Mazen was a devoted husband to Lena Hassan and a loving father to their three children: Zaina (19), Issa (17), and Lana (14). He worked tirelessly to provide them with opportunities, ensuring they could attend Catholic school throughout their lives.

His strong work ethic and determination were evident in everything he did as he strove to create a better life for his family.
Beyond his professional life, Mazen found joy in simple pleasures. He was an avid Real Madrid fan and had a deep appreciation for good food, fruit, and coffee. He loved playing poker, watching Arabic movies, and spending time with his children. Traveling to Jordan was something he cherished deeply.
Mazen was predeceased by his parents but leaves behind a legacy of love and perseverance through his wife and children. His memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew him.
