Pittman was one of 30 U.S. servicemen killed Aug. 6 in Wardak Province, Afghanistan, when their Chinook helicopter was shot down by insurgents.
Pittman was a 2002 Willits High School graduate. He worked as a seasonal firefighter for Cal Fire in 2003 and 2004 before he joined the Navy in March 2005 to pursue his goal of becoming a Navy SEAL.
Pittman attained his goal and in April 2007 reported to the West Coast-based SEAL team.
He will be sorely missed by his family, friends and fellow Navy SEALs. He loved his country and died a hero.

He leaves behind his sister Anita Bays and a son, Isaiah Mckenzie-Bays.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Ann and Don Bays of San Jose.
Jeff shared his time between Clearlake and San Jose. He worked as a tree-trimmer for 20 years.
Jeff belonged to a "hot rod" family, and was in the process of restoring his Ranchero.
He was an accomplished fabricator and was known for the great work he did on cars.
Every Sunday he enjoyed watching NASCAR. Jeff also enjoyed heavy metal music, and you could always hear him as he drove down the street.
Jeff was everyone's friend and never was unkind. Although his looks were intimidating, he was a "big brother" to many and had a great big heart.
A memorial service will be held for Jeff at the American Legion Hall, Jeff's favorite place to spend time in Clearlake. Services will be on September 24 at 2 p.m. with a potluck to follow at the hall.
