The family of Cpl Marshall A. Luppke, 21, and the US Marine Corps have invited the Patriot Guard Riders to accompany their Hero as he is transported to the airport to make his way home to Minnesota.
Cpl Luppke was serving with the US Marine Corps at MCAGCC in Twentynine Palms when he sadly passed away. He was a dedicated Marine who is spoken of highly by all who knew him and all that served along side him.
Cpl Luppke was from Lakeville, Minnesota and graduated from high school in the area and participated in several sports. He enlisted in the Marine Corps shortly after high school.
Cpl Luppke is survived by many family members, friends and brothers in arms that will sorely miss him, he will never be forgotten.
