Girma Merto Obituary

Girma was born in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia and grew up in Nazreth, Ethiopia. He

immigrated to the United States in 2005. His legacy lives on through the incredible hard work and dedication he showed during the 19 years he spent here in the United States.

ግርማ የተወለዱት በአዲስ አበባ ኢትዮጵያ ሲሆን ያደጉት በኢትዮጵያ ናዝሬት ነው። በ2005 ወደ አሜሪካ

ፈለሰ። የእሱ ትሩፋት እዚህ አሜሪካ ባሳለፋቸው 19 ዓመታት ባሳዩት አስደናቂ ትጋት እና ትጋት ይኖራል።

With heavy hearts, we remember and honor the life of Girma Merto a devout servant of

God, son, brother, uncle, and friend. A truly giving soul, he touched the lives of everyone around him with his kindness, generosity, and desire to help others. He leaves behind a legacy of warmth and kindness. He will be dearly missed by his family and friends.

በከባድ ልባችን፣ የእግዚአብሔር ልጅ፣ ወንድም፣ አጎት እና ጓደኛ ታማኝ አገልጋይ የሆነችውን ግርማ ሜርቶን ህይወት እናስታውሳለን እና እናከብራለን። በእውነት ነፍስን የሚሰጥ፣ በዙሪያው ያሉትን ሰዎች ሁሉ በደግነቱ፣ በልግስናው እና ሌሎችን ለመርዳት ባለው ፍላጎት ነካ። የሙቀት እና የደግነት ትሩፋትን ትቶ ይሄዳል። በቤተሰቡ እና በጓደኞቹ በጣም ይናፍቀዋል።
