Issa Marshoud Zayid

Issa Marshoud Zayid was born in Ramallah, Palestine on March 5, 1955 to the parents of Marshoud and Farideh Zayid. He is preceded in death by his parents and brother, Ibrahim Marshoud Zayid.

Left behind to cherish his memory is his devoted and loving wife, Sawsan; son Marshoud Zayid (Christina); daughter Lena Foteh (Yousef); daughter Tanya Magariki (Eli); son Samer Zayid; brother Musa Zayid (Manal); sister Rose Zaid (Ghazi); sister Mona Sackllah (Adel); his adoring grandkids; all his nieces and nephews; and extended family and friends.

Our beloved Issa is truly one of a kind with a heart of gold. He was a hard worker, a devoted husband, loving father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend to many. He leaves behind a family that he was very proud of. His grandchildren were the joy in his life, and he cherished the time he spent with them. He is loved by everyone. His energy would lighten up any room he walked into. Everyone was drawn to him and loved to sit and listen to him telling jokes and stories. He would laugh at the joke while telling it and though we couldn’t understand him, he always had us laughing. He is and always will be the man of the hour.
