TACOMA, Wash. (AP) — The family of a DuPont man told The News Tribune of Tacoma he was one of the seven people killed by a suicide bomber Dec. 30 at a CIA base in Afghanistan.

Dane Clark Paresi was a retired Army master sergeant from a Special Forces group at Fort Lewis who was working as a contractor for the company formerly known as Blackwater.

The 46-year-old Portland native is survived by his wife and two daughters.

His wife, MindyLou Paresi, was at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware Tuesday to meet the flag-draped coffin. She told The News Tribune her husband was closest to the blast.

A wake for Paresi is set for 6 p.m. Friday at Evergreen Memorial Gardens in Vancouver with burial Saturday at Willamette National Cemetery near Portland.
