Khossrow Assadi

Khossrow Assadi, 82, of Denver, Colorado, and formerly of San Rafael, California, passed away from complications of Parkinson's Disease on July 13, 2025, surrounded by loved ones.

Born on October 7, 1942, in Tehran, Iran, Khossrow was a brilliant engineer, lifelong learner, and problem solver who approached both work and life with curiosity and integrity. A graduate of the University of Utah with degrees in electrical engineering, he built a career working on innovative projects.

Khossrow was proud to contribute to projects including the image processor for General Electric's MRI machine, as well as communications, space, and satellite systems for several leading companies, always striving to make a lasting impact through thoughtful design and practical solutions.

Outside of work, he enjoyed spending time with friends and family (particularly his grandchildren) and attended many jazz concerts throughout the years. He was known for his sense of humor, contagious laugh, curiosity, and for taking much longer than anyone else to decide what food to order at a restaurant.

He is survived by his wife Barbara; sons Camron (Liz Rossof), Jordan (Jenny); daughter Lisa Palmer (Andrew); and grandchildren Leo Palmer, Sam Palmer, and Kiana Assadi, who will always remember him as a wonderful and loving father and grandfather.

A celebration of life will be held later. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to The Parkinson's Foundation or The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research.
