Jonathan Blunk had high hopes for the future, with plans to re-enlist in the Navy and the goal of becoming a Navy SEAL.
The 26-year-old served three tours in the Persian Gulf and North Arabian Sea between 2004 and 2009, said close friend James Gill of Brighton, Colo. Blunk was also a certified firefighter and emergency medical technician, Gill added.
Blunk most recently lived in Aurora and worked for a small flooring company. His estranged wife, Chantel Blunk, lives with their 4-year-old daughter and 2-year-old son in Reno, Nev.
