Funeral arrangements have been made for a West Chester Twp. Marine who was killed in Afghanistan last week.

A visitation for Sgt. John Patrick “J.P.” Huling will take place from 4 to 9 p.m. Monday at Moeller High School, 9001 Montgomery Road, Montgomery. A funeral Mass will be at 10 a.m. Tuesday at St. Michael’s Church, 11144 Spinner Ave., in Sharonville. Both the viewing and Mass are open to the public.

Huling, 25, was shot in the chest Sunday while on foot patrol, according to his mother, Deborah Huling, of West Chester Twp. The U.S. Department of Defense announced Monday that Sgt. Huling’s death in the Helmand province was reported as the result of gunshot wounds inflicted by a man wearing an Afghan National Army uniform and that his death was under investigation.

Huling was posthumously honored with the Purple Heart award.

His body will arrive at the Butler County Regional Airport around 3 p.m. Sunday. A motorcade will escort the casket from the airport to the Hoddap Funeral Home on Tylersville Road in West Chester Twp. Following the Mass, he will be flown to Washington, D.C., to be buried at Arlington National Cemetery.

Growing up in West Chester Twp., Huling attended St. Michael School in Sharonville before continuing his Catholic school education at Moeller in Montgomery, where he graduated in 2004.

Huling had been in Afghanistan since April. He had also served a tour of duty in Iraq.

In addition to his wife, Priscilla, and parents, John and Deborah Huling, he is survived by his brother, Justin, 23, also a Marine, attending Miami University in Oxford; a sister, Lauren Coach, 30, of Cincinnati; and a niece, Tyrah, 12.
