Mohammad "Behzad" Maddah

Mohammad "Behzad" Reza Maddah knew how to enjoy life. He loved good food, a good laugh, a familiar ball cap, and time spent with the people he loved. Always ready for a party or a mehmooni, he brought warmth and good humor wherever he went.

Above all, Mohammad was a devoted father to his daughter, Roxanna June Maddah. They shared a close bond filled with laughter, memories, and deep love. He was her dad, her best friend, and one of the greatest loves of her life. She will carry that bond with her always.

Mohammad also treasured his family and friends. He was happiest sharing a meal, telling stories, and enjoying time together. He reminded those around him to make room for another plate, another laugh, and another gathering.

He was preceded in death by his father, his beloved mother, Talah Joon, and his cherished furry grand-Dach-son, Lincoln.

He is survived by his daughter and #1 Fan, Roxanna June Maddah; his fur granddaughter, Lucy; his cherished siblings, Mehran, Behrooz, and Mojan Maddah; and the many friends and loved ones whose lives he touched.

Mo was deeply loved, and he will be greatly missed. His love will live on in his daughter, his family, and the memories they hold dear.

"Namiram az in pas ke man zendeh-am / Ke tokhm-e sokhan rā parākandeh-am."

"I will not die hereafter, for I am alive / I have scattered the seeds of words."
