Kevin Tillman

Kevin Tillman is a former Major League Baseball player who left the Anaheim Angels after September 11, 2001 to enlist in the United States Army. With his brother, former National Football League star Pat Tillman, he completed training for the elite Army Ranger school in late 2002, and were assigned to the second battalion of the 75th Ranger Regiment in Fort Lewis, Washington. Both Pat and Kevin Tillman were deployed to the Middle East as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom.

In 2004, Pat Tillman was killed in combat while in Afghanistan by friendly fire.
