The student group BUILD is looking for family members and friends of these fallen Aggies...

Lt Joel Korkowski '94 USN

LTC Jerry Don Dickerson '92 ARMY

CPT Lyle Gordon '97 USMC (TAMU E-2)

CPT Sean Edward Lyerly '98 TXNG (TAMU L-1)

They are hoping to honor their memories by dedicating a Mobile Medical Unit in their names this year. They would like to include their friends and families in the Dedication Ceremony and Gala.

Please let me know if you have any contacts.....

Thank you,
Leslie '90

Lislie, I'm one of Lyle's buddies. Not sure how many of us are on TexAgs, but I'm sure one of us can get you pointed in the right direction.

Jerry Dickerson '92 earned his Masters Degree at A&M and was killed in the Pentagon on 9/11.
It's unlikely that anybody on here knew him because he would have been about 10 years older than Class of '92 undergrads.

Looks like he was from Durant, MS.

Can we corespondent via email? (I tried to message, but it wouldn't go through)

I try to make the first contact with the families/friends, then connect them to the BUILD leadership team. Some families have asked that we delay honoring their lost Aggies for various reasons, so I like to be sure they are ready before connecting them to the students.

My email is leasterwood@cvm.tamu.edu

I have been sleuthing all information on him for several years. We would like to honor him this year due to the 20th Anniversary of 9/11, but I have not been able to locate a contact.

I'll keep trying though…..

Thank you for helping!!

Here's some leads for Joel Korkowski, '94
Joel's widow, Kristin Korkowski Darlington '95
From his obit: his brother, Luke Korkowski, of Washington, D.C.; his mother, Sarah Korkowski, of Rushville, Ill.; and grandfather, Don Korkowski, of Peoria, Ariz.
FindAnAggie lists his widow as Kristin A. "Kris" (Ostrand) Darlington '95, a Personal Trainer from Houston, TX
You should be able to get her contact info from the Association.

FindAnAggie shows that Jerry Don Dickerson '92 has 1 son and 1 daughter who are Aggies but names not given. Again, the Association likely has that info and possible contact info on them.

Regarding CPT Lyle Gordon '97 USMC: the notification has links to Together We Served USMC memorial page cared for by Thomas R Bailey '63 (his home address is listed on his FindAnAggie profile along with email link). Try that.

Regarding CPT Sean Edward Lyerly '98 TXNG: his obit states "Survivors include his wife of four years, Csilla; a son; his father, George E. Lyerly '67; his mother; a brother; and his grandmothers."
George's employment is listed as Land & Sea Consultants, Inc right here in B/CS. His home address is listed in his FindAnAggie profile as well as email contact portal. The Association should have his contact info.
Sean's brother is George E. "Junior" Lyerly Jr. '12 of Wallis, TX.
