زياد شاب جميل المحيا، مرح، المحب للحياة، ذو الضحكة الدائمة ، يأسر الدمع بعينيه الخضراوين ووجهه الجميل الضحوك. كان عفويا، واجتماعيا إلى أقصى الحدود. وكل من عرفه احبه واحترمه، حتى أن زياد كان خدوما لدرجة انه يحاول المساعدة سواء طُلِبَ منه ذلك ام لم يطلب وذلك لأنه يتميز بالاندفاع.
Ziad was in his thirties, married to Rima Osseiran, and they had a son, Youssef (2.8)… Youssef who still doesn’t understand his father’s fate and keeps asking for him…
عمل زياد في شركات توصيل متعددة الا انه استقر في شركة " أرامكس" منذ خمس سنوات. في الرابع من آب كان زياد قد أنهى عمله، الا ان احد زملائه طلب منه أن يقوم بتوصيلة لبريد في منطقة الحمراء، فلم يتردد بالموافقة.
Ziad worked overtime to make some extra income to improve his economic situation, and when his coworker asked him for help, he obliged without a complaint. He completed the delivery and was on his way back near Audi Bank – Tabariss area, when a warehouse exploded in the Port of Beirut. Ziad’s leg was injured. He pulled himself and crawled towards the sidewalk where he found a rock and used it as a pillow. One of his coworkers was in a nearby area, and took him to Jeitawi Hospital… His wife and family arrived to the hospital. His brother Anas looked for him among dead bodies, while his wife and other brother went to the operating room; a doctor informed them that he passed away.
