Yohannes, a 2012 graduate, played Spartan Soccer and was active in DECA and other Marketing activities while in high school. He also played soccer at the University of Mary Washington.
“Henok was such a joy in Marketing class and in DECA,” wrote long-time Marketing teacher Liz McDowell on the funeral home Web site. “His big smile and enthusiasm were contagious.
“Henok was well-liked because of his kindness to everyone and positive attitude,” McDowell said. “He will be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.”
