With great sadness, we announce the passing of Dad and
Grandfather Samad (Sam) ZamaniZadeh.
He preceded in death by his wife Kobra ZamaniZadeh.
He is survived by his son Ali and Ramin (Amanda), and daughter Lili (Mark). His grandchildren Ali (Tita), Chaz, Anita (David), and Behnam. His friend Caroline, his caregivers Shani, Erica, and Francisca.
Born on March 29, 1932, in Iran, he spent his business career in the Ministry of war National Aviation Organization until 1985 when he moved to Portland, Oregon to be with his children.
His contagious smile and larger than life personality gained him
many, many friends wherever he went, and he is known far and wide as having a heart of gold, never passing up a chance to help others. He was also creative, adventurous, funny, outgoing, a natural born leader. He was always the life of the party and an epic storyteller!
He will be widely missed by all who have had the pleasure of knowing him!
Forever 30, he leaves with a piece of all our hearts!
