Obituary for Storm Allie Matinet
With heavy hearts and extreme sadness, the family of Storm Matinet announce her passing on January 22, 2022, after a brief illness.
Storm was born on March 16, 1993. From that day forward Storm would touch the lives of countless people throughout her life. She made friends wherever she went, and was respected for her honesty, humor and loyalty to her friends and family. As a child, Storm excelled in school and as she grew up her talent for applying make-up highlighted her creativity and ability to see the beauty in everyone and everything around her.
Storm is survived by her son, Raiden Hardy (father Shane), who was her pride and joy, and her mom and best friend, Jackie Matinet (Deppy). She is also survived by her father, Robert Meawasige, brother Luke Zoccole and sister April Belmore; Aunties Natalie Matinet (Joey) and Ursula Matinet, Uncles Willie Kwandibens (Kelly), Gordon Matinet and Chris Matinet (Nicole); Kalinda Hardy (Raiden’s Grandmother); numerous aunts, uncles and cousins from the Matinet, Kwandibens and Meawasige families. She leaves behind her partner Donny, her friends and chosen family.
She was predeceased by her Grandmother Theresa Kwandibens, Grandfather William (Boxcar) Matinet, cousins Darren George and Crystal Towegishig and many other family members and friends.
