Yorba Linda, CA:

Army Staff Sgt. Daniel Lim has been laid to rest in an emotional military funeral at Korean Martyrs Catholic Center in Westminster on Monday.



Lim, 23, was killed July 24 along with three other soldiers when their vehicle was attacked by insurgents with an improvised explosive device in Qalat, Afghanistan.


Lim was born in Cypress and graduated from Pacifica High School in Garden Grove in 2005, his family moved to Yorba Linda four years ago.

"It is with a heavy heart that I ask our Yorba Linda residents to join us in mourning the loss of one of our own, U.S. Army Sergeant Daniel Lim.  Sergeant Lim served admirably and honorably in Afghanistan bringing the fight to the enemy so that we may live at peace here at home.  We salute Sergeant Daniel Lim and we humbly offer our deepest sympathies and support to his family," said Yorba Linda Mayor John Anderson in a prepared statement.


Lim was studious, close with his sister and a devout Catholic.
