Steve Gernet, 42, died Jan. 23 when the helicopter in which he was riding was fired on and crashed in central Baghdad as it provided air support for U.S. personnel on the ground, Gernet’s wife, Colleen Head, said.

The helicopter crashed after flying into electrical lines, but U.S. officials said it wasn’t clear if the helicopter was shot down or swooped into the lines while evading enemy fire. Blackwater USA said five of its employees died either from gunfire or the crash. Head said Gernet was among them.

Gernet had worked as a private contractor for Blackwater in Iraq for 1½ years, Head said.

Gernet, who retired from the Army after 20 years, was working in Iraq out of a sense of duty and patriotism, Head said.

“He had gained a lot of specialized skills in his work in the Army,” she

said. “His skills were more geared toward protecting people and defending people. “He was who he was and just so believed in what he was doing.”

Gernet was scheduled to return home Sunday, Head said. He typically worked for three months and then came home for a month, she said.

His last visit was in October, she said, but the couple talked on the phone every day.

Gernet and Head were married for four years. They met at a Halloween party. Gernet enjoyed the outdoors.

“He loved to hike and ski and camp.
