قيصر، نشأ وترعرع في كنف عائلة مؤلفة من الأب فـؤاد أبو مرهج والأم ليلى بشاره، ومن ثلاث أبناء: عفيف قيصر وميشال. مُتأهل من السيدة غريس البير عبد الله، ولهما ولدان جوزيف ذو الأربع سنوات وجيوفاني ذو الستة عشر شهرًا.

Kaisar went to school in Rachaya, and graduated from the town’s technical institute with a TS in Accounting. He joined the Lebanese General Security in 2006 as a cadet, and was gradually promoted to become a Chief Inspector First Class, on December 31, 2018. Throughout his service, he attended several trainings in Lebanon, and was, in different instances, decorated by the General Director of General Security, Major General Abbas Ibrahim.

Kaisar was the family’s breadwinner, a good son, a dedicated father, and a perfect husband. He was also loyal to the job, and committed to his duties. His dedication, as well as his sacrifice and performance, were always commended by his superiors.

ذلك اليوم، كان قيصر يخدم في مركزه الواقع في مرفأ بيروت، شاهد الحريق المندلع في العنبر رقم 12، ليتواصل مع قيادته ويخبرها بالوقائع وتفاصيل ما يحدث في المحيط، ويصدر قرارا مضمونه بإخلاء المرفأ من العاملين بمختلف شرائحهم، وأخذ التدابير اللازمة ريثما تصل الجهة المعنيّة للمساعدة. في هذه الأثناء، كانت زوجته على تواصل معه للاطمئنان عليه، ليخبرها بأنّ عليه أن يجري اتصالا برئيس دائرته لإخباره بهول الحريق.

Grace called again but his line was busy. All communication was completely lost at 6:07 PM. The warehouse exploded breaking the heart of Kaisar’s mom who lost him forever.

His wife is proud of her martyr husband. She describes him as an angel who saved many lives from an inevitable death. Kaisar’s dead body was among the first to arrive to Al-Zahraa Hospital on the day of the explosion. According to his autopsy, he died immediately of extreme physical injuries.

Kaisar’s life was best celebrated in a heartfelt eulogy by his friend poet Souheil Sakr:

قيصر بروحه تفاني .. وروح تأسر بآدامية …

صادق وأمين ..بالوفا مشهور.. ابن الموسيقى والعلم

فليت ومش تارك ولا انسان حاقد عليك وفي إلو غلة
فليت وفيه بروحك وفا وعز وكرامة بموسم القلة
