Jamie O. Maugans Obituary

An American flag with Jamie's name on a gold tape has been placed before our home this Memorial Day. Each year the fallen are remembered throughout our community by caring citizens. We know that Afghanistan was a very dangerous place for our Soldiers. Our thoughts and prayers to all who have suffered this way.

Happy Memorial Day dear old friend. I wanted to let you know that you are still in my thoughts and prayers and you are not forgotten. It has been a while since I last visited you but thinking of you this weekend. Next time I am in Derby, I will stop by and say hello.
Rest and keep singing.
Brandon

SGT Maugans, Its been over 7 years since I had one of the saddest and hardest days of my career in EOD. I didn't know you very long, but I knew you were a great Soldier and a great EOD Tech. Above all you were a great man and friend to all those around you. You are missed and will never be forgotten...

Thank you for your sacrifice. Gone, never forgotten. Rest In Peace.

To the family of Sgt. Jamie O. Maugans:
Jamie gave the ultimate sacrifice and will be held in the hearts of Americans forever. I cannot and will not let our fallen heroes be forgotten. My deepest sympathy to you. "Some gave all."

When I served with then PFC Maugans, I could never have asked for a better classmate. Always ready to help study for those grueling tests. Always ready with a laugh or a joke. I am proud to have been able to call you friend. I will never forget how my heart broke when I heard the news. You are truly missed and the world is a little darker since your light has gone from us.

It is difficult to know what to say since I want to express my sincere sympathy to the family and friends of Sgt Maugans. Please know that your loved one is not forgotten. I wish everyone impacted by this tragic loss strength and peace. I hope that Sgt Maugans knew that there are people in America who respect his great courage in serving as a member of the US military. Although I did not know him, I know that he must have been a very special person to be willing to do something that most Americans will never have to experience and for that we can never say thank you enough.
Thank you Sgt Maugans!

Family of Sgt. Jamie Maugans:

Hi, my name is Eric Frantz, your neighbor. I would like to extend my heartfelt condolences to your family. Jamie gave the ultimate gift to his country, his life. I know that words cannot and will not make it any easier. I have also lost. My brother, Spc. Matthew C. Frantz, was killed in Iraq on January 20th, 2006. I know what you are going through. Its a strange thing to kind of sit back and realize... "He's really gone." Time doesn't make it any easier, it just makes it more familiar.

Let's get together sometime and share each other's stories. I know that for me, the best grieving was done with another Gold Star Family.

"We should not only mourn these men and women who died, we should also thank god that such people lived." - General George S. Patton

The Wind on The Downs

“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”

(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )

Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….

“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”

I did not know Jamie, but I am
remembering his service.
He is my hero.

The Other Side

i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.

can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.

i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side

the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

You were a wonderful man and we miss you dearly. You have been loved by many people who still care. You served with a wonderful unit and they honor you and miss you. Thanks to everyone who has signed this guest book.

I still miss you maugans.

Jamie,
You are an inspiration. I am proud to have stood by you and considered a friend to you. You are a hero and will NEVER be forgotten. Thank you for everything, especially for your sacrifice. Guard those gates well Sergeant. Thank you

You are remembered and respected. Thank you Sgt Maugans!

Sorry I did not get a chance to work with you, but I heard nothing but great things about you after taking Command of the 710Th in 2003. You are truly missed by so many. MAJ Rhone

Sgt Jamie Maugans stands in formation with other fallen heros constantly watching over us all. Let us not let them down and when our time comes let us be found as worthy.

God Bless Jamie and his family.

If this person can stand in battle to ensure my freedom, then I will stand in grief with his/her family to honor him/her. For every fallen HERO there is a bright star that shines in the evening sky to remind us of the cherished gift we were given – even if for too short a time.
My heart breaks again as I sign yet another guest book of another courageous young soldier who gave their life so selflessly. I wish I never found myself in a position to have to sign another guest book for the rest of my life, but I promised LE RON A. WILSON (a dear friend KIA 7/6/07, 18yrs old) that neither he nor any like him would be forgotten and so I will continue until the day there is no longer the need.
