    I have worked with Mr. Rami and the Makhzoumi family for the past 10 months and I can honestly say I have never seen such amazing people in my life. Mr. Rami was one of the kindest, sweetest and most humble people I’ve ever met. I will never forget his special laughter, his sweet smile and his warmth and I’m glad that what I remember the most is his laughter.

    He made it his personal goal to help everyone he encountered. It is just amazing to leave the world with more than hundreds of thousands of people praying for you’ and he sure deserves all those prayers and all those tears.

    He was an amazing man… May his soul rest in peace…

    Sana Muhammad GEI-Finance Dubai… Hearty condolence for the Makhzoumi Family.

    There is nothing more real than what cannot be seen…
    There is nothing more certain than what cannot be heard…

    Death is the hidden reality of our lives…
    & certainly life is a testimony for all of us…
    We can’t escape death and neither can we hide…
    All we can do is to raise our hands and “PRAY”
    Pray as we will want others to pray for us when our time comes.

    Mr. Rami has completed his testimony in high ranking…
    For what I encountered of him… is just a slight glance and what I heard and experienced is reflected in the condolences & the prayers above…
    A BELIEVER, he was kind, humble, charitable and much more…

    Quran says:
    “He who spends his wealth for increase in self-purification,”
    “And have in his mind no favour from anyone for which a reward is expected in return,”
    “Except only the desire to seek the Countenance of his Lord, the Most High;”
    “He surely will be pleased (when he will enter Paradise).”

    Personally I feel and I pray to Allah Subhana Wa Tallah that despite of our belief that Mr. Rami will be in heaven… Ya Allah have mercy on him… Ya Allah bless him from his good deeds, Ya Allah bless him from his parents prayers; Ya Allah bless him from our prayers and mostly Ya Allah reward him from all the pilgrimage “Hajj” that were done from his / family’s wealth, Ya Allah bless him from all the charity (Sadqah) done by him. Ameen

    “Inna lil-Lahi wa inna ilayhi rajioon – truly, we belong to Allah, and truly unto him is the return!”

    FOR THE FAMILY
    Although no words can really help to ease the loss you bear,Just know that you are very close in every thought and prayer.

    Hello, I am currently working in FPI, Dubai.

    It was unbelievable for me… I still feel someone will come and say this news was wrong, it was a rumor……

    Mr. Rami was a great leader and very kind person. Every time he passes from the corridor he used to greet every one with a very nice smile on his face.

    My Father worked in FPI/GEI for 35 years, he tells me about him because he knows Mr. Rami from his childhood. My father was working in GEI/FPI when Mr. Rami born.

    When my father left from FPI/GEI, Mr Rami said to my father FPI is your home and you are our family member. These words make me proud to be a family member of such a great leader.

    His loss can not be recovered, MAY ALLAH BLESS HIS SOUL AND REST IN PEACE. He is always in prayers of me and my family.

    Hearty condolence from me and family to whole of his family.

    I am Rami’s hairdresser 4 all his life. See him 2 times a week.

    Every time I saw him I have a deep feeling from my heart that this time is not 4 this man. Very kind. Very polite. Like every one, big believer with God. Always thanks him. And what I think, God take his soul to be near him. He left deep pain in my heart every time I remember him. He will always live with us. White hand white heart.

    I met Rami at the Emerging Leaders Programme at London Business School. I was the Programme Manager for London Business School and was blessed to meet many future leaders. Rami stood out for a number of reasons. He was values driven and had a presence that you can’t explain, but know when you meet a world leader. He was also one of the few people I met on the programme who was in a family business. He had an inquisitive mind and really wanted to learn and stretch himself. For this reason he was a wealth of knowledge who had an opinion, but you never felt like your opinion wasn’t important in the conversation. He also was the most generous person I met throughout my time working on the programme. I remember a lovely meal he hosted for the entire course at the Dorchester Hotel in Park Lane. Rami is unforgettable and we have lost a true leader who has touched the lives of many people.

    The wave of shock that struck me on hearing about a bright young man leaving us at such an early age was beyond description. As much as the great leader and business man that he was, he was a wonderful human being. The imprints that he left on many with the shade of compassion and kindness that he gave is deep. In the brief period he has been with us, his achievements were immense and his success inspirational. Being the son of a great man, Mr. Fouad Makhzoumi and living by his teachings Mr. Rami Makhzoumi had grown into a man with much depth to his thoughts and actions. My heart goes out to his grieving 3 beautiful children, his loving wife and his wonderful parents.

    The 23 years that I have spent with the FPI Group I had grown very close to Mr. Rami personally and developed much affection and respect for the great man. The brilliance of his thought and the intensity in his views has always left remarkable impression on me. Though it would take a long time for all of us to uplift ourselves from the grief of loss that we have fallen into; I pray for the strength to lead by his example and fulfillment of all his expectations from us.God has taken him to be in a better place and he is watching over us.

    He will live in us through the memories that he left and give us the strength to strive for the best through his vision for the FPI Group and all his employees.

    On several occasions I have tried to find the right words to share on this wall and struggled. I’ve started to type and deleted so many times. I’m beyond heartbroken by this news. The feeling of sadness comes in waves like an aggressive ocean, that draws near and clears away again.

    Rami was a force of nature. It’s as simple as that.

    Leader of the pack, from the youngest of age, not only in his business. He was not text book what so ever, and that’s why people loved him so much, he was real. My childhood sweetheart, who I will and could never forget. He was one of the first people to contact me when my father died, and his words of kindness will always remain with me.

    I’m so happy that he found love, and has 3 lovely girls, as a family is all he ever really wanted and I can only hope that they will grow up hearing how incredibly kind and funny their father was, and know the positive effect he had on people. He was a magnet like that, people loved to be around him.

    The only solace I can get from all of this is that he is in the same place as my father. There is something comforting in that, that they are not alone. They are with others that we have loved and lost.

    To Umoo Fouad, May, Camelia & Tamara, I’m so sorry. Please know that my heart reaches out to you all. Maybe in time when your wounds have healed a little, and you’re in London I can come and visit you to pay my condolences.

    Serena.

    I met Rami for around 15 mins but I believe that he was a great man. He was in pain but so calm, I will never forget his smile that was mixed with so many questions about his condition as if he was aware about what will happen…

    Rest in peace Rami.

    I am numb with the shock that comes when such a young brilliant man leaves us before his time. Rami’s time was all too brief, but he had a privileged life filled with great achievements and success, complemented with 3 beautiful girls, a wife he loved so much, and amazing parents.

    I have been fortunate to be Rami’s personal assistant for the past three years. Rami taught me new ways to dream; he was a great listener because he believed that great leaders should always listen to their people.

    I will never forget you Rami, you are in my walking thoughts, my sweetest memories, and my dearest dreams. I will carry you with me forever.

    May God rest your soul in peace.
