“A prominent local Navy man, a former employee, had committed suicide the day before by throwing himself under a train—a death considered honorable enough to warrant a memorial service, which was to be held at the tin works at ten o’clock that morning.” ( p. 16)
This passage confuses me because I do not understand why and what is that means the employee who committed suicide be “considered honorable enough to warrant a memorial service".

I think that he committed suicide which in Japan is consider to be very honorable because he die for his country and his honor and loyalty to the Japan, even though he committed suicide is a coward way to us because it very honorable in Japan.
