I have known Karen for over 14 years but it always seemed as if I have known him all my life. He had an incredible ability to befriend a stranger and become that person's lifelong friend. I will never forget the cold winter snowstormy night when Karen and his family and friends pulled at my driveway. He drove from LA to Utah all night to get up on ski slopes in Park City. I had never met him before that night. A mutual friend had asked to host Karen and his family, who were to visit Utah for the first time. The minute he walked in and started laughing, it felt like I have known him since my first grade. Ten years later, we together jumped off the plain in skydiving over Moab Utah in celebration of our 50th birthdays. I haven't known anyone who had such passion for life like Karen Vartanyan did. He loved his family unconditionally and took great pride in his children's accomplishments in life. He loved his wife Natasha with admiration for her wisdom and incredible artistic talent, which he greatly inspired and encouraged. May he rest in Peace and May His Memory live Forever! Farewell, my friend....

We had only met Garen a few times, but he left a lasting impact on us. He was so polished and passionate when he spoke, you couldn't help but want to be closer to this fine gentlemen. He was so kind, generous, and welcoming to all of Viral's family. He was the life of the party. And you could see the love he had for his family, especially his beloved Elina! It was an honor to meet him, to have exchanged hugs with him, and to be influenced by him.
He has left this earthly world too soon. And while his growing family will not get the chance to meet him in person, his spirit and influence lives on forever.
