Peter Onsy Youssef

Peter Onsy Youssef passed away suddenly in Cairo, Egypt on Friday, March 2, 2018, at the age of 42 years.  Born and raised in East Brunswick, NJ, Peter attended East Brunswick High School, Providence College, and Fordham University.  Although he was an only child to Onsy and Maissa Youssef, he was a brother to all who knew him.  Peter loved his parents, his family and their children, his friends, travel, and the Boston Celtics.  His heart was so pure - he would go to the ends of the earth for anyone.  Peter was a loving, kind, and gentle soul who was loved by all who met him.  While his sun may have set too soon, like the moon and the stars that follow, his light will forever shine down upon us.  May God rest his soul in peace, and give comfort to his family and friends during this difficult time of grief.

“I shall pass through this world but once. Any good therefore that I can do or any kindness that I can show to any human being, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.”
