It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of our loving father, husband and brother, Fouad Majaess in the early morning of November 1st, 2020 in Victoria, B.C. Born in Bhamdoun Village, Lebanon, Fouad immigrated to Halifax, N.S. in the late 1970’s for a better life and to escape the civil war.
Fouad obtained a B.Sc. (Mathematics) and an M.Sc. (Mathematics and Computer Science) from Dalhousie University and spoke three languages fluently (Arabic, English and French). During this time, he met and married the love of his life, Evangeline, moved to Toronto and then settled with their two daughters (Namat-Maria and Gabriella) in Victoria B.C. in 1993.
Predeceased by his parents Gebrael and Souad Majaess, in-laws Konstantinos and Marouso Paravalos and his brother in-law Nazih Farah. He is survived by his wife of 34 years, Evangeline [Namat-Maria and Gabriella (Fiancé Roberto)]; brothers Elias and George, sister Nehmat (Zeina, Jana and Ghina); brother and sister in-law Evangelos and Adriana Paravalos (Katerina, Christian and Natalie); Families of Fred Majaess, Spiro Matta, Halim Matta, Daoud Matta; and the Families of the Late Michael Majaess, Brahim Majaess, Sleiman Majaess, Assaad Majaess, Amin Majaess, Mary Majaess Khairallah, and Samira Matta.
Fouad was known as a very hard working, devoted and generous man, both professionally and personally. Fouad spent 32 years working as a Senior Computer Systems Analyst for Environment Canada in the Canadian Centre for Climate Modelling and Analysis division. Fouad was a loving and caring husband and father, a marriage and relationship with his wife and daughters most dream of. Although a quiet man, Fouad had a gentle smile and kindness that drew people to find comfort in him. Fouad will be missed and was dearly loved by all. His memories will not be forgotten and he will be cherished forever.
A Funeral Service will be held at the Ypapanti Greek Orthodox Church in Victoria B.C., however, due to COVID-19 guidelines, this will be a closed service. A livestream will be available for those who would like to attend virtually.

I cannot believe this is true, tears fill my eyes. Fouad was a very kind person. I received a lot of help from him whenever I came to his office and he was always very patient when answering my questions. Fouad will not be forgotten by all of us who respected him.
I’m very sorry to hear of Fouad’s passing. I’m a relative newcomer to the CCCma and Fouad was extremely welcoming and helpful as I settled in. He was one of the first people I met and he would always greet me with a warm smile and would stop by my desk to check how things were going. My sincere condolences to all of you.
