Robert Kent Storm (aka Robert Hajime Ohashi, Jr.) was born on October 25, 1963. He passed away on March 23, 2025, at Swedish Hospital in Edmonds after a long battle with Parkinson’s and Lewy body dementia.

Robert graduated from the University of Washington with a BA in botany. He 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 was known to be giving, caring, and fun, and always had an ability to get what he set his mind to. He also struggled in many ways throughout his life but 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.

Robert is preceded in death by his partner Drew, father Robert Ohashi Sr., mother Carolyn Harris, brother Frank Wheeler, sister Sandra Campbell Culverwell, and brother-in-law John Ledford. He is survived by his stepmother Patricia Neal Ohashi; sisters Debra Wheeler Ledford, Shelly Campbell, and Robyn Ohashi (Dave Berg); stepbrothers William Campbell and Doug Campbell; and brother-in-law Jim Culverwell, as well as many nieces, nephews, and cousins.

A celebration of life will be held on May 10 at 10:00 a.m. at the Lab at Ada’s, 425 15th Ave. E. on Capitol Hill in Seattle. Friends and family from throughout Robert’s life are invited to gather and share stories. Light refreshments will be served.
