He left Maine shortly after graduation to enter the US MCRD in Parris Island, SC, Platoon 2078 and Advanced Infantry School, Maine and Camp Lejeune, NC until December 2013. He has remained with Alpha Company Battalion 25th Marines, as a 0311 rifleman. Sage belonged to Mystic Lodge #65, Hampden, as a Master Mason. Sage was full of life and loved his family, friends and Brothers in Arms.
