Staff Sgt. Nicholas A. Sprovtsoff, 28, of Davison, Mich., died Sept. 28 while conducting combat operations in Helmand province, Afghanistan. Sprovtsoff was assigned to 1st Marine Special Operations Battalion, U.S. Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command, Camp Pendleton, Calif. Nicholas was genuinely loved by many and will be forgotten by none. He loved being a Marine and was strong, smart and willing to do any job set before him. He balanced that inherent toughness with a dazzling, freckled grin and a kind heart, especially for his wife and children. He touched many lives and has left a monumental absence in the hearts of many.
