Born in Torbat, Iran on December 5, 1951, Mr. Parvizi was a son of Seyedjalal Parvizi and Soltan Nahidipoor. Educated at the esteemed Polytechnic University of Tehran, he graduated with a combined degree in water resource management and civil engineering.

A technological wizard, Mr. Parvizi enjoyed repairing computers. He would happily lend his assistance to anyone in need. He was referred to as “everyone’s 911”. A devoted and loving son, husband, brother and father, Mr. Parvizi will be dearly missed by his family and the extended members of Bahá’í community.

  • Saham (Sam to us here) was always the finest of gentlemen to everyone he met and worked with here. He was well liked and was a fountain of engineering knowledge and analytical skills. He will be missed by all who knew him. We had lunch together on numerous occasions with an office group trying out different restaurants or to say good-by to someone leaving this office. It is hard now to imagine that he is gone from amongst us all.

    “Life and death are so closely allied that they are the two halves of one heartbeat and yet death never seems very real to us in the normal course of events – who therefore awaited Shoghi Effendi’s death!”

    So shocked and sorry to hear about your husband’s death. We are all thinking of you at this sad time. We will look forward to seeing you at yoga when you are ready to return.

  • I and my Yekom colleagues in Iran were all shocked when we received the news of Saham’s sad demise. He was very nice and knowledgeable man who devoted his efforts to everyone needed. We had a very fruitful meeting with him last yea when he was visiting Iran. He presented all of experiences he had gained during the period that he had immigrated to USA. I pray his soul will rest in peace.

  • Last time when I saw Saham was in 1971 while we were studying in the university . As a close friend I saw him talented, kind, innovative and pure May The Abha Beauty elevate his lovely soul to the highest Paradise of His visitation, Amin Ya Rabbal Alamin
