(Family photo)<\/p>\n<p>David Voight, 56, was a retired Navy bomb disposal expert who\u2019d earned a bronze star for his 2009 service alongside a SEAL team in Afghanistan. Amy Voight, 52, was a digital forensic examiner with the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, and Mya was an eighth-grade student at Pershing Middle School.<\/p>\n<p>Monday\u2019s memorial was filled with stories, several tears and a moment or two of laughter. The service honored all three family members and included a touch of teal, said to be Mya\u2019s favorite color.<\/p>\n<p>The trio had been a fun family, and they loved the ocean, Amy Voight\u2019s older sister said. She described Amy as \u201ctruly a force of nature.\u201d Some spoke of Mya as sweet and kind; one friend called her \u201cjust the brightest soul.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The family was found fatally shot Sept. 16, the morning after a neighbor heard loud bangs. San Diego police suspect David Voight killed his wife and daughter and turned the gun on himself.<\/p>\n<p>Relatives say Amy Voight had taken her husband to a Veterans Affairs site Sept. 15 in hopes he could receive mental health treatment, but he was not able to be seen. A VA spokesperson disputed the claims as inaccurate but could not comment further, citing confidentiality rules.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hundreds of mourners filled a Liberty Station chapel Monday morning for a memorial service for a family of&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":479002,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[7,138,12865,181,23,1703,100,3365,74,84,76,75,1696],"class_list":["post-479001","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-diego","tag-california","tag-crime-and-public-safety","tag-lake-murray","tag-latest-headlines","tag-local-news","tag-military","tag-news","tag-point-loma","tag-san-diego","tag-san-diego-county","tag-san-diego-headlines","tag-san-diego-news","tag-top-stories-sdut"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/479001","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=479001"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/479001\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/479002"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=479001"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=479001"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=479001"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
