Greene County was one of the two U.S. military men who were killed Wednesday at an airport in Germany.
Through a family friend we have confirmed that U.S. airmen Zachary Cuddeback was killed yesterday in Frankfurt Germany.
Cuddeback, a 2008 graduate of William Monroe High School, was one of two killed in what's being called an act of terrorism. A gunman opened fire on a bus carrying U.S. service members outside the Frankfurt airport.
A family friend says Cuddeback's parents are working with the military right now and are coping as best as can be. The family has issued the following statement:
Airman First Class and Hockey Player Extraordinaire Zachary Ryan Cuddeback's life was ended abruptly on March 2, 2011 while serving his nation in the Republic of Germany. Zac was an Army brat that called many places his home, but had a special place in his heart for St. Louis, Missouri. In 2008, Zachary graduated high school from William Monroe High School in Stanardsville, Virginia. After a year at Old Dominion University, where Zac played on the ODU Monarch's Ice Hockey Team, he joined the U.S. Air Force in 2009. Zac was a regular at the Charlottesville Ice Park. His love of the Air Force, Cars, and Hockey were paramount in his life. Zac always had a smile on his face for everyone, but had no closer friend than his brother Tim. Zac will be remembered by his family and friends as an automobile enthusiast and for his love of the game of hockey. His mother, De Loyet, father, Bob Cuddeback, and brother and best friend, Tim Cuddeback, will miss him sorely.
At this point U.S. and Germany authorities are still trying to determine the motive for the shooting.
