The 24-year-old was killed in Afghanistan on August 30th. Noziska grew up in Grand Island, but graduated from Papillion-La Vista High School in 2004 and the University of Nebraska at Omaha in 2008.

Funeral services are set for 10 a.m. on September 17th at Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church in Grand Island. Burial will follow at West Lawn Cemetery with full military honors.

Noziska is survived by his parents and brother who live in Grand Island.
