“If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.” (Romans 14:8)

It is with extremely heavy hearts but with hope in the Lord, that we announce the passing of our dearly beloved
Raymond Mikhael Malouf
in Ottawa on Tuesday  April 6, 2021 at the age of 80.
Beloved husband of Sadie Malouf (nee Aboud)
Loving father of Elias Malouf, Joanne (Stefano Vocisano) and George Malouf (Rachelle Elazar).
Cherished grandfather of Chelsea, Seanna, Elijah, Milya, Elania, Mariah, Gianna and Raymond Jr.
Dear brother of Salwa Abou-Assali (late Mikhael Sleiman), Antoine Malouf (Amal), Charbel Abou-Eid (Leila), Andre Abou-Eid (Leina) and the late Antoinette Abou-Eid (Dib), the late Yvonne Maakaroun (Hanna) and late Elias Malouf (Samira).
He will be immensely missed by all, especially by his wife, children and grandchildren.
Raymond was an honorable, humble and generous man. He gave with all his heart and asked for nothing in return. He had a love for gardening and looked forward to spending time outdoors in the summer. He lived to serve others and had a great respect for his church and community. His greatest joy was seeing his grandchildren and they will forever long for his precious smile and hugs.
