SEATTLE - A memorial service will be held at the University of Washington for a 23-year-old Marine who was killed Jan. 31 in Afghanistan.

The Defense Department said Stacey was killed by a homemade bomb while on foot patrol. He was on his fourth deployment to Afghanistan. Stacey was assigned to a unit from Camp Pendleton, Calif., and listed his hometown as Redding.
His memorial will be at 4 p.m. Saturday at Meany Hall on the UW campus in Seattle.
