Zuheir Awad

April 10, 1949 — March 10, 2025

Zuheir Awad, a loving husband, father, grandfather, and an honest, caring man, left this world on March 10, 2025, at the age of 75. Born on April 10, 1949, Zuheir emigrated from Nazareth, Palestine to America at the tender age of 17, initially working as a mechanic. His hands were skilled, not only in fixing cars but in building relationships, instilling strong family values in his children that will resonate for generations.

Throughout his life, Zuheir embodied the essence of dedication and resilience. He was known for his unwavering integrity and the depth of care he showed to everyone he encountered. Those fortunate enough to know him will remember his warm smile and the gentle wisdom he shared with those around him.

Zuheir leaves behind his beloved wife, Theresa Awad, whose companionship and love formed the cornerstone of his life. He is survived by his children Hani, Jaclin, and William Awad, and grandchildren Anton and Isaiah, who carry forward his legacy of kindness and strength. His family will carry the memories of their time together, forever grateful for the lessons of love and respect he imparted.

A funeral service to honor Zuheir's life will take place on March 24, 2025 at 9am, at Forest Lawn - Cypress - Patriots Chapel in Cypress, California. Mercy meal will follow at Holy Cross Melkite Catholic Church in Placentia. This occasion will be a time for family and friends to come together, to share stories, and to celebrate a life filled with honest love, tireless dedication, and cherished moments.

While we mourn his passing, we also celebrate the remarkable life he led—a life dedicated to family and an unwavering commitment to sharing goodness with the world around him.
