Hanna Khoury Obituary

Hanna (Jean) Khoury, MD, age 50, of Atlanta, GA and born in Beirut, Lebanon passed away peacefully on May 22, 2017 in his residence surrounded by his family. His marriage with Angela Abboud Khoury blessed them with three children, Mikhail, Iman and Alya. Hanna led the Division of Hematology of the Winship Cancer Institute at Emory University in Atlanta, GA. Known by all as a compassionate physician, an avid clinical investigator, and a mentor, Hanna received many awards and published more than 140 peer-reviewed manuscripts in prominent medical journals. Hanna was an unfailingly kind and devoted friend. He would always sing the music of George Brassens, regularly commute by bicycle to work and participate in races such as the Charles Harris 10k and Winship 5k. Hanna also proudly earned his 4th degree black belt in Taekwondo. Like his late father, Dr. Michel Khoury, he was a person of great faith, and was close to his mother, Emma Ghorayeb Khoury, sister Mariana and two brothers Basile and Elie-Gregoire. Hanna's life serves as an enduring example of real impact and unshakable commitment to doing lasting good. Funeral services will be 10:00 a.m. Saturday, May 27, 2017 at The Greek Cathedral of the Annunciation. A private interment will immediately follow. The family will receive friends Friday, May 26, 2017 with a prayer service at 7:00 p.m. at A.S. Turner & Sons. In lieu of flowers, please send contributions marked in Memory of Dr. H. Jean Khoury, to Winship Cancer Institute, Office of Gift Records, Emory University, 1762 Clifton Rd NE, Suite 1400, Atlanta, GA 30322 or online at bit.ly/KhouryMemorialGiving .

Your humor and expertise will be missed! Thanks for giving so much of yourself to me and all your patients. Wish it didn't have to be this way, but trusting in the universe's process. Maybe you were needed elsewhere, that's how I like to think of it. Rest In Peace, dear Dr. K.
