He had a great dream of serving his community ı Tribute by Joseph Saab

"With a heart filled with sadness and grief, I mourn our dear student Elio from the Holy Spirit University of Kaslik (USEK) family, who was unjustly taken away by a treacherous weapon while in the prime of his youth. He graduated with sincere effort and rare determination. I supervised his research project for his Master's Degree and he graduated in June 2025!

I knew him as a bright, well-mannered student who loved learning, was dedicated to his work, and never tired. He had a great dream of serving his community, but the hand of treachery reached out to him for no reason and without fault.

Elio left us too soon, but his impact will remain in the hearts of all who knew him, his professors and classmates, in every idea we discussed together, and in every step he took towards science, honesty, and humanity.

We hope that God inspires the Lebanese state to take decisive action in withdrawing the historically present, uncontrolled weapon of betrayal that has never protect its bearer and never will!

May God have mercy on you, Elio."
