Emile Jeries Lutfi

Emile Jeries Lutfi, beloved father and son, passed away peacefully on January 17, 2026. Born on February 17, 1969 in Jordan, Emile was second-born of his family and spent his formative years at The Melkite Greek Catholic School in Zarqa, Jordan before completing his education in Mechanical Engineering at the Jordanian Institute of Technology.

 After moving to the US in 1997, he began his lifelong career as an esteemed business owner, where he was known as a pillar of the community—exceptionally generous, selfless with his time, and always willing to give back to those in need.

 Emile’s greatest pride in life was his family. Emile married Fabiolla Jebrin in 2003 after a love story and courageously raised two children, Jeries and Jad. He was often seen bragging about his children, throwing jokes to lighten the mood of the room, or making commentary about the state of Alabama college football. He was also a man of great faith, a devout Catholic, working everyday to emulate Christ in all that he did, whether that be through his family, work, or social life. To those who knew Emile, words on a piece of paper or spoken aloud could never be enough to describe the love he gave so freely, the generosity he lived by, and the lasting impression he left on all who were fortunate enough to know him. He gathered all of his close family from around the world with him and set them up for a great life filled with success and comfort.

 He is lovingly survived by his wife, Fabiolla; his children, Jeries and Jad; his parents, Jeries and Lily; and his siblings, Osama and Rania.
