The wife of a U.S. Marine who was killed in a helicopter crash in Nepal last month has given birth to his son.

KNOP reports (http://bit.ly/1ILgy7i ) Capt. Dustin R. Lukasiewicz’s wife, Ashley, gave birth earlier this week. She was pregnant when the 29-year-old from Wilcox, Nebraska, deployed to Nepal to deliver supplies after a major earthquake.

Dustin Lukasiewicz’s father, Keith, says the family brought the boy home from the hospital on Thursday. Lukasiewicz and his wife also have a daughter, Isabelle.

Lukasiewicz and five other Marines died May 12 when their helicopter crashed. Two Nepalese soldiers were also killed in the crash.
