Obituary of Fardin Ghadami Darounkolaee

It is with a heavy heart and great sadness to announce the passing of Fardin Ghadami Darounkolaee. Fardin, born on March 21, 1968 in Qaemshahr, Iran has gained his wings on May 13, 2023 at 10:30 AM at the age of 55 in Bridgepoint National Harborside which is located in Washington, D.C. 

Fardin is predeceased by his mother Rooghiye Samimi. He is survived by his father Faramarz Ghadami, his brother, Faribord, his sister Nadia, his wife Sonia Nazarpour and his two daughters Sona and Mona. 

Fardin and his wife immigrated from Iran in 2001 to give his two daughters a chance to live the American Dream. His  children were the light of his life which is why he sacrificed his own life for the sake of theirs. He came at the risk of not knowing anyone or any English. He ended up working two jobs to provide for his family. 

When Fardin walked into the room, you knew it was always going to be a good time. He was the life of the party. It didn’t matter who was going to be there, as long as he was there, everything was complete. He always said “life is too short to be anything but happy.” Fardin had a big heart and was full of life. He was the most selfless person you could ever meet. Fardin made sure everyone else was happy, even at the cost of his own happiness. During the time he was here with us, I am certain he managed to impact everyone around him in the most positive and influential way. 

Fardin will forever be loved and missed by his family and friends around the world. Although he is no longer with us, we will always cherish the memories we shared with him. We may never understand why he was taken from us so soon, but we take comfort in knowing that he is now at peace.  At the expense of our loss, Heaven definitely gained an angel. Rest in peace.

Funeral services will be held on Thursday, May 18th at 9:30 AM at Adams Green Funeral Home located in 721 Elden St, Herndon, Virginia. Burial services will follow accordingly in Chestnut Grove Cemetery located at 831 Dranesville Road, Herndon, Virginia.
