Farhad was known for his resounding laughter and vibrant personality. He was the life of every party, effortlessly bringing people together with his thoughtful nature and his quick wit. Friends often remarked on his ability to make any gathering feel special, and he leaves behind a vast network of friendships that spanned decades. Farhad’s spirit and warmth touched everyone he met, and his legacy of love and kindness will continue to inspire those who knew him.

The family would like to thank the staff at UCLA oncology, Los Robles Hospital, and Guardian Angels for the care and compassion they showed our loved one in his final days.

Family and friends are invited to join in honoring a remarkable man - whose laughter and love will be profoundly missed - at a graveside service at Pierce Brothers Valley Oaks in Westlake Village, CA on Friday, November 22 at 2:00 pm. Following the service, a gathering will be held at the home of Farhad’s sister Farriba Azouri, where we can gather to eat, share our memories and celebrate Farhad’s life together.
