In April 2011 Bishop Gazal succumbed to illness. Following the outpouring of grief and admiration for his life's work from all spheres of the Lebanese spectrum, the President of the Republic bestowed upon Bishop Ghazal the rank of Commander of The National Order of the Cedar. At the request of Bishop Ghazal he was interred at his beloved Monastery of the Holy Saviour in Saida, Lebanon.
