SFC Michael M.J. Hebert

SFC Michael M.J. Hebert, 42, of Fond du Lac, died Friday, May 12, 2006, in Temple, Texas, as a result of injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident.

Michael was born Jan. 31, 1964, in Fond du Lac, son of the late Maynard I. and Marjory J. Lyons Hebert. On June 22, 1989, he married Renate Herrmann in Denmark.

Michael was a 21-year veteran of the US Army and was currently serving at Fort Hood, Texas. He entered the service in November of 1985.

Among his citations are the Bronze Star w/V device, the Purple Heart, and several Army Commendation awards. Mike was an avid Packer fan no matter where he was stationed, and loved playing pool. He was a loving husband and caring father. Even though he received many awards for valor and service, his greatest accomplishments were his two children.
