Oklahoma soldier faced danger while serving their country in Operation Iraqi Enduring Freedom only to die in car accidents after returning, friends and family said.

Sean Crockett , 23, was driving on base the evening of May 31, [2004] while stationed at Camp Pendleton, Calif., when he apparently missed a curve in the road and rolled his sport utility vehicle, his family said.

Crockett was flown to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Angie Crockett said her husband had settled down after his "wild and crazy" high school days in Harrah. After he joined the Marine Corps, married and had two children, she said, he told her his life was "a dream that came true."

Crockett said her husband spent nine months in Iraq in early 2003, and was preparing to leave for a second tour.

"He was the answer to my mother's and father's prayers. He was wonderful to me and treated me like a princess," Crockett said.

Sean was a United States Marine who served with the Special Forces during his time in Operation Iraqi Freedom. His biggest concern during his overseas tour of duty was the welfare of the Iraqi children. Sean was a 1999 graduate of Harrah High school. He spent his childhood loving the game of soccer. He was a member of the Allstate West Soccer Team, the Norman Celtics 81's, as well as an Olympic Development Player which allowed him to play his favorite sport all over the country. Sean was a fun-loving prankster that people enjoyed spending time with. He was a Mexican food connoisseur and quite a chef. He really enjoyed animals, movies, music, and Mexican food. Sean married the love of his life, Angie, just two months ago. Sean will be remembered for his passion for life, caring attitude, smiles, and sense of humor.

He is survived by his wife Angie, and two daughters, Makenzie and Makaila; mother and father, Lisa and Ronnie Heinrich; father Dirk Crockett; father in law and mother in law, Steven and Vicky Yeargain; sister, Katie Porter and husband Chris and their two children; sisters Stefanie and Nichole; his aunt and best friend Misty Lathan; and his lifelong friends Jeremy, Mark, and Aaron.
