Sergeant Kevin Joseph Pearson Sas

Extended Description
SAS soldier who survived tours of duty in Afghanistan, Bosnia and Northern Ireland has been killed in a motorcycle accident.

Sgt Kevin Joseph Pearson, who was 36, grew up in York, and attended Fishergate School and then Oaklands School. He joined the Queen’s Own Yeomanry cadet force when he was 13, along with his best friend, Lee Moran.

Sgt Pearson joined the Green Howards when he was 17, serving in Northern Ireland and Bosnia. He remained in the regiment for more than ten years before passing selection and being accepted by the Special Air Service.

He had recently returned from operations in Afghanistan, but was killed on October 25 in Herefordshire when his red Ducati motorbike was in a collision with a Suzuki car.

Sgt Pearson was given a 21-gun salute and an RAF flypast. A bugler played and two former comrades parachuted in, one carrying the SAS Squadron’s flag and the other carrying a black flag.

RIP Brother
