Born in the city of Amman, Jordan on September 24, 1966, he has been a resident of the city of Poughkeepsie since his family immigrated here in 1976. A life-long entrepreneur, Ayed found his greatest success with his company "American Recycling", he also ventured into construction and landscaping businesses. While work occupied Ayed's days, his passion laid in his art, his favorite way to express that passion was to lay pencil to paper and try to brighten someone's day by surprising them with a beautiful sketch. His numerous selfless acts for each and every member of his enormous family were only outshone by his unconditional love. Ayed will always be remembered for his beautiful smile and enormous personality which brightened any room he entered. He will truly be missed.
