JUSTIN, Texas — A fallen Navy Seal from North Texas will be remembered during a memorial service at Northwest ISD Stadium in Justin next week.

Nathan Gage Ingram, a Byron Nelson High School alumnus, was lost at sea during a January raid on a boat carrying illicit Iranian-made weapons to Yemen, officials said.

In a revised account of what happened, officials said Navy Special Warfare Operator 1st Class Christopher J. Chambers was boarding the boat on Jan. 11 and slipped into the gap the high waves had created between the vessel and the SEALs’ combatant craft. As Chambers fell, Navy Special Warfare Operator 2nd Class Nathan Gage Ingram jumped in to try to save him.

Efforts to find them were unsuccessful.

The North Texas memorial service for Ingram will be at 10 a.m. Feb. 10 at Northwest ISD Stadium in Justin, with doors opening at 8:30 a.m.
