From the September 30, 2021, Fox 2 Detroit "Detroit Navy vet lost at sea in Pearl Harbor has remains id'd with DNA, will be laid to rest" by Amy Lange and David Komer.
Irvin Franklin Rice was 22 years old and a radioman 3rd class when he met his death aboard the USS Oklahoma in Pearl Harbor. His remains were recently identified through DNA.
The funeral service will be held at Roseland Park Cemetery in Berkley on Saturday afternoon. This is where his parents had placed a headstone years ago reading "Lost in Action at Pearl Harbor."
Many veterans organizations will be on hand as well as an escort by the Patriot Guard.
The procession will leave the funeral home in Livonia and go up I-275 to I-696 to Woodward Avenue. Plans are being made for spectators to line this thoroughfare waving flags all the way.
He will be laid to rest with full military honors.
