ESFNA
It is with great sadness that we inform you that Shimeles Gessese, our dear brother, a long time player and leader of the Abyssinia Sport Club of Portland, ESFNA board member and ardent ESFNA supporter passed away on Tuesday July 24th, 2007 from a heart attack.
He died on the soccer field doing something he loves. We will have a formal release in the coming days, but we would like to take this opportunity and pray for comfort for his family and friends.
Those of us that have known Shime for years know what ESFNA meant to him – he has been there through thick and thin, and has always had big plans for the organization he loved so much.
Funeral and memorial arrangements have not been decided as of yet but we will provide updates as soon as we receive them. May God rest his soul and bless his family with the strength to deal with this tragedy.
