In place of flowers, Iraj has requested that friends and family members make monetary donations to the Coalition for Pulmonary Fibrosis http://www.firstgiving.com/irajahmadi. Your donations will help researchers better understand this insidious disease and will hopefully result in a cure that can spare loved ones from the grief that the Ahmadi family experienced throughout their father’s disease-ridden journey.

I am so sorry to hear of Mr. Ahmadi’s passing. As Todd’s friend over the last 16 years I had the privilege of witnessing a wonderful family anchored by a great patriarch. Now that Todd and I both have young sons of our own, we can truly appreciate what a blessing and a responsibility it is to be a father. From everything that I have observed over the years, it is clear that Mr. Ahmadi is the pinnacle and the prototype of what a father should be. I hope that our sons will speak so fondly of us and reverently as you did of your father Todd.
The Ahmadi’s have always been a blessing in my life and have been very generous to me throughout the years. When Todd and I were young bucks and I had back surgery with no family in state, they insisted that I stay with them to recover. Mr. and Mrs. Ahmadi always made me feel very comfortable and to this day I cannot eat a pickle or a pomegranate without thinking of Mr. Ahmadi and smiling at the platefuls he would pass on to me.
You all have always been a strong and close family and although Mr. Ahmadi will not be with us in body anymore, his spirit, memory, and legacy will always be with us and a guide for us to follow as a father.
Your friend – Brennan

Dear Sandy, Mike, Todd, Marianna and Lucas, our thoughts are with you and Uncle Iraj. We will miss him. I will never forget that I sat with Uncle Iraj on the patio, drinking a nice whiskey and talking about god and the world.
Dear Iraj, rest in everlasting peace and all the best for your family.

My deepest sympathy and sincere wishes for peace and comfort to Todd and the entire Ahmadi Family during this difficult time. The loss of a parent is devastating. Although I never met Iraj Ahmadi, I know from the way Todd spoke of him that he was a great man and a strong influence on the great man Todd is. He will surely be missed. My heart goes out to you all.

Dear Sandy, Mike, Todd, Marianna and Lucas,
Since our earliest childhood, Iraj and I knew eachother and although there was this long distance between us, there was always a strong binding through all this years.
Since Iraj has passed I feel like I lost a part of me.
We are with you.
Mahin, Babak and Tahere.
