Vinoo Oommen Abraham was born on September 5, 1979, into a Pentecostal home in
Adoor, India. As a young boy in Kuwait, Vinoo demonstrated a thirst for
knowledge, excelled academically, and loved to participate in various school
clubs and activities. He was a gifted artist who found joy in using his
talents to bring pleasure and happiness to his loved ones. It was also at
this time that his love for flying grew out of frequent visits he made to his
father's work place at the airport.
In April, 1995, Vinoo, his parents, and his younger brother Vineet, immigrated
to Canada. Upon settling into life in Canada, Vinoo took on any
responsibilities his parents asked of him; to driving his mother to work to
helping his father manage his business. His yearning for God, which began
in Kuwait where he was baptized and filled with the Holy Spirit, was also
evident in Canada where he was an active member in Grace New Convenant
Pentecostal Church. He was involved in music, transportation, and
Sunday School ministries. In addition to his passion for God, Vinoo
was devoted to his family and loved spending quality time with them.
Vinoo married his lovely wife, Janey, on August 9, 2003. Their love for
each other was strong. On February 13, 2006, God blessed them with a
wonderful son, Micah, whose smile still reflects his father's joy and happiness.
Vinoo's dream of flying became a reality in September 2005 when he was accepted
into flight school. He completed his first solo flight on February 7, 2006
and was weeks away from receiving his Private Pilot's license.
On August 4, 2006, on his flight back to the airport after a routine training
exercise, Vinoo met with an accident and God took him home. Although he
will be greatly missed by his friends and family, we are comforted knowing that
VInoo is in the presence of God. He leaves behind his wife Janey, son
Micah, parents Roy & Dolly, brother Vineet, and Janey's parents Roy & Elcy,
along with countless family and friends.
We will never forget.
