The Kirkland Church family was deeply saddened by the death of a most beloved member, Cesar Umayam, on Oct. 19, just a few days before his 51st birthday. A skilled carpenter, handyman and mechanic, he used his talents to serve anyone in need.
Blessed with a beautiful tenor voice, Umayam was an original member of the Men of Kirkland, a chorale of Christian men from the greater Seattle area. He had served as an elder for several years, and he and his wife were favorite leaders in the junior department.
The Cesar Umayam Memorial Endowment Fund has been established to provide scholarship assistance for needy students at Auburn Adventist Academy, Kirkland Adventist School, Puget Sound Adventist Academy, and Sunset Lake Camp.
