Obituary of Michael Zaitoon

Michael Zaitoon, 91, formerly of Union City, New Jersey, died peacefully on October 29, 2024 at Sunrise Assisted Living facility in Edgewater NJ. Michael was born in Homs, Syria to the late Abraham and Olga Zaitoon. He is the middle brother of the late Ernest Zaitoon and his beloved younger sister Mary Badre who predeceased him. He is survived by his nephew Jeff Badre and niece Karen Badre Campione. Michael immigrated to the US with his mother Olga and his sister Mary upon the passing of his father to join his brother Ernest who was born in the US, before the whole family returned to the homeland Syria because of his father’s poor health. Michael was a good-hearted and kind person. He loved everyone he met and was very generous with his family, and was the caretaker of his mom until the day she died. Life is sometimes a challenge, but with his faith in life eternal, Michael is hopefully finding reward in heavenly angels. May he rest in peace.
