Kalil A. Bejaige

Kalil A. "Kal" Bejaige, age 50, of Swanton, passed away Wednesday, February 19, 2020. He was born on August 19, 1969 to Mary (Esse) and Ali Bejaige in Toledo, Ohio. Kal was a graduate of DeVilbiss High School in 1987. He even received an award for never missing a day of school from elementary through high school! Shortly after he received his journeyman's license in electricity. Kal worked as an electrician from 1988 until 2020. He most recently was at the University of Toledo Medical Center for 27 years. Kal enjoyed spending time with his family and was his daughters' biggest cheerleader. He loved gardening, was a master landscaper and played the harmonica. In spite of his love of sweets, especially ice cream and bubble gum, he was still a fitness buff. Kal never met anyone that remained a stranger and had a heart of gold. His smile was contagious and could light up a room with his humor. Kal had a love for his two fur babies, which he resisted at first. He was most proud of his daughters' activities and achievements and would say everyday how beautiful and smart they were. He truly will be missed by all who knew and loved him.

Kal is survived by his loving wife of 15 years, Wendy Bejaige; daughters, Cassidy and Sara; mom, Mary (Roger) Buyer; siblings, Jeanine (Danny) Lorigan, Braheim "Brian" Bejaige, and Janan (Ayn) Bejaige; nieces and nephew, Daniel (Lisa), Ashley (John) and Brooke (Max); uncle, Hassan Bejaige; in-laws, George Nuhfer and Connie (Bill) Massie; fur babies, Bentley and Max; and many other family members and dear friends. He was preceded in death by his dad, Ali Bejaige.
