    Conoci a RAMI MAKHZOUMI en Houston, y pense que el tenia demasiada responsabilidad para ser tan joven y tambien que dado su estatus en la empresa seria una persona dificilmente accesible, y afortunadamente me equivoque, fue una persona muy sencilla, abierta, con una madurez impresionante y muy responsable en sus compromisos gerenciales, Me dejo una muy buena impresion y fue un estimulo y una inspiracion para mi.

    I met Rami in Houston and I thought that he had too much responsibility being so young and also given this status in the company the person would be hardly inaccessible, and fortunately I was wrong, he was a very simple, open, with an impressive and very responsible maturity in his managerial commitments, he left a good impression and was a stimulus and an inspiration to me.

    It was only a good 10 minutes I had with Rami in April 2011 when he received the Masterclass CEO of the Year award. Sadly he left us but his legacy lives on…I will dedicate the 2012 Awards ceremony in his honor for youngaspiring leaders..may your soul rest in peace Rami..

    I am shocked and saddened to learn of Rami’s untimely passing. My deepest sympathies go out to his wonderful family and to those fortunate enough to have called him their friend.

    I have known Rami since a very young age, and can remember very well the good times spent with him and our families in Canada, Lebanon, Dubai and the UK… Last time we played Pool in the family country house, he beat me…
    Then there was a time gap where we did not see each other much… until we met again, more recently, and this was when I really felt we could strengthen our friendship and enjoy our time together on a much more frequent basis… It’s been a few months since we last enjoyed dinner and dancing, and it feels like yesterday… the image of Rami that I have in my mind is that of a happy, smiley, sharp, genuine friend who was enjoying life to the max, every minute of it! I have to say he was in the happiest state I had ever seen him in, caring for his lovely young family while handling demanding business, simultaneously.
    I just wish we had more time to spend together, so much more time… Such a great loss, and such a shame. You will be deeply missed, and always in my thoughts and mind. Rest in peace my friend.

    Rami, I have been blessed to know you well and witness your successes and achievements over the years, both as a friend of the family and a colleague. Throughout your childhood, our families remained close as we saw you grow to become a mature man ready to follow his dad’s footsteps.

    When you joined the Future Pipes Group, you immediately turned out to be a gifted entrepreneur with a strong vision and the power to motivate employees at every level.
    Your kindness, determination and vision for the group inevitably inspired us all and encouraged us to reach beyond our targets. Undoubtedly, you have become a role model for a generation of young aspiring leaders.

    Your life was inexplicably short… Yet, you managed have a very successful entrepreneur, but most importantly an adored son, a caring brother and a loving father. You also leave behind an immense emptiness shared by everyone who had the chance to know you: family, friends and colleagues.
    We will always cherish your memories in our hearts.

    Rest in Peace,
    Antoine Habib

    Our remembrance of Mr. Rami:

    My husband and I were “honored and privileged” to have worked for Mr. Rami Makhzoumi and his family for 3 years as personal Estate Managers. There are no words powerful or moving enough to describe how significant and inspirational his presence was in our lives. He made us aspire to be “better”. Whether you knew him for two minutes or 20 years, you knew he would be a good friend forever.

    Being the ultimate perfectionist, he would go the extra mile in everything he did to ensure excellence. He was a great communicator, an amazing problem solver, and recognized as a genius at his young age of 33 years. Nothing was ever too big or too small for his immediate attention. We could go to him for anything, business or personal, and he always found time for us. He was very kind and compassionate to everybody; it was apparent it gave him great pleasure to help people, especially those around him. God was truly always in his heart.

    Mr. Rami cut a distinguished and dashing image with a style of his own; an impressive memorable style always with his signature piece, a well-chosen hat! There was nothing he could not do! Not only a genius in business, he was a great singer, dancer, and the most amazing writer; extremely creative with a futuristic mind; a true visionary!!

    The last 6 months of his life were the happiest we had ever seen him. He was newly wed and spent a lot of time with Mrs. Chiara and his 3 beautiful and amazing daughters May, Yasmeena, and Nour. In spite of his business demands, Mr. Rami was an unbelievably amazing husband and father; very generous, attentive, loving, caring, always within reach and available for his wife and children. He was conscious of every aspect of their needs, education and desires. He had and shared everything; love, happiness, hope, dreams, all of it . . . it is so hard to express how immense, how grand he was or to convey how he inspired us everyday; how he affected and inspired everybody who knew him.

    We were extremely fortunate and grateful to have known him. It is not everyday you meet a persona extraordinaire….an angel! We will never forget him . . . we loved you Mr. Rami, so very much. You are very sadly missed. You will always be in our thoughts and in our hearts forever!

    Rami,
    I know it is wrong but I pretend this is not true. I am still denying what has happened in my mind and in my heart. I have wanted to write something but have not been able to. It makes things too final which I am not ready for.

    I often think of you in the most random things that only you would understand. I laugh within when thinking of a memory, a song or a moment in our lives and it makes me smile and even cracks me up. I live in my memories of you and of our child hood. We grew up together; you showed me so many things in my life. You showed me how to love and how to give love. We were each other’s first loves and I am so happy to have had part of you in defining who I am today. You taught me the importance of being a true person in life and being driven to do good. You taught me the importance of legacy and faith. You showed me what an amazing quality it is to be able to show your true feelings laid bare and vulnerable. A quality you possessed at such a young age. The things you would say, the way you would write was that of a person so much older than the young boy you were. I think of our over the top gestures, the poems, the fights, the secret language, the 50 songs that we thought were written for us. I smile at it all! I cherish it all! It was perfect. It was so innocent, deep and simply beautiful. Thank you!

    When I think of you I imagine you playing with the girls, designing yet another magical home, giving a motivational speech at a company, laughing your head off, or on a boat somewhere wearing something that only you and Prince could get away with I knew your life would be filled with love and happiness. If I close my eyes I can see your smile and see the twinkle in your perfect eyes.

    I have my thoughts, I have my memories and I will cherish them forever. You are forever within my soul and you have part of my heart.
    There is so much more to say but that is as much as I can do. I know you understand.

    381.

    I still smile every time I see your smile. I respect your ideas when you look at me with these sharp eyes. I feel your presence with this strong personality, that is why I will kiss you every time I am cleaning your picture on my wall, because this is the door of seeing you every time I miss you.
    GOD bless your soul
