**In Memory of Davood Hazany**
Davood Hazany, son of Yaghoub Hazany and Maryam Sanandaji, was born in 1926 in Kashan, a city known for its fragrance and cherished memories.
His childhood was simple and grounded in modest beginnings. After completing the sixth grade, his father’s wishes and family circumstances brought him to Tehran, where his formal education came to an end.
From a young age, through diligence and honesty, he began working in the fabric trade in Tehran’s Grand Bazaar. In time, he entered into a business partnership with his beloved brother, the late Elias Hazany, and together they shared life’s hardships and joys side by side, building their livelihood through trust and hard work.
In 1953, Davood married his life partner, Mrs. Aghdas Shirian, a kind and patient woman whose presence was always a source of comfort and strength for the family.
Their union was blessed with three children:
Dr. Ebrahim Hazany, Mr. Behrouz Hazany, and Dr. Elham Hazany.
He held deep affection for their spouses—Mrs. Shahin Makabi, Mrs. Elizabeth Davis, and Dr. Arman Toumari.
His legacy continues through his grandchildren—Dr. Salar Hazany, Mr. David Hazany, Ms. Sarah Sanam Hazany, Ms. Rebecca Hazany, and Ms. Celine Toumari—and his great-grandchild, Ms. Scarlett Hazany.
Davood firmly believed in the power of education, and his encouragement shaped the lives of those he left behind, all of whom achieved high academic and professional standing. Through tireless effort, discipline, and devotion, he wholeheartedly supported his family so that his children could pursue their education and become independent.
A testament to his lifelong love of learning was a notebook he compiled over ten years with great patience and care, containing poems, educational and humorous stories, and explanations of Persian proverbs, all written in his beautiful handwriting.
Peacefulness, faith in God, gratitude, and integrity were among his most defining qualities. He was a hardworking man of exemplary perseverance who found meaning in honest work, devotion to Judaism, and a deep sense of responsibility toward his family and community.
In 1999, Davood immigrated to the United States. He passed away in Los Angeles in 2018.
Though he is no longer with us, his memory, values, and enduring love remain alive in the hearts of all who knew him.
May He Rest In Peace.
