Donavan Macura passes

| June 1, 2018

Stars & Stripes reports that a Marine, Donavan Macura, collapsed on a three-mile run in Okinawa, barely a week into his new assignment;

Donavan Macura, 19, of Kalispell, Mont., was on a 3-mile run when he suddenly dropped to one knee, had a seizure and collapsed, according to the Daily Inter Lake newspaper of Kalispell. Family members were unaware of any previous medical conditions that could have caused his death.

Macura — whose rank was not immediately available — had left Camp Pendleton for Okinawa on May 19, the Marine’s friends said on social media.

Macura enlisted in the Marine Corps after high school, according to the Flathead Beacon. His high school wrestling coach told the Montana newspaper that Macura “stood for what the Marines stand for: doing the right things, working hard, being disciplined, watching out for each other.”
