John Gallagher: Here’s what we know about the Canadian killed while fighting ISIS in Syria

The mother of former Canadian soldier John Robert Gallagher confirmed on Facebook her 32-year-old son was killed in an ISIS suicide bomb attack in Syria.

“[John] 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,” his mother, Valerie Carder of Wheatley, Ont., wrote.

Speaking to Global News, Gallagher’s mother said he was “passionate about doing what he thought was right.

“There’s so many things that people don’t know and I really appreciate that people are proud of him and are admiring that he had the courage to not just talk a good talk but actually act on his principles because he really, really tried to do the right thing,” she said.

Gallagher, who once served in Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry, left Canada at the end of April to fight alongside Kurdish Peshmerga fighters in Iraq. He then travelled over the border into Syria in July, to take up arms with the Kurdish militia known as the YPG.

His mother encouraged his friends and followers to read a lengthy note posted on his Facebook page in May, in which Gallagher explained he was “prepared to give my life in the cause of averting the disaster we are stumbling towards as a civilization.”

“Only by destroying ISIS without mercy can we discredit the idea, and force the would-be jihadis and fellow-travelers to give up their insane dreams of a new Mecca and join the modern world
