ከፍተኛ የሙያ ብቃት በማሳየት በተለያዩ አማካሪ ድርጅቶች ውስጥ እና ከአለም አቀፍ አሠሪዎች ጋር ይሠራ የነበረው የአቶ ኤልናታን ማቲዮስን ዕረፍት ከጥልቅ ኅዘን ጋር እናሳውቃለን።

ኤልናታን እንደ "ኤልቬሽን " እና "ከፍታ" ያሉ አፓርትመንት ፕሮጀክቶችን ላይ በዲዛይን እና ቁጥጥር ሥራ ተሳትፏል።

ትልቅ ተስፋ ከተጣለባቸው እጅግ ጎበዝ ባለሙያ ወጣት አርክቴክቶች መሀል የነበረው ኤልናታን ብዙ ሕፃናትን በማስተማር እና በማገዝ ይታወቃል።

የኤልናታን ማቲዎስ የቀብር ሥነ-ሥርዓት ቅዳሜ ፣ ሚያዝያ 10 ቀን 2018 ዓ.ም በቅዱስ ዮሴፍ ቤተ-ክርስቲያን ከቀኑ በ6፡00 ሰዓት ይፈፀማል።

ለቤተሰቦቹ ፣ ለሥራ ባልደረቦቹ እንዲሁም ለሙያ አጋሮቹና ወዳጆቹ መጽናናትን እንመኛለን።.

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Elnathan Matheos, who demonstrated high professional excellence while working in various consulting firms and with international employers.

Elnatan participated in the design and supervision of apartment projects such as "Elevation" and "Kefita."

The funeral of Elnathan Matheos will take place at St. Yoseph Church at 12:00 PM on Saturday, April 18, 2026.

We extend our deepest condolences and wishes for comfort to his family, colleagues, and friends.
