Robert Kent Storm
Robert Kent Storm (aka Robert Hajime Ohashi, Jr) was born on 10/25/1963. He passed away on 3/23/2025 at Swedish Hospital in Edmonds after a long battle with Parkinsons and Lewy Body Dementia.
Robert spent many summers in Alaska where he was a talented cook. He was also a gifted potter and loved to scavenge and search for treasures and rocks. He graduated from the U of Washington with a BA in Botany. Robert was known to be giving, caring, fun, and always had an ability to get what he set his mind to. Robert struggled in many ways throughout his life and now is at peace.
His family is thankful for the friends who supported and loved Robert (Ted, Mark, Andrew, Jeff, Ronne and Frank). Thank you also to the medical team at Harborview Medical Center, Madison Clinic, The Brain and Wellness Center, Swedish Edmonds Hospice and Golden Tulips Assisted Living Center.
