Forsyth County lowers flags to honor fallen Lt. Tyler Feehan
Forsyth County lowered flags for 1st Lt. Tyler James Feehan as mourners lined Canton roads for his final procession and burial at Georgia National Cemetery.
Forsyth County facilities flew flags at half-staff Friday for 1st Lt. Tyler James Feehan, the 25-year-old Georgia soldier killed in an Iranian attack on a U.S. air base in Jordan. The county’s tribute followed Gov. Brian Kemp’s executive order and came as Feehan was laid to rest at the Georgia National Cemetery in Canton.
Feehan served in the 2nd Battalion, 55th Air Defense Artillery Regiment under the 32nd Army Air and Missile Defense Command. He was raised in Bryan County and primarily lived in Georgia.
Kemp ordered Georgia flags lowered on Friday, Aug. 7, the same day Feehan was buried in Canton. Forsyth County joined the statewide remembrance by lowering flags at county facilities, and Georgia College & State University also posted flag-lowering notices in response to the governor’s order.
The community’s public farewell began with a memorial service scheduled for 6 p.m. Thursday at Woodstock Funeral Home. On Friday, people were asked to line the roadway for Feehan’s funeral procession as it passed through Canton, including near Williamson Bros B-B-Q on Marietta Highway, as it made its way to the Georgia National Cemetery.
Feehan died July 18, 2026, during the attack at Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan.
