Mohammad Tabib Obituary
Mohammad Azam Tabib, M.D., formerly of Valparaiso, IN, passed away on March 20, 2017. Dr. Tabib was a devoted and loving husband, father, son, and brother; a respected surgeon; and a loyal mentor and friend. He is survived by his wife of 36 years, Dr. Virginia Tan Tabib of Chicago, Illinois; his three children: Grace Hedyeh Tabib (Geoffrey Reed) of Los Angeles, CA, Daniel Hadi Tabib (Zachary Fox) of Sao Paulo, Brazil, and Dr. Christian Hooman Tabib of New York City, NY; his two grandchildren, Elijah and Talia Reed; his mother, Akram Morid; his brother, Mohammad Arfa Tabib; his four sisters, Aghdas, Shirin, Shadokht, and Dr. Mahasti Tabib; and loving uncles, aunts, nieces, nephews, and cousins. Dr. Tabib was born on March 21, 1949, to Akram Morid and his late father, Dr. Abdol Hadi Tabib in Shushtar, Iran. After completing his medical degree at the University of Tehran, he immigrated to the United States at the age of 26 to pursue a career in medicine. He completed his surgical urology residency at the University of Illinois, Chicago, and his pediatric urology fellowship at Children’s Memorial Hospital, Chicago. It was during his residency when he met his wife of 36 years, an internal medicine resident, Dr. Virginia Tan Tabib. Dr. Tabib spent the next 30 years living in Valparaiso, Indiana, where he served patients throughout Northwest Indiana, including Porter Health Care System and La Porte Hospital, and impacted thousands of lives as a practicing urologist. Dr. Tabib devoted his life to his family and his patients. He enjoyed traveling the world; spending quality time with his family and friends; conversing about international affairs; and doing everything in his power to ensure those around him were happy. A memorial service celebrating Dr. Tabib’s life and legacy will be held at Pierce Brothers Westwood Village Memoria, Los Angeles, CA, on Saturday, April 1, 2017. The viewing will take place from 2:00-3:00 p.m. followed by a memorial service.

I´m just seeing Dr Tabib passed. He was a delightful Dr and human being. I worked for him in LaPorte and was also a patient of his. He will always hold a special place in my heart and will never be forgotten May he rest in peace.

Dr Tabib performed my surgery in 2009. I couldn't have asked for or found a better surgeon or a more compassionate person to treat me.
My surgery went so well that I can't remember it.
But I remember my follow up visits very well.
He always had a warm and caring way of communicating and most importantly, he was a very good listener.
To Dr Tabib's family and friends, please know that my thoughts are with you in your loss.
Sincerely

Dear Virginia, Sorry to hear about your loss of Mohammad. After working for you both, then moving to Fort Wayne 22 yrs ago, I had dropped into the office when visiting the area on a few occasions over the years, but never did reconnect with either of you. For some reason tonight, Mohammad's name suddenly came to mind and I felt prompted to search online, finding this sad news. What I remember most is his great sense of humor and love for you and the children. I pray God's grace will carry you.

Sending my deepest sympathy in the loss of this sweet man. I worked oncology at Porter for many years and then ER. Every time I'd have to get a patient ready for a procedure, he'd ALWAYS thank me for having everything set up and ready. He always loved a good joke or a fun story. His love for his family was evident as he loved to talk about his children and Dr. V. Tabib.
