Man,it seems like yesterday that I was playing football with Merhrdad and his bothers so many years ago. Mehrdad was one one of my first true friends,and will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Mehrdad always stood up for his friends and family, he was a man full of character and honor. I wish now that the years did not slip by and our wife's and kids could have met each other.

This is a true and tragic loss. My deepest thoughts and prayers are with the entire Moussavian family.

To the Moussavian Family; I am a regular customer at the gas station and I was devastated when I heard the news, Murdock was always so full of life and made everyone laugh, he always laughed at my car because it is so small that he would say "I'm sure you can fill that up with $10. bucks". Nothing I say will make the pain go away. Christine, stay strong for your children and always remember that Murdock will always watch over you and the children. May your good and happy memories get you by this difficult time. He is resting now. God bless you and your family....RIP Mehrdad..

Christine,
My sincere condolences. It seems like yesterday that I'd be over the house trying to avoid the three amigos(madison, shiloh, and diablo), eating dinner with you guys, and the calling each other of fruitcake or you to me specifically, bones. I have incredible memories of Murdoch. I am blessed to have known him. Thinking of him will always
put a smile on my face.

If you knew Mehrdad, you knew he was a quality man from a very young age. His charachter was simple and straightforward, there were no illusions and there was no guessing when speaking with him. He made people laugh and smile. Mehrdad and I would talk about our families and getting together at the gym, unfortunately it didn't happen soon enough and I regret it deeply. I hope his wife and kids stay in town so that my son could become friends with his kids and I could tell them how special their father was. My whole familes heart (shirley, jamie and nolan) goes out to the entire moussavian family.

If there is one thing that this makes me realize is to cherish those around you and don't hesitate to enjoy life and the people around you in your life.

Around 1996 a high energy, animated, and spirited young guy started playing racquetball at World Gym/Planet Fitness in Trumbull. He had a smile on his face, a hearty laugh, and a boisterous passionate voice. Eventually we played a game, became friends, but I remember most some great laughs! He also showed a compassionate side that spoke fondly of his wife and children and life in general. About a month ago when I saw him running up and down the stairs in between weight lifting I said "you should join some body shows or something...Darn!...." He looked incredible! We shouted across the gym about playing ball again when he left......... I guess someone up there needed him real bad right now. I am so sorry for Christine and the rest of his family that such a fine young man was taken away from us. Thoughts and prayers are with the family.
