Eykelenboom is the first Canadian military medic killed in action since the Korean War, and the 26th Canadian soldier to die in Afghanistan since deploying to the war-torn country in 2002.
His family has announced the creation of a foundation called Boomer's Legacy. It will honour fallen Canadian soldiers and educate Canadians about the need for humanitarian aid in Afghanistan. Funds raised by the foundation will provide educational material for Afghan children
