'No family should have to endure this kind of loss, and we hope that Marco's story will serve as a reminder that God's timing is unknown, and we must always be prepared.' Tom and Jessie Parisano also said their son made an indelible impression on all who knew him through his compassion, laughter, and dedication. 'No words can truly capture the depth of our grief, nor the pain of waking up each day without him,' they said in the statement. 'Marco was more than just our child — he was a bright light in our lives, a source of joy, kindness, and unwavering love. His presence was a gift, touching the hearts of everyone who crossed his path.' 18 Army Rangers suspended for allegedly firing blanks at Florida beach Hegseth announces accountability review of Afghanistan withdrawal Coast Guard rescue swimmers saved a worker stuck in hardening concrete after roof collapse This National Guard unit went completely analog to simulate a cyber attack Fewer reenlistment options for soldiers amid high Army retention
