It is with great sadness and heartbreak that we announce the passing of our beloved son and brother, Mojtaba Pakzad, known affectionately to family and friends as Mo.
He found his peace on October 31. 2025
Born in Vienna, Austria, Mo completed his secondary education at Lakefield College School and graduated from McGill University with a Bachelor of Commerce. He later pursued a career in finance, where he was admired for his dedication and professionalism.
Mo had a lifelong passion for sports, especially soccer, winning numerous trophies during his school years and later within his community. He was also an enthusiastic participant in charitable runs, including the RBC Run for Kids. Known for his kindness, generosity, and loving spirit, Mo brought warmth and laughter to all who knew him.
He is survived by his loving parents, Khosrow Pakzad and Nasrin Helmi Asl, and his siblings: Mehdi Pakzad (Maxine R. Pye), Touba Pakzad, Mohammad Pakzad, and Majid Pakzad. Mo was the youngest of five, and his memory will forever remain a cherished part of our family.
