There are bittersweet emotions this week for the family of a North Attleboro Marine who was killed in Afghanistan last month.

The wife of Marine Capt. Kyle Van DeGiesen has given birth to the couple's second child, according to the Sun Chronicle.

Meghan Van DeGiesen gave birth to a healthy baby boy named Colin Joseph Tuesday afternoon.

He weighs six pounds, eight ounces.

Colin was born just days after his father was buried, and coincidentally, on the Marine Corps 234th birthday.

Kyle Van DeGiesen was killed Oct. 26 in a helicopter crash in Afghanistan.

He was 29 years old.

A fund has been set up for the family.

Anyone wishing to make donations can send them to:

Captain Kyle Van DeGiesen Memorial Fund
Bristol County Savings Bank
96 Commonwealth Ave.
North Attleboro, MA 02763
