In Memory of Ian Lahhoud

Ian Lahhoud sadly passed away on September 16th in a tragic accident in Vermont. Ian was one of the kindest souls to grace this planet, always prioritizing others and putting a smile on everyone’s face. He will be greatly missed by his family and all of his loved ones.

Ian was an incredibly passionate person, he was a hardworking young man who always put his friends and family before himself. Ian attended the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth where he joined Phi Kappa Theta fraternity and held many positions in an effort to create an environment where other young men like himself could thrive just as he did. Ian left his mark not only on the organization itself, but on all the young men who joined after him. He was a role model to many younger brothers, teaching them to live life to the fullest and enjoy life for what it is.

Few people so genuine and happy have ever lived, and his ability of being able to bring smiles to the faces of everyone in a room will never be found in anyone else. He will be greatly missed by all and his presence will never be forgotten.

In the words of the late William Shakespeare, “He was a man, take him for all in all,

I shall not look upon his like again.”

Ian has family members who live in Lebanon, and would go at least once a year for a few weeks. Not only did he love the culture, cuisine, and landscape, but the people most of all. Unfortunately, Lebanon has been plunged into poverty over the past few years. Young children are facing great difficulties. Ian’s family gracefully suggested that instead of donating towards the funeral, that we raise money for a worthy cause. We believe Save the Children represents Ian’s commitment to family and community.

100% of the donations raised will be donated in Ian’s name to the Save The Children: Lebanon Crisis Relief Fund (https://www.savethechildren.org/us/where-we-work/lebanon)

Please consider donating.
