The scientific community suffered a heavy loss with the passing of Yeshitila Gebremichael, a brilliant modeling scientist. But more than that, he touched the lives of many with his kindness, strength, and amazing ability to make everyone feel like a million bucks. You were always the center of attention to Yeshi.

He fought a hard battle against cancer with dignity and strength. His strong faith and the support of his family and friends kept him going until he could not go any more. It will be great if we can help his wife Elizabeth and three daughters in these trying times so that they do not have to worry while suffering an untimely and tragic loss. I hope we can rally and show them how much Yeshi meant to us. Let's pour our support for his family. May his path be illuminated!
