Mesfin Debella Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Ellis Funeral Home & Cremation Service - Nashville on Dec. 10, 2025.
In loving memory of Mesfin Tadesse Debella
June 19, 1950 – December 8, 2025
With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of our dear father, husband, grandfather, uncle, brother, and friend, Mesfin Tadesse Debella, who left us on December 8, 2025, at the age of 75.
Mesfin was born in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, on June 19, 1950. He was a deeply caring and loving man who made countless sacrifices for his family: his wife Meaza Gugsa Donsa, and his children, Yonas, Kaleab, Yonatan, and Nardos, whom he affectionately called "my princes" and "my princess."
He was the son of Tadesse Debella and Bogalech Beyene, and beloved brother of Shiteye, Tsehay, and Wellansa Tadesse.
Mesfin was a gentle, generous, and trustworthy soul; someone you could depend on for anything. His kindness touched everyone who knew him, and his quiet strength was a source of comfort and guidance. He lived his life with humility, compassion, and unwavering love for his family. We will miss him very, very deeply, and his memory will continue to inspire us for the rest of our lives. To send flowers to the family or plant a tree in memory of MESFIN TADESSE DEBELLA, please visit our floral store.

I´m deeply sorry about your loss... Telahune was a brother to me, not just in words but in my heart. I carry a beautiful childhood memory of him that I will always cherish. He was kind, funny, and loving like a big brother, and his presence filled our lives with warmth and laughter. I am deeply saddened by his passing, but grateful for the memories that will live with me forever.
Sincerely,
Tsige Tedla
