NAGHIBI, Iradj - October 31, 1940 - June 3, 2020
We are heartbroken to announce the passing of our father, Iradj Naghibi, after a short battle with leukemia lymphoma.
Predeceased by his beloved wife, Safidokht Safipour Naghibi, he leaves behind his daughters, Mana (Douglas) and Nima (Andrew); grandchildren, Anahita, Safianna, Natasha and Cyrus; siblings, Forough and Manouchehr, in Iran; and many nieces, nephews, and extended family. Iradj also leaves behind a wide circle of friends around the world, which he attracted and cultivated with his tremendous generosity, kindness, and hospitality.
Iradj was born in Nahavand, but moved to Tehran as a child.
Iradj was a true gentleman, always gracious with others; he had a sharp mind and lively, sometimes irreverent, wit that brought laughter to all who knew him.
A Celebration of Life service will be planned when Covid restrictions ease, and his many friends and loved ones can gather to celebrate properly the life of our much-loved father and grandfather.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in his memory to the Evergreen Brickworks, in Toronto. https://www.evergreen.ca/donate/from-the-ground-up/.
These will be directed towards children's programming at the Brickworks.
