Michael George Amouri

With gratitude for a life lived with abundant love and friendship, and with deep sadness, we announce the passing of Michael Amouri on September 11, 2026, in Vienna, Virginia.

Michael was a man full of joy, remembered by all for his constant smile, his unwavering devotion to his family, and his vibrant presence as a dedicated community advocate.

The beloved son of George and Georgette Amouri, Michael graduated from George Mason University and spent many successful years in the television industry. He worked with WETA public television, Discovery, and as a talented freelance line producer. Later in life, he pursued his dream of opening a coffeehouse dedicated to creating a warm community gathering space. His creation, Caffe Amouri, became far more than he ever envisioned—serving as a true heart and hub for the neighborhood.

Michael’s legacy of warmth and service lives on through his loving family. He is survived by his life partner, Kathie Rawson; his beloved daughter, Nicki Amouri and daughter-in-law Kristen Amouri; his cherished granddaughters, River and Juniper; and his sister, Robin Schueneman, and nieces Heather Edwards (Ricky) and Kimberly Woods (Brandon).

A Celebration of Life will be held at the The Flame Room In the Vienna Volunter Fire Station, 400 Center St. South, Vienna, VA 22180 on October 6, 2026 from 3:00pm to 6:00pm Friends and community members are warmly invited.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that contributions be made in Michael’s memory to the DC Candlelighters Childhood Cancer Foundation, or to local Vienna charities Rustic Love or the One Neighborhood Foundation.
