Services will be held in Lancaster Friday and Saturday for Brandon Styer, the 19-year-old Conestoga Valley High School graduate killed by a roadside bomb in southern Afghanistan last week.

Visitation will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. Friday at Fred F. Groff Inc., 234 W. Orange St., his family said.

A service will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday at First United Methodist Church, 29 E. Walnut St. There will not be a viewing at the church.

The burial ceremony will take place afterward at Conestoga Memorial Park on Second Lock Road.

Styer's body will remain at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware until Friday, when a member of his unit will arrive to escort it back to Lancaster County, his father Terry Styer said.

Styer, a U.S. Army combat engineer, was assigned to Operation Enduring Freedom. He was sent to Iraq in March and served seven weeks there before being transferred to Afghanistan.

To honor Brandon and thank him for his service to our country, let's gather along the route of the funeral procession. Saturday morning at 11:00 a.m. Rain or Shine. Find a spot along South Prince Street, or Route 324 (New Danville Pike) or Second Lock Rd.
Are you with me? Will you be there? He was there for us. Now, let's be there to thank him.
