Michael G. Cahill was a dedicated physician's assistant, voracious reader and history buff who remembered the smallest details about the most remote places.
"The night before he died, we sat and watched the Mark Twain awards," said his wife, Joleen Cahill of Cameron, Tex. "And we just sat there laughing."
Cahill, 62, was among the 13 people killed in a shooting rampage Thursday at Fort Hood. He is survived by his wife; daughter Keely and son-in-law Lee; daughter Kerry; son James; and grandson Brody. Michael G. Cahill had been a physician's assistant for 22 years.
A retired chief warrant officer in the National Guard, Cahill had been a physician's assistant for 22 years, working in remote rural clinics and veterans hospitals. For the past six years he had worked at Fort Hood as a contract civilian employee.
"He loved working with people," Joleen Cahill said.
Cahill, who was originally from Washington state, and his wife, from Montana, were four years from retiring.

His father is probably Hmong form Laos. Brave allies during Vietnam War. Most paid a tragic price. We still owe them.
Well you know its hard for Americans to understand that religious fervor is not derangement. He was not in fact deranged, which implies he was out of contol. This man Hasan was calm and methodical, he was conducting the religious ritual of a Mujihad, knowing that if he died, both he and his victims would join before Allah in heaven.
Thats hard for us to wrap our minds around, but he was not deranged at all.
Take a look:
Witnesses described Hasan, who was wearing an Army uniform during the assault, as steely calm. He paused only to reload one of his handguns.
(Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Tex.) )She said he targeted specific people as he stalked through a deployment center, two handguns blazing.* (Senator Hutchison took notes from people who were at the scene, knowing the facts would be spun.)
“It was very deliberate in his approach, they said that he was calm,” Lt. Gen. Robert W. Cone, the base commander at Fort Hood, told “Good Morning America” today.
“He was shooting people more than once if he could,” said Cone.

Munley took down a stone, cold killer, who was fully in control of himself, a Mahujadine blazing with the inner spiritual fire of Allah, pure evil. That makes her deed all the more heroic.Allah and Jehovah in that sense had a shoot out, and Jehovah got the drop on Allah.Stopped him cold.
That makes her accomplishment all the more significant. And the Muzzies are trembling over it, as well they should.
God almighty did send an angel, and she was victorious.
God bless her and keep her.She is every American patriot. The nation is full of us.
Prayers up for those who lost their loved ones to this religious genocide.
RIP Michael Cahill. May God rest your dedicated soul for services rendered in and out of uniform to your country and fellow man, and may He comfort your wife and loved ones secure in the knoweldge of a glorious resurrection and reunion in His time and in His kingdom.
So very, very sad.
So unnecessary.
Prayers.
13 died but there are only 11 here in this article. Wonder if baby Velez is #13 or there were really 14 deaths.
“13 died but there are only 11 here in this article.”
I think maybe they haven’t done the notifications yet or something? So names haven’t been released. I can’t find anything on the remaining 2.
May God rest his soul.
BTTT.
