18th Wing Commander sends condolence message Published Aug. 18, 2011 By Brig. Gen. Matthew H. Molloy 18 Wing Public Affairs KADENA AIR BASE, Japan -- It is with great sadness that I inform you of the loss of two of our talented Shogun Airmen. Monday night, SSgt Ronald Dayce, a member of the 18th Component Maintenance Squadron, and SrA Kristie Marie Arroyo, a member of the 909th Air Refueling Squadron flight record management section, both died from injuries suffered during a traffic accident. SSgt Dayce was an exceptional NCO and SrA Arroyo an outstanding Airman -- both were dedicated warriors and valued patriots who died while serving their country overseas. SSgt Dayce is survived by his wife and unborn son, his son, mother, father, and his 18th CMS family. SrA Arroyo is survived by her husband, mother, father, stepfather, sisters, and 909th ARS family. If you feel the need to talk about this loss, there are many ways to get help. Your chain of command, the wing chaplains, mental health providers at the base clinic and the military family life consultant at the Airmen and Family Readiness Center are all available to meet your needs. The victims' families, our 18th Wing family, countless friends, and the United States Air Force mourn the loss of these two Airmen. Please remember them in your thoughts and prayers in the days and weeks ahead. The memorial service for SrA Arroyo will be on Aug. 22 at 3 p.m. at Chapel 1. The memorial service for SSgt Dayce will be held Aug. 23 at 1:30 p.m. at Chapel 1.
