Navy SEAL killed in accident named
Colorado man, 29, had been SEAL for only six months
By Jeanette Steele 04:45p.m. Mar 19, 2015
A 29-year-old Navy SEAL who had only recently earned his trident pin was identified as the sailor killed in Wednesday’s parachute training accident in Southwest Riverside County.
Special Warfare Operator 3rd Class Jason Kortz was from Highlands Ranch, Colo., and is survived by his wife, parents and brother.
The Navy said it is investigating the incident, which reportedly occurred after Kortz’s parachute malfunctioned during training in Perris.
Kortz enlisted in October 2012 and graduated from boot camp the next month. In September of last year, he completed the long physical training to become a SEAL. He was assigned to a Coronado unit.
Kortz held an accounting degree from the University of Denver and a master's of business administration. He was named the honor man, or top performer, of his SEAL class.
“Losing such a promising special operator is a tragedy, not just for his family and the Naval Special Warfare community, but also for this nation who needs men of such uncompromising character in these uncertain times, ” said Capt. Todd Seniff, Commodore of Naval Special Warfare Group One, in a statement released Thursday.
His awards and decorations include the Navy/Marine Corps Achievement Medal, National Defense Service Medal and Global War on Terrorism Service Medal.
