Kossi Edudzi Fiavi's Obituary
Pascal Kossi Edudzi Fiavi was born on Sunday April 15, 1990 to Cephas and Marcelline Fiavi in Lomé, Togo. As a child, he was passionate about making friends and playing soccer with the other children in the neighborhood. When the family immigrated to the United States in 2001, despite cultural differences and a language barrier, his ability to connect with others did not leave him.
He was an active member in the youth group at First United Presbyterian Church, participating in adventures with other young people, from mission trips to local volunteering projects. He joined the wrestling team at Hylton High School, a sport he participated in all throughout high school and college. More than activities though, it was people that he was drawn to, seeking to both learn and teach. He was also the assistant coach for a girls’ soccer team as a high school student.
As a student at York University, he became interested in business and majored in Supply Chain Management. Between summers, he also worked at various places including Atomic Bounce, where he transported bounce houses to birthday parties and events. After his studies, he found employment at Hershey’s where he worked his way up to Supervisor of Supply Logistics.
More than anything though, he loved people. His college wrestling team remembers him fondly. His friends speak highly of him and those who have met him even just once talk about the impact he has left on them. His ultimate dream, in working hard, was to take care of his family, especially his mother whom he loved dearly.
Pascal passed away on Sunday, January 29, 2023 in a fatal car accident in Stuarts Draft, VA but he lived his life full of vitality and joy. He will be terribly missed by his mother Marcelline, his sister Makafui and his girlfriend Danielle and many, many other loving family members and friends.
A funeral service will be held at 2:00 p.m. Saturday, February 11, 2023 at First United Presbyterian Church of Dale City, 14391 Minnieville Road, Woodbridge, VA 22193.
