Yared, affectionately known as 'Redd', was often remembered as a beacon of light. Many spoke of his radiant smile, the laughter and joyful tears his jokes brought about, and the warmth of his hugs and kisses that lingered for days. These reflections are true for anyone who knew him, but what resonates more is that his love was a light that never dimmed.
Yared had a remarkable ability to go above and beyond for everyone he met. It seemed as though his life's mission was to brighten someone else's day. Whether it was giving away his last dollar, calling exactly when someone needed support, or making someone laugh, he was always there at the right moment. His generosity knew no limits, and his love for others was boundless.
Although he may never fully grasp the extent of his impact, our family has chosen to ensure that Yared's light continues to shine. Today, we decided to honor his legacy by forming a foundation in his name.
