Middleville soldier dies in Afghanistan Nick Roush was 22 Updated: Monday, 17 Aug 2009, 6:42 PM EDT Published : Monday, 17 Aug 2009, 2:18 PM EDT Rachael Ruiz GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) - His dad described Nick Roush as an "avid car freak" who was "really determined to serve his country." He signed up for a five-year Army committment, put on weight and developed language skills that he knew would be beneficial. Roush, 22, died Sunday in Herat, Afghanistan from an improvised explosive device. He was assigned to the 1st Psychological Operations Battalion, 4th Psychological Operations Group (Airborne), Fort Bragg, N.C. He was a corporal in the Special Ops, his dad, Robert, told 24 Hour News 8. Roush spent time rebuilding cars, and while he was in high school, played golf for the Thornapple Kellogg team. A Middleville native, he was last home at Easter. He left for Afghanistan right after his visit. Besides his father, Roush is survived by his mother Donna and his brothers Bobby and Kyle. Funeral arrangements are pending
Please pray for Nick's family, I'm so sad that Nick is gone...He was sooo hilarious! Remember the fallen, Thank the one's serving our country, They really do deserve it!

God bless you Nick, thank you for serving our country and fighting for our freedom. So sorry for your loss!
RIP Nick, Thank you for all you have done and for my freedom.
I am proud of all the men and women who so proudly serve our country and not from what they get from it but just because they love it so much. Not everyone deserves the title of Hero but Nick certainly does!
My prayers go out to his family, may they have hope and remember that God has promised us a reunion day and they WILL see Nick again one day ~ May they have pride in their hearts that their son so loved our country that he laid down his life for it and that he did not die in vain and may God wrap them in His loving care and give them comfort during this difficult time.
I will be praying for his friends and family. I don't know what they are going through with his death, but my hubby was injured in Iraq. My prayers are with them!
Rest Well Nick. We mourn your passing and the passing of all of our service men and women.
