Services will be held at 11 a.m. Monday at the Moriarty Civic Center in Moriarty for Spc. Walter Lewark, with internment planned on a later date at the Santa Fe National Cemetery.
The Defense Department said the Mountainair resident died in a non-combat incident in the Horn of Africa nation of Djibouti but did not release additional information on circumstances of his death.
Lewark was assigned to a Rio Rancho-based National Guard unit. He also was a Mountainair police officer and a volunteer firefighter.
Lewark was a private first class when he died. But the National Guard promoted him posthumously to specialist.
