British Private Robert Wood, age 28, of the Royal Logistic Corps, was killed in a blaze on February 14, 2011, in Afghanistan. The cause of the fire, which took place in the workplace, is under investigation but is not thought to be the result of enemy action.
Pte Wood, known as "Woody", recently became a father to a boy, Noah, and was looking forward to returning to his family after his tour of duty. He was a driver port operator, posted to 17 Port and Maritime Regiment, and lived in Marchwood in Hampshire.
His parents and partner, Rebecca, said: "Rob was an adored and adoring son, partner, and father to his baby son. We are so immensely proud of him and he will live in our hearts forever."
Colleagues described Pte Wood as a kind hearted man and proud new father. Military officials said that "Private Wood was a strong character with a sense of humour that shone through in the toughest of times. Immensely proud of his new son, Private Wood was also proud of his service in the Corps. An integral part of the squadron and excellent at his trade, he made a positive impact at whatever he turned his hand to. He will be sorely missed."
Let us pray to God the Father, Jesus, all of the saints and all of the angels that Robert Wood is in heaven. Let us pray that he is at peace and is with God. Amen
