Fuchigami was a native of Hawaii whose wife, McKenzie Norman, is from Utah. The Utah National Guard said Fuchigami's remains were scheduled to arrive Saturday at the Ogden-Hinkley Airport and then be transported to a mortuary in Brigham City. Funeral services are scheduled Monday morning, followed by burial services that will include full military honors and a military aircraft flyover.
