At the age of 29, he married Maliheh Mashian in Tehran, Iran. Together they built a home founded on love, respect, and partnership.
He was a loving father — a guide, protector, and role model — who instilled in his children the values of honesty, compassion, and perseverance.

- Edana, who married Dr. Nader Naziri.
Their daughters: Mojdeh Banayan and Ghazaleh Adelpour. - Edward, who married Nava Nejad-Kashani.
Their children: Jonathan, Jasmin, Jamie, and Justin. - Elena, who married Saeed Aminpour.
Their children: Natasha, Nathan, Brian, and Eli.
Eshagh Hedvat was known for his generosity and charitable spirit. Helping others was not merely an obligation but a moral calling. His kindness, humility, and integrity earned him the respect and admiration of all who knew him.

His legacy lives on not only in the success he achieved but also in the values he passed on to future generations.
May his memory forever be a blessing.
I really wanted to appreciate you for wonderful things you do for our society. Your name will be remembered with pride , integrity and respect.
Thank you for your kind words.
It looks like my father biography is much shorter than what I sent you.
With a big thank you to Mr. Khalili and Mrs. Golbahari.
Dear Edna,
I tried to cover the important parts of your father’s life. Some parts were removed due to security considerations. But if there is anything you would like me to add, please let me know.
Sincerely,
Jila Golbahar
