Memories of Qais
In such a short time, he impacted so many
I worked with Dr. Farjo at Wildwood Surgical Center. What a kind, gentle man. Everyone loved working with him. He was so good to all of his patients and the staff. He is very much missed; we have very fond memories of him.

I was a fellow Flexie is Qais' class. I was also blesssed to have been his roommate during our Internships. Qais was without a doubt the most decent and caring person I had the pleasure to call a friend. I still can't believe he's not with us. I miss him. I hope to meet him someday in the next life.

I remember well Qais' easy smile and his kindness to everyone. We were residents together for 2 years in Ann Arbor. I am so sorry for his family's loss.

My mother was a patient of Dr. Farjo's at the Kellogg Eye Center and he was such an amazing, caring and compassionate doctor. There aren't many like him. His family, friends and patients have lost a truly wonderful person and doctor. Our family is so sorry for your loss.

When my daughter was six, we took her to Dr. Farjo for an emergency appointment. She had, somehow, gotten a tiny piece of glass embedded in her cornea. Dr. Farjo was such an incredibly compassionate and talented Doctor and was able to remove the glass with absolutely no lasting negative impact on my daughter's vision. She's 15 now and I have always been so thankful for the fact that she was referred to Dr. Farjo. Our deepest sympathies to your family on your loss. Our family will always remember him with a grateful heart.

Dear Rand, Reem, Rafid & Deena:
You are in our thoughts and prayers everyday passes since your dear loss "Qais". He was such a nice and fine friend we knew throughout the years and as you miss him, we do too. Keep strong day after day, and yes "Rand and kids" as you said previously he is watching you from above and keeping an eye on you as he always did on earth.
Even though the world had lost an angel, but the heavens had gained one

I also had the immense pleasure of being a patient of Dr. Farjo. I could not have found another physician as genuinely kind, caring, talented as he. I'm deeply saddened by his passing, and I will keep both him and his family in my thoughts and prayers.
RIP, Dr. Farjo. The world lost an angel.

I had the pleasure of being a patient of Dr Farjos in Toledo. He was always the nicest man, never rushed me, never made me feel like I was bothering him. And if I had to wait, he would apologize to ME for making me wait! What doctor ever does that. I will miss him.

My deepest condolences to the entire Farjo family. I was lucky enough to meet Qais while working at the Swaroop lab in the Kellogg Eye Center. I deeply admired his passion for his work, his sense of humor, and his kindness. Though I am deeply saddened by his passing, I feel so grateful to have known him.
May everyone who is grieving his loss feel lightened by the memories of his loving and kind personality.

Dr. Muna Farjo--our love, thoughts and prayers are with you and your family since we read of your sons passing in the paper. I'm sure he was an outstanding man and Dr. who loved his family and cared for his patients. Rex and I understand the heartache you are experiencing. Working through the physical separation is difficult. We wont forget the wonderful care you gave us. We wish you and your family peace and comfort!

May his soul rest is peace!!! I knew Dr. Farjo well and also the family due to my association with Kellogg Eye Center 2002-2006 and my friendship with his brother Rafal which started in Michigan and continuing at Oklahoma City. We're parying for the family.

I have fond memories of Qais working side-by-side with his brother, Adam, during some of the surgeries at Kellogg. They were brothers and partners that shared the same vision! My condolences to the family. Vicki Villa -- Kellogg operating

I've worked as an ophthalmic technician since 1985, including time at the U of M Kellogg Eye Center and the Michigan Eye Bank. Although I never had the honor of working with Dr Farjo, I've heard only good, kind words about him and know he must have been a generous person and talented physician. I visited a low vision website today (www.frogtownvision.org) and came across this from a former patient: "Dr. Qais Farjo, a cornea specialist did a partial cornea transplant a couple of months later. The results of these two surgeries were amazing and to this day, March 12, 2013, my retina is still stable. I am able, with the help of a visual magnifier, to read books, address envelopes, read four lines on the eye chart, and read correspondence. With Zoom Text on the computer, I can communicate with others. The improvements were slow in coming but they definitely helped improve my outlook on life." This person mentioned they had previously considered suicide because of their poor vision! I hope Dr Farjo's friends and family find some comfort in knowing how much joy he brought to others by helping to preserve or recover their sight.

It was a privilege and honor to work for Dr. Farjo when he was in Toledo. He was a very gifted doctor and surgeon with so much compassion for his patients. He was extremely understanding of the fear his patients had with their eye problems. I will really miss the Wolverine-Buckeye teasing he gave me. I feel very blessed to have known him. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

I had the pleasure of working with Dr Farjo when he was in Toledo. He was an excellent doctor. He was very caring and gentle and his patients loved him. Even when he was sick he cared about others, he helped get my grandma into U of M for emergency eye surgery. I feel very blessed to know and work for him! I will miss him a lot.

We are so sorry to hear of the loss of Dr. Farjo, he was such an amazing person and doctor. I first met Dr. Farjo after graduating from the University of Michigan (BSME) and wanted to have one of the U of M doctors check my eyes before deciding on surgery, etc. I met Dr. Farjo for my first eye appointment and evaluation, he was so awesome, extremely knowledgeable and so gentle, he was the doctor I was hoping to find. Dr. Farjo did my surgery at the U of M and it was perfect, no glasses for the first time in a bunch of years.
After leaving GM and the state in 2004, I needed a check-up and possible additional surgery so I called the U of M to schedule another appointment with him but was told he had left the U of M practice. I asked the U of M clinic if they would tell me where Dr. Farjo went and reluctantly they told me to contact a hospital in Toledo so I google'd him and found him at the Toledo Eye clinic and was off to follow Dr. Farjo to his second hospital/clinic. The staff at the Toledo Eye clinic was great and they commented that I wasn't the only person that flew in from out of state just to see him, they also knew how special Dr. Farjo was.
After another couple of years I needed to have another eye check-up (2013) and called the Toledo Eye clinic and found out Dr. Farjo had left and joined his brothers practice in Brighton, Michigan. I was off again following Dr. Farjo to his third hospital/clinic and saw him last year and knew he had some recent health issues but hoped it wasn't anything too severe. Dr. Farjo did my exam, we talked about family and of course the Wolverines and it was like the first time I met him. I was so happy for him and his family that he was back home and I knew he got a kick out of me flying in from out of state to have him check my eyes but he was the nicest, most kind, caring and smartest doctor I knew and God only gave us two eyes so to me it made perfect sense. I am so sad for your loss, it was such terrible news, Dr. Farjo was such a good person and doctor, he will be missed by so many. I am so very blessed that our paths crossed and I will remember his kindness always, rest in peace Dr. Farjo, God Bless you and your family, Love, Gary Talbot
Gary Talbot - March 03 at 03:07 PM

You have my very deep sympathy on your loss. I had the great pleasure of working with Dr. Farjo when I was serving as CEO of the Michigan Eye-Bank several years ago. His support for the mission of the Eye-Bank and for Eye-Bank staff was greatly appreciated. He will be sorely missed by the many people he helped through his medical skills and his generous compassionate spirit.

Sending my heartfelt sympathy on the huge loss of Dr. Farjo! My mother has had several corneal transplants from him, and I also started going to him myself. What a truly caring , and soft spoken man., I have never had a Doctor be so friendly , and take the time to explain everything to you during your visit! I just heard of his passing today, and would love for his whole family to know what a great Man he was!! My mother would talk of how he would hod her hand when she was getting her eyes checked, and it left her feeling at ease.. Dr. Fargo truly enjoyed his job, and for that, I'd love to say Thank- you, Dr Farjo!! Rest in Peace

Dear Qais,
We always remember you as a magnificient human being. The friendship with you was very well appreciated for us and sadly we did not have the opportunity to see you again since our return to Peru.
I will miss your kindness and your sense of humor.

So very saddened about the loss of Dr. Farjo. He was so incredibly wonderful to my Mother and tried feverishly to save her eye. My mother suffers with dementia and he would just be so compassionate and kind to her. He would personally call to check on her. We would see him weekly and at one point several times a week. The world has lost a very special man and doctor. I can only imagine what a wonderful husband, father, son and friend he must have been. May you find peace now and in the days and years to come. With much love Nancy O'Henry-Roberts, my mom Maria O'Henry and Family

I am so deeply saddened to learn of our loss of Dr. Farjo. He was a great man. I owe him so much and have thought so very highly of him. I met Dr. Farjo in 2006 he continued to treat me until 2012. I found him again last summer and when he walked in the room and smiled the way he always did, he was about to shake hands with me, when I gave him a big hug and told him how happy I was to find him. I'll never forget how concerned and compassionate he was for me. I will never forget this amazing man.. With my deepest sympathy,

My sympathy to the wife, children, and family of Dr. Farjo. Dr. Farjo was my physician at Vision Associates diagnosing and monitoring the health of my eyes until he had to discontinue. I appreciate not only the vast knowledge that he displayed, but his wonderful "bedside manner' in patient care. I am thankful for his ministrations and sorrowful at his seemingly untimely death.

Qais certainly was a very special person. He took his job as an ophthalmologist very seriously, but always appreciated the humorous side of life. I will fondly remember our last conversation not too long ago at a KEC conference. In his characteristic soft-spoken manner and with a twinkle in his eye, he recounted a “dramatic” cataract case that we were involved in some 15 years earlier. As usual with Qais’ surgery, everything turned out fine. Sadly, Qais has left us far too soon. I join the others in extending my condolences to his wonderful family.

I will always remember Qais as one of the most generous people I met during my time at Kellogg. He was generous with his time, his humor, his intelligence, and his abilities. I was fortunate enough to have him as the rotating third year on the consult service when I was a first year doing consults. He was an incredible person and exactly what I needed during the fifth and sixth months of my first year of residency. He took the time to teach me so many things, and I never once felt that he was rushed or annoyed by having me around (because at the time I was really clueless about all things ophthalmology.) When things got a little stressful, he was wonderful at diffusing the stress...I can still see him doing his best Mr. Burns impression from the Simpsons while tapping his fingers together, 'Excellent...' On a particularly rough day for me, he must have sensed my beaten-down spirit because he asked, 'Why don't we go over to Angelo's for a while?' I had never been to Angelo's and was ready for a break. If you've ever been to Angelo's, you know that their homemade bread is a cure all. And after sitting in Angelo's, eating their bread, and talking to and laughing with/at Qais, I felt a lot less stupid and so much better. Thank you, Qais, for taking me (a silly greenhorn of a first year) to Angelo's (been there many times since and always think about/talk about you while I'm there), for being such an amazing human being, and for making my residency experience so much better.

Anyone who met Qais would agree that his presence always brought harmony and peace into the gathering. It always felt wonderful to be around him. He was such a good man in so many ways.
We are so happy to have known him as a friend, as a husband to his wonderful wife, as a father to his children, and mostly as a decent human being. The heaven's doors are wide open to receive him. We truly loved him. We will always love him.

It was a pleasure to get to know Qais and his family while at Kellogg. He was truly one of the kindest and best people you could ever know. One of my fondest memories of my time in Ann Arbor was at the Farjo house until 4am editing the senior skit tape with Qais and Adam Hassan; crying, we were laughing so much. Our prayers to Rand, the kids and the entire Farjo family.

A friend at work stated that all of our faces light up whenever Dr. Farjo's name is mentioned. She is new to Wildwood and was sad that she never had the chance to meet him. I have the utmost respect for him and am so thankful I did get the opportunity to work with him. He made work fun, brought laughter and happiness to all of us, and to all the patients he cared for. We are all a little better people for knowing him. The thought of him will forever bring a smile to my heart. My deepest sympathy and prayers to his family. He will never be forgotten and will be missed by all.

I can't think of better friends than Qais and Rand. Our families met on Reem's first day of 1st grade. We've shared many of soccer game. Our kids became friends. Qais diagnosed my mother's macular degeneration immediately and likely saved her vision 5 years ago. Without him, my mother would not have received treatment as early or as effective. A few years later their home was a refuge for me after chemotherapy. Qais's humor and kindness helped me get through this most difficult time as we shared our journeys of side effects and fatigue. Even near the end, when the family was confronted with unfairness and he response was "This builds character." A much better person than I and a great example of what I would like to be. He will be terribly missed.
Amy Remillard - February 28 at 07:52 PM

Thank you, Qais, for sharing your compassion and kindness with us. I feel privileged and honored to have had you as a colleague and friend for over half my life! I will always remember how much you cared for others, your humor, your sincerity, and your humility. You have touched so many people and we will miss you dearly. My deepest condolences to Rand and the Farjo
family.

Although I did not know Dr. Farjo as well as his beloved friends and family did, I had the delightful privilege of teaching Reem and Rafid in 6th grade. Only a wonderful, loving man, together with his role-model wife, could create those beautiful children of such high moral fiber and Christian values.

I was stunned to hear Dr Farjo's passing. I worked with him at wildwood. He was always kind and caring to patients and staff. I always enjoyed taking to him about Michigan football, he loved it!!!

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

Qais and I joined the faculty at the Kellogg Eye Center around the same time, 14 years ago. We soon became well acquainted as we started to share in the care of one another's patients. Qais' gentle demeanor, compassion, kindness and unassuming manner was something that impacted me early on in our beginning friendship. It did not take long for me to see and experience first hand what a gifted surgeon Qais was. He was truly a surgeon's surgeon, par excellence. He set the bar for me as a physician and I have since strived to emulate his level of expertise and care. I will miss my friend more than I can adequately say in this venue. This is a profoundly sad day for me, but I am forever thankful and honored to have had Qais as a colleague and a friend. I extend my most sincere and heartfelt condolences to Rand and the entire Farjo family.

Qais was truly one of the kindest, sweetest, and gentle people I have ever known. I am so saddened knowing he has passed, yet I have smiled frequently today thinking of him and all of the wonderful times we had as residents and in our Brighton office together. I have also realized the great strength he possessed as he went through the past four years. Rest in peace, Qais. We will miss you dearly.

Qais was a kind, generous, honest, humble, soft-spoken, deep-thinking, trustworthy, strong, funny, all around good guy. I spent 3-years as co-residents with Qais at Kellogg. I never once saw Qais lose his temper or raise his voice. When Qais spoke, we all listened because we knew he would say something important, true or funny. I remember him as a technology-lover who introduced us all to the "palm pilot". He was the kind of person anyone would want as a lifelong friend. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. The world has lost a truly good man.

This just saddens me. Qais was a great physician to work with. Always kind, gentle, and smiling. He will be sorely missed.

Qais will always be smiling in my eyes. No matter the topic of discussion or how heated the other people got, Qais was calm, soft-spoken and smiling. He will be greatly missed.

I am deeply saddened with the passing of Dr. Fargo. I had the pleasure of working with him for several years at Vision Associates. He was a brilliant doctor and an absolute joy to work with. I will treasure the memories I have of him. His family is in my thoughts and prayers.

I have many fond memories of Qais from the years of his residency and beyond at Kellogg Eye Center. I enjoyed working with him tremendously. I remember one moment when I was told that I was needed ASAP in his OR--he had an urgent question. I hastened to his room, where he exclaimed: Thank goodness you're here! I've never understood this Beatles lyric--what does it mean? It was just one of many warm, funny moments we shared. I will alway treasure those memories. My sincere condolences to his family.

I had the privilege of working with Qais for 2 years during our training at U of M, and we have maintained a friendship since. Qais was a very special person with an unmatchable heart. His compassion and kindness to all were an example to anyone who knew him. He and his family showed incredible hospitality during my years in Ann Arbor. I will always be grateful for that and I consider myself fortunate to have known him. The world is a little less kind with his loss. Qais taught me many things about work and about life. I will cherish his memory - truly a life well-lived, but ended far too soon.

I first met Qais on the interview trail in Wisconsin. We just met but he offered me a ride to the family friends where I was staying. When I was unsure of the area I asked him to drop me off at a pay phone (in the days before cell phones) so I could call them. He would not leave until he knew I had made the connection and was getting there safely. I had taken him the opposite direction from his drive home to Michigan and he got stuck in rush hour traffic! I didn't hear about that until almost the 2nd year of residency!
Thank you, Qais. For this and so much more.

I am a patient of Dr. Farjo. I met him in Toledo and then followed him to the Brighton office. He gave me back my sight, and for that I will be extremely grateful for the rest of my life. It was with great sadness that I read of his passing. I cannot begin to express my sorrow about his passing. May God bless his family.
