Devoted husband, father and grandfather will be remembered for his gentle demeanor, unwavering kindness and willingness to lend a helping hand
It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Yasin Faraj Faour, beloved resident of Colchester, Vt., who left us on January 13, 2025. He was born on February 22, 1944, in Sha’ab, Palestine, and his life was a testament to resilience, love, and commitment to his family, community and heritage as a proud Palestinian American. Yasin’s journey began in a small village, where he developed a profound appreciation for his heritage and culture. This early experience shaped his life and the values he held dear. In his youth, Yasin pursued his education at the American University of Beirut, Lebanon, and then continued at the University of Vermont in 1965 in the field of radiology technology, where he helped to pioneer angiograms. He worked at Mary Fletcher/University of Vermont hospital until 1981. He married Wafika, and they moved to Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, where he worked at Aramco’s Hospital in charge of their X-ray department. Upon moving to Colchester, Vt., in 1991, Yasin quickly became a cherished member of the community after purchasing Sunny Hollow Quick Stop. Known for his gentle demeanor, unwavering kindness and willingness to lend a helping hand, he touched the lives of many around him. His contributions to community endeared him to all who had the pleasure of knowing him. Yasin was a devoted husband, father and grandfather. His family was the cornerstone of his life, and he took great pride in their achievements and happiness. His wisdom, guidance and unconditional love will forever be remembered and cherished by his loved ones. Although Yasin has left this world, his legacy of compassion, generosity and strength will live on in the hearts of those he leaves behind. He is survived by his loving wife, Wafika Faour; children, Rami (Rebecca), Samer and Rabie Faour; and grandchildren, Amira, Yara, Rima and Aida Faour. He is also survived by his brother-in-law, Wafic (Helene); many nieces and nephews; and friends who will honor his memory and continue to be inspired by the values he embodied. A memorial service will be held to celebrate Yasin’s life and to share memories of the remarkable person he was. Details of the service will be announced shortly. May Yasin Faour rest in eternal peace, and that his memory be a blessing to all who knew and loved him…
