(North Attleboro, MA) -- A candlelight vigil is planned tonight in North Attleboro for Marine Captain Kyle Van De Geisen. The North Attleboro High School graduate was killed last week in a midair helicopter collision in Afghanistan, just days before he was scheduled to return home from his third tour of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan. The vigil is set for 6:30 p.m. at the Community Field behind town hall. A funeral for Van De Geisen is scheduled for Saturday morning at St. Mary's Catholic Church in North Attleboro. In addition to his parents and siblings, the 29-year-old helicopter pilot leaves a wife, an 18-month-old daughter, and a son due to be born this month.
