so sorry to hear about this stick. I always try to be spiritual in most everything I address. Take solace knowing you will see him again.
Take care bud.

thanx guys...havent slept havent stopped crying..I need help right now cause its only getting worse..my 2 sis are In greece and so I just got the news on how it happened..she just posted a bulletin on myspace:

For those who knew and loved Naji the way I did, I wanted to let you know that Naji has passed peacefully in his sleep on 7/31/08. I saw him the night before. He took me to his dance class and showed off his dance skills with grace. It's funny because my first memories with Naji have been of dancing. We went to the 8th grade prom together. We were supposed to go out to dinner but chose to stay in with his parents instead. We had an amazing evening with his mother and father over dinner and laughs. We spoke about the past, about love and passion, about friendship...Naji always had a way of shedding light and humor on everything regardless of how dark the circumstance. His humor, patience and love for people has been a gift to all of us.



I love you Naji and thank you for being such a great friend.



His family will be holding a service for him in Greece on Sunday, August 3rd, at 6pm at St. Paul Church in Kiffissia Kokinaki 4 and Tatoiou st. They will be flying him home to Lebanon where he will be buried on August 5th.



Rest in Peace my brother!

god this sucks so bad..I can only imagine what a mess they must be..hopefully their holding up better than I am..I cant even be there and I was supposed to :(

Urban Hiker

Sorry to hear about this stickboy and I'm sorry you had to find about it just as you were looking to reconnect. :(


Please pardon my prying, but did he have a medical condition? He looks far too young to pass in his sleep.

Take care.

After I left Greece in 96 bout a yr or so later he got into an accident which left him in a coma and thru yrs of therapy with another one of my best friends and my sis teaching him how to read, write, talk and make strides towards becoming normal again it seemed he made almost a 100% recovery contrary to what doctors were saying. It was really an inspiration to see him take advantage of his 2nd chance at life and it was just taken all away soon as he seemed ready to hang with us all again. I still dont know if it was any complications he had or I pray and hope he didnt mix any meds or got brave enough to have enough of a good time with my sis and drank or something.
One of the more recent times we kicked it was when some douchebag hit me in miami with a car and fractured my leg and we spoke and he got me out of my depression..he was really good at that..just with that infectious smile of his and his voice...like my sis said, even thru the darkest of times he always smiled and maintained a positive attitude..and I cant even do that right now..despite all he taught me

at fucking 29 yrs old :(

purple_chick79

chiquimonkey

thanx everone


its gonna get easier one of these days..when I finally accept it

I am so sorry for the loss of your friend. That is way too young to go through what he did and then to loose his life (so, so early) in his sleep...

One of my parent's neighbors went through a hellacious throat/lung cancer battle last year, and he was doing really well. He was out on his boat dock on Friday, and must have misjudged the step from the dock to the boat (the water is down). He fell and either landed on something that punctured his lung (he only had one left), or broke a rib that punctured it. He was older, but damn--how unfair for someone (like your friend) to go through something like that and then this happen to them. :(

Will be thinking of you...

ilovesinging

I feel really sorry for you. I hope you get better soon . At least you had some good times.

norm

hey dude i'm really sorry for your loss....all i can tell ya is the pain will ease up although it will never go away...i lost my best friend to cancer 6 years ago and it still hurts....what makes it better is remembering the good times we had together....hang tough my man

damn..thats rough! Then people wonder why I have no faith..cause of shit like that..I dunno maybe I'm too affected by this and other shit I been thru...he's actually the 2nd friend I lost from my days in greece. It was such a bond we all had form the american community schools that 10 yrs later you look and everyone still has that same bond and love...wish I could be back there with all of them now and I cant and its fucking eating away at me...all I can do is try and communicate with them thru here

again I cant thank you all enough for being a friend to me and a part of my life...never expected this from a band
thank you

E.,
I am so sorry for your loss of your friend, and he was so young. :(
<friendly type of hug>

I don't know if this will help b/c you said you don't have faith but for me, I believe God calls angels home for a reason, even though it might not make sense or seem fair or right to those of us on Earth.

I am so sorry and I will say a prayer for his family and for you to have strength at this difficult time. Hey maybe you should call the Russian chicks now, for some comfort! (sorry, trying to make you smile a little bit)...

hang in there and take care of yourself,

Allie

stickboy

a lil better today

thanx to my sis..the stronger one, lol

just posted this bulletin and made me feel better


For those who knew and loved Naji the way I did, I wanted to let you know that Naji has passed peacefully in his sleep on 7/31/08.



On September 25th 1995 Naji got into a severe motorcycle accident. It was his third!!! He went into a coma for 2 1/2 months and suffered a major brain injury. His years of therapy taught me so much. After not being able to see, talk, remember or walk Naji's determination and strength prove to be stronger. In his final years after the accident he drove, danced, water skied, dated and even published 3 books.
Check out virtualpatience. com and let his memory live on.



I saw him the night before his passing. He took me to his dance class and showed off his dance skills with grace. It's funny because my first memories with Naji have been of dancing. We went to the 8th grade prom together. We were supposed to go out to dinner but chose to stay in with his parents instead. We had an amazing evening with his mother and father over dinner and laughs. We spoke about the past, about love and passion, about friendship...Naji always had a way of shedding light and humor on everything regardless of how dark the circumstance. His humor, patience and love for people has been a gift to all of us.



The best lesson I learned form Naji was to live in the present. He said that's why the present is called the present... because it is always a gift.



I love you Naji and thank you for being such a great friend.



The service his family held yesterday was beautiful. They will be flying his body to Lebanon where they will have his service for the final goodbye. Please direct your prayers towards his family for strength.



Rest in Peace my brother!

naji knew about pearl jam cause we lived in greece during their peak in the mid 90's but never knew about Present Tense.....well I guess he did b4 ed did

thanx to you all for being there the past few days...cant be said enough..I really appreciate it
much love

It sucks losing someone you love :(. It sounds like he did take advantage of his second chance and made the best of it..There is only so much you can control. Take care buddy, and remember to live in his honor and pass along all the good things he taught you..
