Two Columbia military members have died in the last five days.

20-year-old Army Reserves member Zane Lee died on Sunday. An online obituary says he "died in Indianapolis surrounded by his loving family and comrades." His visitations will be from 5:00 to 8:00 Friday night at the Bach-Yager Funeral Chapel, and from noon to 3:00pm on Saturday. His funeral will be at 3:00pm Saturday, followed by burial with full military honors at Columbia Cemetery.

The Department of Defense says 21-year-old Army soldier Sterling Wyatt was killed Wednesday by an IED while on patrol in Afghanistan. There is no word yet on his funeral arrangements.
