The Navy SEAL community is in mourning yet again, albeit this time around, the cause is not combat-related.

The Navy Times reported the passing of a decorated Navy SEAL, in a motorcycle accident in Bali, Indonesia. Chief Special Warfare Operator (SEAL) Michael R. Tatham, 33, figured in a motorcycle crash while on leave in Indonesia, and was killed.

Capt. Collin Green, commander of Naval Special Warfare Group 1 at Naval Base Coronado in California, described Tatham in a statement as “a dedicated SEAL and a cherished teammate.” He went on to say that “He was the epitome of professionalism, and his humble and selfless service to our country made him a role model for all.”

Tatham hails from Fayetville, North Carolina, and enlisted in October 2002. He was forward deployed to Afghanistan with a naval special warfare unit based in the West Coast. He was a member of the Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL (BUD/S) Class 248, completing the training in April 2004. Tatham then went on to report to his West Coast-based SEAL team, and proceeded to advanced training.

The highly-decorated combat Veteran is the recipient of the following awards: the Bronze Star Medal with combat “V;” the Joint Service Achievement Medal; four Navy-Marine Corps Achievement Medals including one with “V;” two Good Conduct Medals; the National Defense Service Medal; the Iraq Campaign Medal; the Afghanistan Campaign Medal; the Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal; the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal; three Sea Service Deployment Ribbons; and the NATO Service Medal, among others.
