September 1952 - November 2022

Ehsan Asaad Bishay was born to the late Asaad and survived by his loving mother, Victoria, in Egypt.

He was immersed in the Christian faith from a young age, which would be one of his most proud and cherished traits.

Ehsan, known to many as Sam, was blessed with a large and loving family.

He married his first love, Ioanna Bishay, on January 13, 1987 in Cairo, Egypt. Ehsan helped raise his three children with love, faith, selflessness and trust.

He taught them about Jesus, unconditional love, the importance of family, fishing, and often took them on family trips all over the world.

His favourite trips were ones in an RV, driving together to Florida and all over North America.

Ehsan was an educated, hard working, loving and successful businessman who spent his entire life putting others first and always loved spreading the word of God any chance he got.

He always made time for others and lived his life as a role model for his children who he loved more than anything. He will be dearly missed by his entire family and loved ones.

Ehsan is survived by his wife, Ioanna Bishay, his sons, Mena and George (Olivia); his daughter Christina; his grandchild Rome; his brother Nabil; his sister Iris and his mother Victoria.

He is preceded in death by his father Asaad and his loving brother Amir.
