Larimer was one of 12 people killed during a massacre at the Century 16 Movie Theater. The alleged gunman, James Holmes, 24, dressed in combat gear, kicked in the back door of the theater and began shooting.

In all, 58 people were injured in the attack.

Larimer is credited with saving the life of his girlfriend, Julia Vojtsek of Algonquin, who told media that her boyfriend acted as a "human shield" when the gunshots eruptedand prevented her from being shot. 

Larimer was a 2003 graduate of Crystal Lake South High School. He enlisted in the U.S. Navy in June 2011, and was assigned to Buckley Air Force Base in Aurora, Col. in October 2011.

He became a  cryptologic technician — a job the Navy says on its website should be filled by someone with "exceptionally good character, above-average writing and speaking skills, a good memory, curiosity and resourcefulness," according to Legacy.com
