CRYSTAL LAKE, IL (WKOW) -- The body of a UW-Whitewater graduate who was killed in the Colorado shooting was returned home Thursday.

Members of the Illinois Patriot Guard escorted the body of John Larimer from Chicago to his hometown of Crystal Lake, Illinois.

The riders and other members of the procession said they wanted to show Larimer's family they are not alone in their grief.

The 27-year-old Larimer was a cryptologist for the Navy and was stationed at Buckley Air Force base in Aurora, Colorado.

He'll be laid to rest on Saturday.
