Lutfi (Lou) Mukhar

Lutfi (Lou) Mukhar April 8, 1978 – August 22, 2013 Lou (whose name means kindness) was born in San Francisco and raised in Foster City, California. He was a gentle soul and will be missed tremendously by all who knew him. Although he left us all too soon, he has left the world a better place because he was in it. Lou, played quarterback on the football team at San Mateo High School, graduated in 1996, and went on to San Francisco State University before being diagnosed with a debilitating mental illness. No effort was spared in the treatment and hope for his full recovery; however, with the recent death of his beloved mother, Amal, Lou was overwhelmed with grief and passed away unexpectedly. We find comfort in knowing he is now with his Mother and at rest in God's loving arms. Lou loved life immensely and lived each day to the fullest. His beautiful heart was filled with love for others; he loved to help and serve people, both young and old,and has touched the lives of everyone who were blessed to know him. Lou is survived by his loving Father, Jack, Brother Nader (Antonia), nephew Jacob, his Grandmother, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, and by his companion Dorinda. He is preceded in death by his beautiful Mother Amal and his Grandfather Issa. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the National Association of Mental Illness (NAMI) … and we ask that you kindly remember this: if you should run into someone who is like Lou please do not turn your back ~ instead reach out and embrace them in remembrance of our wonderful Lou. Funeral services will be held on Tuesday August 27th at 1:00 Greek Orthodox Memorial Park, ~1148 El Camino Real, Colma CA A meal of mercy will follow at the Mukhar residence 707 Catamaran Street #2, Foster City CA
