Add more pictures        Pejvan's Biography : Pejvan was born on June 29th, 1958. He was the last child of Nasser Garroussi and Rezvanieh Sobhi Azar. With his birth, his parents and his three sisters, Shahla, Taraneh and Barge-gol started a happier life. He was six years old when he suddenly lost his father due to a sudden heart attack. Pejvan went to well-known schools in Tehran, including St-Louis and Alborz. He became an architect, graduating from Tehran University art school. Around this time he met Parissa and soon they decided to get married. The fruits of their marriage are their beautiful children, Pegah and Sam. He started to work as an Architect for Tehran Municipality and later he opened his own private engineering company. They decided to migrate to Canada in 1996 and settled down in Ottawa where he started working for the government of Canada. He was too young with lots of plans for the future but unfortunately he left us all behind on Apr 13th, 2006 in a sudden heart attack. He left us so sudden that family and friends are in unforgettable shock. He liked his mother so that one would ask if such a love exist. He loved Parissa, Pegah and Sam so that one would ask if he could survive without them. He treated his sisters so that one would ask if he is the eldest child in the family. His friendship was so that one would ask if this is real. He felt so connected to his birth country so that one would ask why he is in Canada. Our dear Pejvan left us at age 47. He will live in our hearts forever.

Co-workers, Pacific International 66 Slater, Ottawa Ontario Canada Wednesday, April 26, 2006 11:44 AM To The Garroussi Family: It is with great sadness that I recently learned of Pejvan's passing. Pejvan and I came to know each other through work when dealing with the relocation of my organization from one bldg to another here in Ottawa.  Pejvan and I hit it off immediately. I found him to be one of the most cooperative and public servants that I have run across after more than 37 years of service in the Canadian Forces.  He was a pleasure to work with as he made every effort to ensure that we were well looked after during the transition. I am quite sure that this was his true personality and he dealt with everyone in the same fashion. I recall that our budget was small and we needed new office furniture, so Pejvan arranged for he and I to take a walking tour of the downtown Ottawa core, where we visited numerous Project Offices that were shutting down, and in doing so we managed to obtain an enormous amount of furniture that is still in use. His efforts really saved our budget.  Based on this experience when our Military Police Academy was in search of furniture to out fit classrooms I put their staff in contact with Pejvan and low and behold they achieved the same result. The students are still today sitting behind the desks he obtained.  These are but two (2) examples of how Pejvan went the extra mile. On behalf of myself and those in my organization who have benefited from Pejvan's dedication to service for his clients, please accept our deepest condolences.  Paul D. Master Warrant Officer Senior Executive Officer Canadian Forces National Investigation Service Ottawa, Ontario April 27, 2006 My name is Taraneh. I am Pejvan's sister. We went to Canada as soon as we came to know that Pejvan had a heart accident. We accompanied him during his last days and, although he probably couldn't hear us, we assured him of our love and wished him a last nice journey. We appreciate very much that his friends in Iran are planning to organize a gathering for tomorrow. We are very sad for not being able to be present and share our sadness with all of them. Of course, later, when our mother as well as Parissa will a little bit heal and be able to travel to Tehran, we will also come to meet all of you. In the meantime, we forward a text in Persian we prepared for the ceremony of Pejvan in Ottawa. You may need to use it. There could be some errors in the dates. Don't hesitate to correct them. Please let us know in which manner we can be helpful for you tomorrow. Of course, the whole day, we will be spiritually with all of Pejvan's friends. The Persian text can be added to Pejvan's site. With thanks and kind regards. Taraneh G. M. April 27, 2006 It is with great sadness that I learned of Pejvan's passing so young.  I remember his kindness from honarha.  I send my deep condolacenes to his familly and freinds. God bless his Soul. Helen April 28, 2006 I worked with Pejvan as we had a client in common located in a high rise building in downtown Ottawa.  His professionalism, politeness and dedication were truly remarkable.  We also took BOMA courses together to further ourselves in the property management field.  My deepest condolences to his family and friends.
