Fady Elias Chamoun

Canfield – It’s with a heavy heart and great sadness to announce that Fady Elias Chamoun, 47, of Canfield, transitioned to his heavenly home on Tuesday afternoon, June 27, 2023 surrounded by his loving family. 

Fady had a presence throughout his life that attracted people to him. Powerful and undeniable as an athlete, as a man, his open heart and ability to connect with the people in his life made him special. Fady had a natural way of including everyone, making them feel welcome, and ensuring all had a good time. He effortlessly thought of others without regard to himself, and despite his often-furrowed brow, he lit up rooms with his smirk, his smile, and especially his laugh.

Anyone that played football against Fady feared him, and consequently, his teammates loved him endlessly. He fed off that love and support and never forgot anyone that respected him or earned his respect. He also never forgot anyone that disrespected him or those he loved. As a competitor, in every aspect of his life, Fady never accepted second place. He pushed the limits of himself and those around him to succeed.

Fady will always be a family man. There was nothing that meant more to him than family. Be it by blood or other means, when Fady welcomed you into his family, you would understand unconditional love. His playful mocking was how he kept you honest and made sure you knew you were loved. He would fight through any obstacle to make sure his loved ones were safe, happy, cared for, and a part of him. This will be his most lasting impact; the way he loved.

Fady is one of a kind. He will forever be a part of everyone who has ever had the pleasure of knowing him. His love for his family and friends is imprinted on them. His memory will be carried forward by the strength of his wife, sons, mother, siblings, extended family, and the countless friends that he knew and loved.

Remember his smirk, smile, and that laugh, and when you see or hear it sometime, somewhere, know it’s him saying hello and blowing you a kiss.

Fady is survived by his loving and devoted wife Rama; his children, Camille and Anthony; his mother, Lucie; his siblings Sandra, Laurie, and Joey. Along with his Holy Father, his father Camille welcomed him to heaven with open arms.

His family and friends provided the love and support he needed to fight, he will be eternally grateful for those thoughts and prayers.
