Abraham Kebede Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Snowden Funeral Home - Rockville on Mar. 2, 2022.
"Even though I walk through the valley of death I will fear no evil for you are with me and your rod and staff comfort me." Psalm 23:4
The sun rose on August 12, 1952, Atsedewoyn Wondafrash and Kebede Tessema welcomed Abraham into this world. Abraham lived a full and warm life, filled with happiness. Abraham enjoyed riding motorcycles and was a fan of sports cars. He had an expensive hobby, and most of all his soul was a free-spirit.
In his twenties, he left his birthplace of Ethiopia to come to the United States. Abraham lived in Virginia and Maryland for over forty years. He dedicated his life to service in hospitality management but, most of all his pride and joy was his only daughter Lydia. He met everyone with love and had the most amazing smile on his face. His selfless nature brought joy to those around him.
Abraham took his last breath on February 24, 2022 surrounded by his loved ones.
He is survived by his daughter, Lydia, his brother Tessema and four sisters Emetu, Fentezia, Adisszemen and Jember. Abraham will be dearly missed and always remembered.
Our hearts and our souls are heavy with his absence.
"See, I am sending an angel ahead of you to guard you along the way and to bring you to the place I have prepared." Exodus 23:20
