I'm proud that he liked what he was doing.... He was a wonderful kid, a terrific little kid, joyful, sweet and wonderful. It's a terrific loss.
— Geraldine Kowalczyk, mother
The youngest of seven in a military family, Kowalczyk loved adventure. He was a decade older than most other soldiers in his unit, who looked at him as an "older brother." He requested that his body be cremated and his ashes scattered off the coast of Marin County, where he liked to surf.
