It is with profound sadness that the family of Aissa Adde announces his passing on August 25, 2025.
Aissa was the beloved father of Daniel Adde, Gabrielle Penfold, and Slayman Adde; the dear brother of V. Rev. Fr. Gabriel Adde, Reverend Father Ephrem Adde, Mounira Edo, Bano Adde, and Sargon Adde; and a cherished grandfather and uncle to many.
He was widely known for his kindness, cheery spirit, gentle humor, and generosity. A true gardener at heart, Aissa took great delight in nurturing his garden—then joyfully sharing the flourishing fruits and vegetables with family and friends.
Aissa’s legacy lives on in his children—Daniel, Gabrielle, and Slayman—his siblings, and all the grandchildren who were the light of his life. As a playful and supportive uncle, he wove countless precious memories with his nieces and nephews.
A devoted member of his church community, Aissa was passionate and active in his faith. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to St. Afrem Syriac Orthodox Church, an institution that was close to his heart.
May his memory continue to be a blessing, and may his spirit find eternal peace.
