CHUBBUCK, Idaho — The death of a young Idaho soldier in a helicopter accident in Hawaii has prompted an outpouring of grief and support from friends and acquaintances in southeastern Idaho.

Jonathan Bryce Millward, 28, of Chubbuck, Idaho, and Chief Warrant Officer Stanley Blane Hepfner, 29, of Hubbard, Ohio, died when their two-seat OH-58D Kiowa Warrior went down Wednesday on the landing strip at Wheeler Army Airfield on Oahu.
Since then, more than 70 people posted comments on a Facebook page dedicated to Millward, including reminiscences of their encounters with the former Idaho State University student.
Millward joined the Army in 2006 and was assigned to Schofield Barracks last year.
