<div itemprop="description">Jerome Goytom <br>May 26, 1941 – December 25, 2016 <br> <br>Jerome Goytom passed away peacefully on Sunday, December 25, 2016, surrounded by the love of his family and friends. <br> <br>He leaves behind his sisters, Abrehet and Esther, and a vast number of friends and relatives worldwide, who we miss very much already. <br> <br>Jerome was a dedicated organizer in the Eritrean independence movement from the early 70’s in Europe, the United States of America and Canada. <br> <br>He was a veteran and respected leader of the Eritrean Community in Ottawa. His selflessness and his larger than life personality have been invaluable pillars in the community. <br> <br>His passions were music, dancing and reading. <br> <br>Jerome was always ready to lend a helping hand to those near and far. Without any fanfare, quietly and with humility, he helped countless people. His generosity and compassion for family, friends and strangers flowed with an open and loving heart. The endless 'gifts that he kept on giving' throughout his life (at all times) will forever be remembered, honoured and cherished. His integrity, constant inquisitiveness and his innovative approaches to resolving life’s challenges made people seek his advice and trust his judgement. His love and kindness knew no bounds, which people felt through his dedication and support. <br> <br>Jerome had the ability to interact with people of all ages, backgrounds, nationalities. He was a man of the world; interested, knowledgeable and concerned. <br> <br>CELEBRATION OF LIFE<br>Please join us in remembering and celebrating<br>a life that touched so many hearts.<br>Come share your memories of Jerome Goytom.<br>DATE: Saturday, January 28, 2017<br>TIME: 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm<br>LOCATION: St. Anthony Banquet Hall<br>523 St. Anthony Street (off Preston St.)<br>Ottawa, ON K1R 0A6<br>Ottawa, ON K0A6<br>CELEBATE THE LIFE, CHERISH THE MEMORIES<br><br>For those wishing, online condolences and tributes can be made at www.kellyfh.ca.
