In Loving Memory of Avedis Akelian
June 25, 1956 – May 28, 2025
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Avedis Akelian, a cherished father, devoted grandfather, loving brother, and dear friend to many, who departed this life on May 28, 2025, at the age of 68.
Born on June 25, 1956, Avedis lived a life defined by integrity, compassion, and deep devotion to his family. His warm presence, kind heart, and quiet strength left a lasting impression on everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.
He was a proud and loving father, always offering support and wisdom. As a grandfather, his joy was found in the laughter and love of the younger generations he helped shape. As a brother, Avedis was a steady source of support, loyalty, and love, always putting family first.
Avedis had a gift for making others feel welcome and valued, often with nothing more than a kind smile and a listening ear. He lived humbly but with deep purpose, always seeking to do right by others and lead by example.
Though he is no longer with us, Avedis’s legacy lives on in the hearts of his children, grandchildren, siblings, and all who loved him. The love he gave, the values he instilled, and the memories he created will be cherished forever.
