Some residents in a Garden City neighborhood are mourning the loss of a local hero Friday.

Military reports say Marine Lance Corporal Michael Glover was killed during combat in Fallujah, Iraq Wednesday. Neighbors say Glover was in his late 20s and wanted to get his law degree someday.

Those who knew Glover say they are saddened by the news, and say they only have good memories of him. Pat Dignan says she used to drive Glover to church, and remembers him as a good listener who always loved a story.
