Boatright attended Frisco High School, but also spent time in Denison where his father Mike still lives and works.
He joined the military in 1999 and had been in Iraq since February. He was a member of the Army’s 1st Cavalry Division at Fort Hood and had recently been promoted to sergeant.
Services for Boatright will be held in Frisco sometime next week. He will be buried with full military honors.
