Parviz Etessam, age 91, passed away peacefully in his home on Wednesday, April 5, 2017 surrounded by family and friends.
Parviz was a loving husband to Parvin for over 70 years. His children, Shahin, Mitra and Ali and four grand children each respected and admired Parviz’s strength, wisdom and courage.
Parviz was a talented engineer as well as a linguist who was fluent in Russian, English and Farsi. He traveled to many places in Europe and the Middle East for his work and served not only as an oil engineering expert, but as a respected translator and technical consultant as well.
Parviz was a strong man who was a competitive boxer in his youth, but his ready laugh and warm smile were as striking as his strength. His boisterous laugh and kind eyes lit up a room and his generous and warm heart touched all who knew him.
Although Parviz struggled with Alzheimer’s and other health concerns in his later years, his loving spirit and inner strength were never wavering.
