"I have heard from representatives from the YPG in Syria (the Kurdish forces also known as People's Protection Units) and in London, and it seems that John Robert was killed by a suicide bomber earlier today. I don't have many details at this time," the post says.
"He thought this was such an important fight, and he has always been a man of principle who believed very strongly in human rights and justice. I am very, very proud of him, and his sisters and I love him very much."
Gallagher previously served with the 2nd Battalion of the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry, according to a profile published in Maclean's magazine last summer in which he spoke about his decision to fight in Syria.

John Robert Gallagher, you're a f-in hero. Fighting the battles that most gov'ts are too meek to enter. RIP
edit: see this was just mentioned in ISIS thread, I think this local guy deserves a thread of his own.
