Majdin H. Taba, Ph.D.

Memorial

(Obituary not yet available) Poem Dedication for Majdin - From his Friends with All Our Love: Death is nothing at all. I have only slipped away to the next room. I am I and you are you. Whatever we were to each other, That, we still are. Call me by my old familiar name. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Put no difference in your tone. Wear no forced air of solemnity nor sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me. Let my name be ever the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without effect. Without the trace of a shadow on it. Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same that it ever was. There is absolute unbroken continuity. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am but waiting for you. For an interval. Somewhere. Very near. Just around the corner. All is well. - Henry Scott Holland

I still do not want to believe this vibrant soul is no longer among us. That is why it has taken me so long to post anything. As if by not posting, I could somehow make it not be true. He was such an incredible man and he left a profound impact on everyone he touched. Majdin was a great mentor and friend to me and I feel honored to have spent so much time with him over the last two years. My only comfort is that he passed peacefully in his sleep. I loved him like a brother and miss him every day.

I was absolutely shocked to here of Majdin's passing. He and I were colleagues at Argosy University for seven years and shared many professional and more personal moments sipping fine scotch. As faculty members we often sought and shared each other's advice on curriculum development, student advisement, student dissertation committees and the like and, always, his first concern was the students and how to support and help them achieve their academic goals and dreams. Students always came first! He will be missed and remembered.

My condolence goes out to all the CMU family and his family members regarding this unique loss. Dr Taba carries this same smile even when scolding us in the classroom!! He was a great mentor. 😞

The falcon flew away, full of vision and understanding, a man of peace, may the gentle soul of Dr. Taba rest in perfect peace of the Lord God Almighty. May the Lord God grant the University community and the Taba family the fortitude to bear to his passing on.

Flight of your soul Hearts heavy with utter sadness having to celebrate the life and the flight of the soul of our beloved and revered Dr. Taba. His soul is ascending the Kingdom on high in happiness free from the cage of the body. Enduring his absence not easy, too daunting to bear. Cherishing his memories, we will walk the path he paved and follow the Mission for Education he so treasured. No doubt he would tell us, in his caring and eve-kind words: Do not stand at my grave and weep; I am not there; I am not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow; I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain; I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush; I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry; I am not there; I did not die. Poet unknown. He is sorely missed and fondly remembered.
