The Speed Shop on Ledo Road printed out several stickers honoring the fallen Marine, Steve Sutton.

The decals could be seen all over town Friday as word spread through Facebook and Twitter. The stickers were made by employee, Matt Tharp who says, it was just the right thing to do.

"Personally I experienced a lot of marines pass away that I've been close to, something like this hits close to home. I just wanted to do something nice for the family because I completely understand what they're going through, I just wanted to do something nice for them." Said Tharp.

The decals will be available for the next several weeks to continue honoring this fallen hero.
