Their Story
Technical Sergeant Timothy Ronn Weiner was a 35-year-old Air Force engineer from Tamarac, Florida. He was assigned to the 775th Civil Engineering Squadron, based at Hill Air Force Base in Utah. The squadron's mission included construction, infrastructure repair, and force protection engineering in deployed environments.
Weiner died on January 7, 2007, in Al Mahmudiyah, a city approximately 20 miles south of Baghdad in Iraq's Babil province. According to U.S. Department of Defense casualty reports, his death was the result of hostile fire. Specific details of the incident, such as whether it involved small arms fire, an improvised explosive device, or indirect fire, were not detailed in the initial release.
Weiner was killed during Operation Iraqi Freedom, a conflict that began with a U.S.-led invasion in March 2003. By early 2007, the war had entered a phase characterized by intense sectarian violence and a sustained insurgency against coalition and Iraqi government forces. Al Mahmudiyah was located within the area known as the 'Triangle of Death,' a region south of Baghdad notorious for frequent attacks.
Weiner's death was recorded by the Department of Defense and reported by major news outlets, including The New York Times, which listed him among the service members killed in Iraq. He was survived by his family in Florida. The Air Force honored his service, and his name is inscribed on memorials, including the Hill Air Force Base Heritage Memorial.
