Tributes - Rami Makhzoumi

    Rami was an inspiration. He was a joy to be around, with natural good humour and a generous compassionate nature, which drew people to him. Everyone left meetings with Rami energized and motivated, glad to have had some time in his company. With Rami, anything was possible. My greatest regret is that there will be no more of these moments and hold very dear the time that I had with him. The light that burns brightly, burns for only a short while.

    The Middle East sadly just lost a man well on his way to being one of the great leaders of our generation. Within minutes of meeting Rami, one could easily tell he was always meant for greatness from his positive energy and natural charisma. We will all miss our brother dearly and keep him in our hearts forever!

    Over 3 months passed after Rami left us to the after life….where he is living his ideal life that he wished for at the age of 24….

    Not a day has passed with out thinking of him.. I wake up to his name, I sleep praying for him ….

    No tears will bring him back, but one can not but cry at every moment , you look at his photos , or hear his voice, or think of what he did….

    I do not know how much time it will take to heal, but the presence of his girls in our life, has helped us to greive peacefully, patientley, lovingly, strengthened with strong faith, knowing that God his ways of showing us the right way to accept fate, and do what is required.

    Life will never be the same without your smile , your laughter, your warmth, your love… I miss you more & more , but you live in our hearts , in our minds and through all those who has known you..

    As soon as I heard the news, I wished that it could be one of my worst dreams that I have ever seen!

    Though I have only worked for FPI for almost 2 and half years I cannot ever forget Mr. Rami’s vision, confidence & faith towards his team and true leadership. He always used to say in his speeches that ‘You are my FAMILY.’

    It’s really very very sad & painful news which cannot be expressed in words!

    Although I have not met Mr. Rami Makhzoumi in person but I’ve heard of his great accomplishments and was shocked to hear this sad news. My heart goes out to his family and the people who love him.May his soul rest in peace.

    I am deeply sorrowed and hugely affected by his death. Mr. Rami shared a quite a few intimate moments in his life, his passions, his love for his daughters, and most of all for the continuous search to find the love that bound his mother and father. I am glad he found true love again before his death as this was what his soul was truly searching for.

    I will always remember his kind demeanour with everyone at the clinic, his continuous belief in the power of chiropractic, his humility and his endless talk of his strong faith with god. I have treated a lot of patients over the years and they all hold a very special place in my heart’ but I can say Mr. Rami tops them all. He is someone that has inspired me to be a better person and very rarely do you encounter men with such integrity, respect and honour! I pray his soul is dancing in the winds of heaven and watching down upon us… amen!

    Hi, I am Rami Makhzoumi’s nephew. I am young but old enough to understand. I was there at his funeral, holding his coffin and praying to him. I was there through it all. I learned that even tho I may be a kid, I can do a lot for the ones I love. As I did that funeral, I noticed I can never be afraid of anything else. Death is not something to fear. I think Rami learned that. Death is nothing to life. It’s just a new world. I think Rami belongs there in a better place with God. RIP I love you Umo Rami.

    It was in 2006, I met Mr. Rami closely during the inauguration of FPI USA. I was in so much in pain due to an accident which broke my hands, but his kind words gave me a lot of relief. We are in great loss but we can only pray for his soul safe in God’s hands. My hearty condolences to the whole family. May God bless his soul.

    My father was the greatest man in my life! And the minute I heard he past away I cried like u dip’ed your face in a pool because he was the one that raised me!

    Rami was a remarkable man by all means, but above all he was a great friend. I was one of the lucky few who didn’t have any business involved with Rami. He enriched my life with his thoughts. I hope that your grave will be a glorious piece of heaven, just as your generous soul deserves, until we meet again soon inchalla ‘.

    I have known Rami since I began working with the company 20 years ago. We had an instant connection as he walked in on my interview with his father! His cheerful face broke the ice and beamed kindness through a very nervous interview! We grew up together in the Makhzoumi ‘way of life’ and we shared many stories, secrets and good times which I will always treasure. There are so many great stories I could tell, he had a certain joie de vivre which was second to none.

    I have been Mr Fouad Makhzoumi’s and Rami’s PA in the UK for many years now and looking back I wouldn’t change a thing. The whole family have been there for me in good times and in bad, that’s just the way they are.

    I could sit here for hours and write about Rami and it still wouldn’t be enough. He was an honest and decent young man through and through. He’s certainly left a legacy behind. I have sat here for days contemplating what to say as one can never find the right words. But at the end of the day it’s what you feel in your heart and I’m absolutely devastated by the hole that Rami has left in all of our lives. I still can’t make sense of what has happened and why he has been taken from us so soon.

    He used to joke that I was his big sister. Well Rami, your ‘big sister’ misses you so much and I’m just glad that you have been a part of my life. You truly are an angel looking down on us with your sweet, infectious smile.

    His 3 beautiful girls, lovely wife and great parents and sisters are all so brave and my thoughts and prayers go out to you all.

    I had not heard of Rami until this morning when you told me of his passing.

    He was clearly a wonderful human being – and the world is a lesser place because of his passing.

    My sincere condolences to his family, friends and colleagues.

    As you said, you must continue with your work. Blessings and good wishes for creating a worthy legacy for Rami.
