Ashenafi Lom Obituary

(September 09, 2007 - January 29, 2022) Ashenafi was born in Gambela, Ethiopia, and joined our family in Guam on July 27, 2013, as the youngest of six siblings.

Ash departed from this life unexpectedly and left an immeasurable impression on every soul he touched. He was happy, genuine, forgiving, full of joy and light and he generously spread all he had to those around him.

We will miss his energetic and joyful nature, his bright smile, his thoughtful and curious mind, and his kind and helpful soul. He was strong, naturally athletic, and loved to laugh and play.

We take comfort in so many happy memories, knowing that our precious Ashy is at peace and we will be together again someday.

DONATIONS:
It is difficult to cope with the sudden death of a child. His passing has shocked us into realizing the gravity of the "silent epidemic" of teen suicide on Guam and in the U.S. We are establishing a foundation in Ashenafi's name to help prevent further such tragedies on our island.

In lieu of flowers, we suggest donations to https://supporting.afsp.org/campaign/Ashenafi-Lom-Guahan-Teen-Mental-Health-Fund
