Sacrifice Medal (posthumous)


Corporal with the 1st Battalion, The Royal Canadian Regiment, based in Petawawa, Ontario. Aged 36. Survived by his two children Joshua and Danika; father Albert; sister Beverly; brothers George and Franklin Mic (Wendy); and many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins.

He and CWO Robert Girouard were killed when their Bison light armoured personnel carrier was attacked by a suicide bomber as they traveled near Kandahar Airfield base in Afghanistan.

Cpl Storm was born in Niagara Falls and raised in Fort Erie, ON. He served as a cadet with the 2966 Army Cadet Corps, Fort Erie, prior to enlisting with the Canadian Forces on September 6, 1990. He was a decorated soldier three years away from retirement who served in various trouble spots around the world. He was stationed previously in Bosnia twice, in Croatia and CFB Alert.

Funeral service held on Dec. 8, 2006 at the Lake Street Armoury in St. Catharines.
