On April 22nd, 2018, our community suffered the tragic and unexpected passing of Mouhammadou Faye (also known affectionately as Mouha, Mo, Momo).
Mouha was a bright, charismatic, funny, extremely generous young man who brought light and joy to his father Jean Faye, his mother Amsatou Ndiaye and his sister Fatou Faye, his extended family in the US and Senegal, his sports teams, the Spencer View community, the Camas Ridge School community, the Eugene Islamic community, the African community of Eugene, and any Duck athlete he admired and had the chance to meet. He will be missed and remembered by so many whom he touched.
