Agib Louka Rozek of Sanford, NC, peacefully passed away 5/2/2024, at the age of 83 surrounded by his family. He was born on 12/5/1940 in Asyut, Egypt. His parents, desiring a son after having three daughters, welcomed his unexpected arrival as a miracle. In honor of this wonder, they named him Agib.
After graduating from Asyut University with a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, he pursued a career as an engineer until 1985. It was then, that he and his wife made the decision to relocate to the United States, driven by a desire to provide their children with greater opportunities for a better life. He then joined Tyson Foods, where he dedicated over 30 years of service.
He found contentment in the quiet moments of life, cherishing time spent with his family. Known for his humility and kindness, he expressed his love through his thoughtful actions. Wrestling matches held a special place in his heart, alongside the satisfaction he found in repairing things around the house. His dedication to his work and his role as a provider for his family filled him with pride.
He was preceded in death by his parents Louka Abdelmessih Rozek and Estina Micheal Gerges. He is survived by his devoted wife, Angrid, his daughter Susan and her husband Amel, his son Ashraf and his wife Sarah, his son Hany and his wife Maryann, along with his 4 grandchildren John, Jake, Sara, and Christopher.
Family and friends are warmly invited to join in a service honoring his life at St. Stephen Catholic Church, situated at 901 N Franklin Dr., Sanford, NC 27330, on May 11th, 2024, at 12 pm.

2 Corinthians 1:3-5
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. For as we share abundantly in Christ’s sufferings, so through Christ we share abundantly in comfort too.
