With heavy hearts and deep sorrow, we announce the passing of our beloved Atallah Atallah, who peacefully entered into the arms of our Lord on Wednesday, April 2, 2025, in Ottawa, Ontario, at the age of 65, following a courageous battle with cancer.
Born in Lebanon on March 17, 1960, Atallah was the cherished son of the late Georges Atallah and Therese AbouAssaf. A proud resident of Ottawa, he lived a life of love, service, and generosity. Known for his warm heart, kind spirit, and unwavering compassion, he touched the lives of all who crossed his path. He was also admired for his dedication and talent as a respected hairstylist.
Atallah was a devoted husband and loving father whose unwavering support and affection created a foundation of strength, happiness, and treasured memories for his family.
His life was a reflection of Christ’s love—marked by humility, compassion, and a constant readiness to help others. His faith was his anchor, carrying him through life’s challenges and offering comfort in his final days.
He is survived by his beloved wife, Dolly Atallah (née Bahnam), his devoted children, Emily (Ryan Elias) and Georges, and his treasured grandson, Matteo Elias, the light of his life, who brought him immeasurable joy. His love for his family was limitless, and he will forever remain their guardian angel.
Atallah is also survived by his loving brothers: Elias (Helene), Eddy (Fayzi), Dargham (Suzanne), and John and family; and his dear sisters: Hana (Elias Yacoub), Marie (George Georges), and Houda (Nasr Nahra). He will be deeply missed by his many nieces and nephews, aunt, uncles, cousins, and extended family in both Canada and Lebanon.
Visitation will take place on Sunday, April 6, 2025, from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at: Beechwood Funeral Home – Beechwood's Sacred Space, 280 Beechwood Avenue, Ottawa, ON K1L 8A6
Funeral Mass will be held on Monday, April 7, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. at: St. Charbel Maronite Catholic Church, 245 Donald Street, Ottawa, ON K1K 1N1
Atallah’s memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him. We find comfort in knowing he now rests in the loving embrace of our Lord, free from pain and suffering. His soul is at peace, and his enduring love will continue to guide and watch over us. His legacy of kindness and faith will remain an inspiration to all blessed to have known him.
May his soul rest in eternal peace, surrounded by God’s everlasting light and love.
