Jason Sabbag Obituary
Was it Jason Sabbag who noticed the "total mayhem" at the Elephant bistro, the "gentle prices" at Miracle Grill, the fact that "women feel comfortable" at the Post House steak restaurant?
Mr. Sabbag, 26, and his friends made it their goal to get their anonymous comments published in the Zagat survey of restaurants. Once, on a night when they were going to celebrate Mr. Sabbag's having cleared part of the exam to become a chartered financial analyst, they spent so long riffling through the Zagat guide that it was too late to make a reservation.
"Anyone could go to Le Cirque," said Mark Hagan, Mr. Sabbag's brother-in-law. "He was always trying to find a restaurant that had a rating over 24 and a cost under $40. That was his mission."
Mr. Sabbag, an assistant portfolio manager at Fiduciary Trust, loved to dine with Mr. Hagan, his sister, his longtime girlfriend and his younger brother, Cliff. On weekends at his parents' home in Greenwich, Conn., Mr. Sabbag made the mojitos and made sure everyone had fun.
He knew how to tease without going too far. A high school tennis champion, he would easily beat his father. Until one morning, when his father won the first two games, to the cheers of onlookers. Mr. Sabbag picked up the ball and went to the net. "Dad, it's your serve, and I just wanted to let you know — happy Father's Day."

Dearest Jason,
I met you only a few times through your fiance. You were a shining and bright light and you were so much fun to be around! You will always have a special place in my heart. I have a son now and if he grows up and turns out to be anything like you I will be proud. My heart broke the day I heard you were gone, but your memory lives on in so many hearts. Peace be with you and I hope I will see you on the other side. I live near Ground Zero and walk by it daily and have thought of you frequently and will continue to do so. My deepest condolences to you, your family, and your beautiful fiance Sarah. The 9/11 museum has opened and I will visit there and think of you. I cry as I write this.
Rest in peace.

Jason, I went to Glenville and Western with you before I moved away and lost touch. I still remember playing basketball with you in your driveway all those years ago, and will never forget your competitive spirit and friendship. Even when we were young, you pushed me to be better....which I'm sure you did for all that knew you. I hope our paths will cross again old friend. God bless you Jason, E.

to the parents and siblings of Jason Sabbag we understand your loss the coworkers that worked in Fiduciary Trust I was younger 24 at the time I did not know Jason directly but many people did. His death stands out to me for I was 24 and had a job at this firm I love the building and all of us that age where on our way up. This has taken a mental toll on us survivors. Being the same age its still a void us now in our thirties to still understand. I hope your parents and family and friends find some way to ease this pain its not easy ...peace , love and healing to what we can heal from..I will make sure to keep his memory alive my sister is the exact same age may god bless you

This is for a little cousin we never knew. When we heard this horrific news, I made contact with your aunt Helene and have been in contact since. Through her I have passed all our sympathy to your family. Life has separated all of us but every year I think of you and your loved ones. I have only found this guest book online and I wanted to write a little something. You were such a handsome young man who will never be forgotten. May you rest in peace in paradise.
With much love to you Jason and your dear ones.

I had a chance to visit Jason's Memorial Bench at Greenwich Point on Monday of this week and spent some quiet time reflecting on 9/11 and how his world had changed since he left this world.
I am deeply touched by all of the love and affection from Jason's friends and family shown in his web site. He would surely be happy knowing that he had made such an impact on the world for his young age of 26.
My heartfelt sympathy and respect for his family. I never knew him but feel that I do today. I will visit the bench again to remember his wonderful life where there was so much caring and love.

Jason,
You were my first friend. From climbing trees in the front yard to chasing Musky, I remember almost every minute. On this day, and every time I walk by your bench at Todd's, and when I see those two beams of light emanating from Lower Manhattan, I think of you and I smile. And I'm sad. I miss you my friend.

I came across an old picture of you and I recently from our Georgetown days. It brought back a flood of memories of the good times we had back then. After all this time, I can still hear your voice if I listen hard enough.

It's been 7 yrs today and I still get chills when I think of you. Jasey, I met my husband on Sept. 11, 2004. I almost didn't go because of the date...
On my wedding day I made a prayer for you next to scriptures made in your honour.
You would've liked my husband...his sense of humor and his love for football. He loves the little anecdotes that I tell him about you; especially how I was the butt of jokes for not knowing much English back then.
I hope you are in a better place and wish you well.

It has now been 6 years since we lost our dear Jason...It could not be more poignant that this day come only days after my brother, a very close friend of Jason's, was married. "The Posse" , as we called them, all came to support my brother on his joyous day, save Jason, who was dearly missed. A slideshow at rehearsal dinner showed pictures of all of them together on one of their many trips together around the world. We miss Jason dearly. It was a beautiful thing to see his brother Cliff join us for the celebration, and of course very sad as well. I still reflect on Jason, and how it hurts so many of us including my brother to not have him with us. But I know he was watching this weekend, from perhaps a slightly more comfortable seat above. We love and miss you Jason.

Anyone who was ever in a class with Jason, or, I imagine, spent 5 minutes speaking with him, could not have missed how smart, and driven, and also how kind he was.
Everyone will have a different experience or friendship or connection to remember him by. Lucky us to have those memories.

Dear Jason,
I hardly knew you (even though you lived in my building) but now I will always know you.
Every time I think of 9/11 I think of you and your young soul. And I am humbled. And I am grateful....to be alive with my little girl.
I cried and shook when I first heard your name back then...I cried again for you, ALL day, on the first anniversary of this horror for us all, this tragedy.
I will never forget how happy you were, Jason, when we signed leases for you and your fiancee's new apartment. I will NEVER forget the pain and tears on her face when I had to show the apartment once more, because she could no longer live there without you.
I think you are the only person I knew that was lost on that day...but you were the one too many! I wish you eternal peace and I pray that all who loved you will find strength and peace as well. You will always be a reminder to me of just how precious life is!
Rest in peace with Hashem -
In sympathy,
Your broker, Lorett Vigon

I wrote a poem about Jason Sabbag, whom I never knew, after seeing postings about him online shortly after the attacks. To me, the actions of the person seeking information about him seemed to capture perfectly a slice of the enormous grief all Americans were feeling at that time.

America Cries
We see your sorrow-
and our hearts cry....
We can not erase your pain
but you do not have to face the anguish alone-for we-
-the American people-
are beside you.
We so desperately want to have the touch that brings you comfort,
the strength that gives you courage,
and the words to lighten your spirits.
And when we are left speechless
may the silence of our nation weave love into your hearts
to ease your sorrow.
May you find healing through our nation's strength as we-
-the American people-
face this difficult time together. Our hearts are with you. Teresa Jahn
