GABY BOUKARIM

In loving memory of Gaby Boukarim who sadly passed away on October 20, 2025, at the young age of 57.

Gaby was loved by all who knew him. He graced this world with love and kindness. Gaby's passing has left many heavy & broken hearts.

He was known for his zest of life, his contagious laugh, and his heart of gold. Those who knew him felt a sense of peace when he embraced them with his comforting hugs. Gaby was an unselfish soul who always put the needs of others before his own. His infectious laughter and warm smile could brighten the darkest of days, spreading joy wherever he went. Gaby adored his children above all else, nurturing them and cherishing every moment he spent with them.

He leaves behind his loving wife Katia, two wonderful children (Angelo and Kaya), his devastated mother Odette, and two siblings Pierre and Diana, who shared a special bond with him. His nephews Jessie and Jonnie, and Paul and Mark, will miss him no less dearly.

He is proceeded in death by his late father Nazih.

Gaby was a remarkable individual who had a deep passion for cars, which eventually led him to pursue a career as a skilled mechanic. His dedication and expertise in this field earned him immense respect among his customers who valued his honesty and integrity.

Through hard work and dedication, he eventually fulfilled his dream of owning his own successful business which he named K & A after his beloved children.

Gaby worked hard his entire adult life and never got to experience retirement or even have few vacations to enjoy that part of life which everyone deserves. He went from working to terminal illness; a very sad reality that makes his passing that much more tragic, and our hearts even heavier.

Although Gaby is no longer with us, his memory will live on in the hearts of those who were touched by him. He will dearly be missed by all who were fortunate enough to have known him, befriended him, or shared kinship with him.

Until we meet again, may his soul rest in eternal peace
