Canadian Torque Developer killed in Afghanistan
by Ken Finney · 04/11/2007 (11:34 pm) · 37 comments
My friend, and fellow GG Torque dev, Master Corporal Allan Stewart, aka Dr. Evil ~ TAG, was killed in combat yesterday in Afghanistan, along with one of his buddies. They were in their Coyote AFV about 45 km west of Kandahar, racing to the rescue of another Coyote crew, when they were hit by an IED. This was his third time in Afghanistan, this time having arrived in-country only last week. Two other crew members were injured by the roadside bomb.

He was my friend, and I will miss him.

I'm really sorry to hear that Ken. Being ex-military, I know several people serving there at any given time and I think about them often. The Canadian Armed Forces is a small community and every loss hits close to home.

As a son of a military officer, i send my sympathies to all the families involved. Being a soldier brings many unique and painful responsiblilities, this is the most painful and most respected duty a soldier can have. To die in service of ones country. Stay safe.
