August 28, 1949 ~ August 13, 2025
Born in:
Hamat, Lebanon
Resided in:
Pueblo, Colorado
Bassam Aziz Issa, born in Hamat, Lebanon, resident of Pueblo, Colorado, went home to be with the Lord on August 13, 2025. Preceded in death by his parents, Aziz Issa and Gulnar Fadel Issa and wife, Emily Al-Nawar Issa. Survived by his son, Elias (Andrea); son, John; daughter, Julnar; grandchildren, Veronica, Audrey, and Simon Issa; and siblings, Ilham, Issam, Siham, Wissam, and Inaam. Bassam was not just a devoted family man and a great engineer. Always there for his three children, he was also wholly dedicated to his church and his friends, ready to share a story, a joke, or some delicious food. As a proud Lebanese American, together with his wife, he embraced life in a new country he loved. Always happy to be around company and never one to ask much of others, he will be deeply missed.

Aziz
We will dearly miss Bassam, a good man, a gentleman. We remembered how he enjoyed showing us TikTok or YouTube images of Lebanese women belly dancing or musical groups playing traditional songs…. and also his love of pomegranates. Rest in peace Bassam, our love and prayers to you.
My uncle and godfather, I will always remember you as a man who was not only kind, intelligent, and affectionate, but also a joker. Rest in peace.
May God give you strength and hope of the great reunion as you navigate through life without the presence of your beloved one.
Keep his light shinning in your lives.
Jesus said… this is our hope.
“I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live”
Sending hugs to the family,
Inaam Yared’s Friend
