Though He brings grief, He will show compassion, so great is His unfailing love.  Lamentations 3:32

 

It is with an ache in our hearts that we announce the passing of Sgt. 1st Class Kristoffer K. Mallett (to the military) and beloved son, brother and friend to many. Kris, was killed in a single vehicle accident in Hoke County, North Carolina on February 2, 2024 and called to be home by his Lord and savior Jesus Christ.

 “Kris was a very memorable person. He loved to make people smile and genuinely cared for others. He was thoughtful and kind and had a strength both in stature and in spirit. Kris was known for his thoughtfulness on asking "How are you doing today?" We will always remember him as a son, brother, friend, Green Beret, and Soldier – he will always have a home here in the Tribe and in the hearts of all those who loved him! He was and is greatly loved and will be greatly missed.
 
 Sgt. 1st Class Mallett was serving as a Special Forces Communications Sergeant in 2nd Battalion, where he was instrumental in the success of multiple combat deployments and unit training events. He furthered his career by teaching his siblings and close friends to be rotten.

 Never forget...we do not grieve like those who have no hope.
 
 Care for the wounded, honor the fallen, continue the mission.

Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his faithful servants.
