Tributes - Rami Makhzoumi

    It is difficult to know where to start when trying to express my feelings over Rami’s tragic passing. I now know that it is true that you never quite know what somebody means to you, until you no longer have the opportunity to tell them. As a child and Rami’s neighbor, I had the privilege of calling him my best friend and sharing many moments that I still look back on with a laugh and smile. While we took different paths as we grew older, I believe a strong bond still remained thanks to all of the memories that we were lucky enough to share. He truly was a “unique” person. Unfortunately the word often gets used too easily today, but with Rami it is meant in every sense. Rami had a unique ability to fill any room, touching many many people in the process.

    The outpouring of grief and love that has been expressed since his passing is likely only the tip of the iceberg. Unfortunately I never got the opportunity to rekindle my friendship with Rami in recent years when we finally lived in the same city again. It is a deep regret of mine, but perhaps what it took to teach me an important lesson to never wait another day to tell somebody you care. I take some comfort from believing that God had bigger plans for Rami and that he is in a peaceful place continuing to touch people in the same way that he always did. I am proud, lucky, and better off as a person from being able to call Rami my friend. May he rest in peace and continue to be an inspiration to all who knew him. Rest in peace my friend.

    I have worked for the Makhzoumi’s for just over 10 years at their country house in the uk.In that time i have only had the pleasure of meeting Rami a few times,but i remember every occasion as if it was yesterday.
    With all the great things Rami achieved in his life the one thing that stood out was the man himself,always well mannered,polite and respectful to all,weather family,friend or like myself a employee.
    A true gent.
    But above all is the way he was with his girls, i look back with fond memories of them all playing football, basketball,mucking about on their bikes and generally enjoying the time they spent here together.
    The whole place came alive when they visited and like a whirlwind would create mayhem then leave. It was great.
    They are only a few memories but truly great ones.
    It is with a real sadness that i did not get the chance to know you better Rami.
    May you rest in peace.

    My heart hurts when I think of you. It is still hard for me to accept what happened. I wish I could go back in time to see you. You made me want to be a better person. You were one of a kind, one in a million. You could make me believe anything! You could capture an audience without even trying. You were Rami the Great.

    I met Rami through the brilliant eyes of an angel,
    I heard his voice through her heart beats when she was telling about his achievements
    She’s lucky to be his Mum & she will always be the luckiest grandmother to raise his 3 flowers
    She made me love being a Mom.
    I met a man full of love, energy & passion to make his parents happy, He was proud of them…It was their Anniversary!!!
    I met the person & not the boss, I met the child & not the leader, and I met a great father!
    & how can I love death & speak well about it?? I hate all those who do that & try to show u the good of it.
    We didn’t ask for hundred years of life but 34 were shorter than a day. Life is not fair!

    He who has gone, so we but cherish his memory, abides with us, more potent, nay, more present than the living man.

    Although it’s difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, May looking back in memory help comfort us tomorrow RIP.

    He kept at true good humour’s mark
    The social flow of pleasure’s tide:
    He never made a brow look dark,
    nor caused a tear but when he died.

    Amazing guy gone to soon RIP

    Although my relation with Rami, was short and superficial, but nevertheless, I cherished this man. He was a simple, understanding, good hearted man and friend. Rami definitly left his, traces in this world. And that is why all who knew Rami, will miss him and remember him.
    Finally, I had the opportunity of meeting, three wonderful roses, who will for sure impress you, for their, resemblance to their father.

    Rami, R.I.P., we all love you, your descendants. and for sure love, respect, Fouad and May, for their wonderful souvenir they brought up, and God left us.

    i met Rami only a few times but he really touched my heart at the amount of passion and emotion he had to give to all the people around him. For someone so young it was incredible how much he achieved! He made you feel everything was within your reach if you tryHe adored his family and you could immediately feel how important they were in his life. May God rest his soul in peace he will remain forever young in our hearts , our souls ,and our prayers………..
