SGT Devin Seibel made the ultimate sacrifice while conducting a training mission near Erbil Air Base, Iraq, on May 31, 2026.

Devin had a servant’s heart and an adventurous and congenial personality. He made friends everywhere that he went. Devin was truly the best of us and never put himself above anyone.

Devin was loved by so many and touched the lives of everyone he met in a memorable way. He was an incredible human being, courageous, strong, and selfless. As part of the Army’s air ambulance battalion, Devin cared for the sick and wounded and earned numerous awards, decorations, and commendations for his service, dedication, and skill. He took on every challenge that came his way, embraced every opportunity (as well as those he created for himself), always looking for the next adventure he could tackle, whether it be graduating with top honors, teaching fellow medics, devising his own training programs both for medicine and the gym, building things out of wood, and many other hobbies that he took on. Devin worked tirelessly to be the best he could be in any venture. His dauntless spirit forever sought ways to extract the most joy from life.

Devin was born in Waco and grew up in the Central Texas Region. At Rapoport Academy and Crawford High School, he ran cross country, played tennis, and took part in many other sports and activities. He enlisted in the Army early, following in his brother’s footsteps. He loved boxing and games, often playing with friends and family, and he harbored a particular fondness for sheep, but he loved all animals and grew up surrounded by rescues that he, his mother, and his brother had found who were in need of his help and his heart. He leaves behind many wonderful memories of traveling, hiking, finding cool outdoor spots to explore, and running trails around Texas, Colorado, or wherever he happened to be. He loved Galveston as much as the mountains. Devin constantly explored new places, was fascinated with history, in particular anything to do with pirates, and was partial to finding small local restaurants off the beaten path, though he really was happy anywhere that had good food! We all treasure the many meals and drinks enjoyed in his company and the many hours spent playing games together. He made simply being together fun.

Devin leaves behind his wife, Maddy; daughter, Diana; mother, Suzie McMillan; brother, Kameron Seibel; and father, Graeme Seibel. He also leaves behind so many friends that we do not have the space to list them all.
