Legesse Bekele Obituary

We bid farewell to Legesse Bekele (Madison, Wisconsin), whose journey of life gracefully concluded on January 23, 2026 at the age of 69. Legesse touched countless lives with warmth and kindness, leaving behind cherished memories that will forever echo in hearts. Family and friends are welcome to leave their condolences on this memorial page and share them with the family.

As Legesse departs from this earthly realm, his essence lingers — a whisper on the wind, a ripple on the water — a testament to the enduring power of love to transcend the boundaries of life and death. Though Legesse may no longer walk beside us, his spirit lives on in the memories and the legacy Legesse leaves behind.

He was loved and cherished by many people including: his parents, Ato Bekele Dikir and Wolete Yohannes Wolde Amanuel; his wife Linda Begashaw; and his sisters, Genet Deferes, Almaz Bekele, Asnaketch Bekele and Hanna Bekele. He was also cherished by many nieces, nephews, and their children.
