Solomon Demissie Obituary
Solomon went to elementary school partly in Assela and then in Addis Ababa. Solomon completed his high school at Prince Mekonnen (now Addis Katama) Comprehensive High school where he was very popular as a boy scout. After graduating from high school, Solomon attended Haile Selassie I (now Addis Ababa) University for 1 year, before he came to Windsor, Ontario, Canada in August 1974 to complete his university studies. He joined St. Clair College of Applied Arts and Technology in September 1974 and graduated from the Mechanical Engineering Program with an M.Sc in Mechanical Engineering in May 1978. It was in Windsor that he met his first wife, Mozelle Harrison, and had his first and only child, Addisu, who was born on June 1, 1980.
In 1982, Solomon moved to Toronto, Ontario, Canada, where his career and family would flourish for 9 years. He moved to Atlanta, Georgia, USA in July of 1991, where he would live and work for the rest of his life. For 23 years, Solomon was a proud employee of Snapper Inc. (since acquired by Briggs & Stratton Corporation) in their manufacturing and fabrication groups. He married his wife Salome Yoseph on September 3, 1999, with whom he had a joyous, adventure-filled marriage until his time of passing.
As a proud Ethiopian immigrant, Solomon worked hard as one of the founders of the Ethiopian Community Association of Atlanta and was instrumental in making the association legal and acquiring its 501c3 tax exempt Status. Solomon was an avid sports fan and was a popular contributor to the Ethio-Atlanta Sports club. He was instrumental in bringing the 1998 ESFNA's Soccer Tournament to Atlanta for which he worked in the capacity of chairman of the host committee. Solomon was a member of Sahilite Mihret Kidist Mariam Ethiopian Orthodox Church of Atlanta for which he contributed a lot to the construction of the new building.
Solomon is survived by his wife Salome, son Addisu, sister Demkech, brother Dawit, nephews Michael Tolosa and Luel Waktola, nieces Mahliet Demissie, Hana Demissie, Meaza Alemu, Terusew Haile, Azeb Haile, and Tizita Haile, and cousins Debebe Amde, Merid Amde, Ephrem Amde, Mulumebet Amde, and Alem Teffera. Along with his parents, he joins his sister Salome Demissie and nephew Aklilu Haile in the afterlife. He leaves behind numerous loving relatives and close friends who were with him through so many good times as well as the more difficult recent ones. The entire family would like to express its profound appreciation and love to all who enriched Solomon's full life, and provided support and comfort in his final weeks.
Solomon was loved and respected by all who knew him. During his too brief visit on earth, he was a good father, husband, colleague and friend. He is already missed, but his memory and legacy will live on in all those whose lives he touched.

I always cherish the good times I had with Solomon as boy scouts when we were young, as friends ever since - the last 40 years. I have already started missing his advice, friendly gestures and smiles.
REST IN PEACE MY BROTHER!
