Demeke was a great man who will be dearly missed. He was a very kind and generous person. When we visited Ethiopia, he made sure to make our trip as memorable as possible by showing us the best of his country. He was always happy and very thoughtful. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of his loved ones.
Do not stand at my grave and weep. I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow; I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain; I am the gentle Autumn's rain. Gone yet not forgotten,Although we are apart,Your spirit lives within me,Forever in my heart. Love and Miss you-

Abiye - You are my HERO.
I came home today waiting to be kissed and greet by you; I can't think you left us eternally. I missed you already. I LOVE YOU!!!
It is very hard to miss someone like Demekye, Demeke is the best Uncle i ever have ,still i could not believe he is gone for real.
To the Demeke's family: Just wanted to say that I am so sorry about your loss!!!! There are no words that would comfort the heart when you lose someone so dear to your heart. But I also know that it feels some what good when people stop for a minute to say sorry, show love, respect and care you are hurting. Your father was a wonderful man!!! He was such an amazingly loving father. Chachuye I still remember to this day when he used to come to Bethlehem School to pick you up. He used to carry you on his shoulders or would always carry you in his arms all the way to the car lol. And I still have his beautiful smile in my mind when we came to Ethiopia for Zele's wedding. He was such "tihut abat". Oh yes definitely will be missed! The memories will live forever in our hearts. May God bless all of you & your family! Hiwot Bekele
We all are deeply saddened by your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. May GOD give you strength during this difficult time. Ayzowachu.
To all the family members of Demeke Abate: I read of the passing of Mr. Abate this morning and I wanted you to know that I will be praying for the family on this day. I was privileged to care for your family member at LHSC palliative care unit. I am sure it was a great comfort to Mr. Abate to have such a devoted and loving family at his bedside at his time of need. He will live in your hearts and memories from this day forward. I am sorry for your loss of such an obviously loved and loving man. Sincerely, Melanie Camara BHSc, BScN, RN, MN-NP Candidate London Health Sciences Centre Nursing Reserve Unit
