Younes Nazarian Obituary

The American Society of the University of Haifa community mourns the loss of Younes Nazarian, a kind and beloved friend, selfless leader, and generous philanthropist. Younes, with his family, made many incredible contributions to University of Haifa including the generous donation to renovate and expand our Younes & Soraya Nazarian Library. He was an invaluable member of the University of Haifa's Board of Governors and in 2007 was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Philosophy from University of Haifa in recognition of his commitment to the State of Israel and to the support of Jews across the world. Younes' leadership, support, and kindness has been invaluable.

Younes is renowned for his years of philanthropic work for the community in diverse fields including the arts, health, and higher education, both in America and Israel. We are honored to continue Younes' legacy by delivering transformational higher education in Israel and leveraging the Younes & Soraya Nazarian Library to support educational success.

We extend condolences to his family and to the many people whose lives he touched and inspired. May his memory be a blessing.

From University of Haifa President Ron Robin, Chair of the Board of Governors, Bradley M. Bloom, and ASUH Board Chair, Warren Gleicher

We are saddened for the passing of a Jewish Icon who supported generously the art and culture of Israel, as well
as many other causes. I had opportunity to know him in person by being a close friend to his brother Izak Parviz Nazarian and family for CECI Project. Our deepest sympathy goes to the Nazarian Families.

What i wouldn´t give to have met this great man in person. My deepest sympathy goes to his wife and the entire family. This type of man is who are young people should look up to, not these ridiculous sports figures and actors who pale in comparison to this great man.
Rest with God Younes.
