Prosser, a staff sergeant, is survived by his wife, Shawna, his parents and three brothers, Jarudd, Mike and Reed.
Prosser was a 10-year Army veteran. He enlisted shortly after his 1991 graduation from Maricopa High School, where he had been football team captain.
Reached at his Frazier Park home, the soldier's father spoke briefly about his son.
"He was a warrior and he was doing what he wanted to do," said Brian D. Prosser. "He was a brave man and he was willing to pay the price. I can't talk anymore. You understand."
The younger Prosser, who was tall and wiry, decided to emulate his father, who once served in an Army Airborne unit. So he enlisted.
Brian Prosser, who owned a blacksmith shop, often worked side by side with his son, whom many in town called Cody.
"Cody really enjoyed working at that shop," said neighbor Charlie Watkins, 79. "Cody's dad loved that boy. I know he was the proudest father in the world when Cody made Airborne."
