The family of LCpl Stephen Bradley Rainoff, and the US Marine Corps have requested the Patriot Guard to accompany Stephen on his journey to his final resting place. It will be our honor to do so.
Stephen, was born on 28 Dec 1996 and passed on 24 Mar 22. He was the son of Frank Rottach and the late Susan Rainoff.
LCpl Rainoff had only been in the Marines for about a year and was stationed at the Marine Corps Air Combat Center in 29 Palms at the time of his passing. He was recognized by his fellow Marines as being very well liked and a squared away Marine looking forward to a great future with the Corps.
He is survived by his father Frank Rottach. His brother Franz, sisters Andrea Rainoff and Andrea Freeman. His mother Susan Rainoff preceded him in death.
