Zuhair Elias Antone

Zuhair Elias Antone was born on July 16, 1936, in Baghdad, Iraq. At the age of 87, he passed away peacefully and comfortably at Ascension Providence Hospital in Novi, Michigan on Wednesday, August 16, 2023, after bravely enduring a significant stroke two weeks prior.

As the last surviving child of his parents, Elias and Hanniya Antone, Zuhair embraced his role within his family with grace and strength alongside his siblings Miriam (Hermez Atchu), Yousif (Nazhat), Alice (Shakir), Najiba, Peter (Najiba), Noori (Claire) and Adil (Ann). On September 4, 1966, he married the love of his life, Rosemary, beginning a partnership that would enrich their lives and the lives of those around them. Together, they raised four sons: Rick (deceased), Tony (Nermien), Jeff (Nikki), and Steve (Rachel), and shared the joy of eight cherished grandchildren: Joey, Grace, Luke, Jordan, Danny, Charlie, Hope, and Will. As we bid farewell to Zuhair Elias Antone, may his spirit rest in eternal peace, and may the memories of his love, kindness, laughter, and unwavering faith continue to shine brightly in our hearts.
