JANHO, Maher Janho
November 22, 1950 - March 7, 2026
Passed away after a courageous battle with cancer. A devoted husband, he shared 47 wonderful years of marriage with his beloved wife, Georgette Janho. Maher was a proud and loving father to Michael and Grace, always making sure his family was cared for and supported in every way he could. He loved his children unconditionally and took great pride in the life they built together. He was also a deeply proud grandfather to Lucas and Léa, whose love for him meant the world. With a childlike sense of humour, he loved spending time with them, sharing laughter and playful moments that made their bond so special—and it was that same joyful spirit that made them adore him so much.
Maher was known for his warm heart, joyful spirit, and the kindness he shared with everyone around him. His warmth and kindness had a special way of making people feel loved around him. With his big heart and uplifting presence, he brought laughter and positivity wherever he went. He was a loving brother and uncle to his extended family and held them all close, cherishing the many moments they shared together. Maher truly loved life and believed in making every moment count, always finding happiness in bringing smiles to others.
Maher was also proud of his career as a Captain in Middle East Airlines and loved the years he spent flying. In his spare time, he enjoyed painting, a hobby he pursued with great talent. He also loved spending time relaxing by the beach and could do that every day! These simple joys that brought him great happiness are a reflection of his humble heart. Maher will be deeply missed by his family and friends near and far, but the love he gave and the memories he created will remain in their hearts forever.
