I am so sorry to hear of Kamran's passing. We have interacted through urban forestry circles for many years and I had the greatest respect for him. He will be missed.

I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Abdollahi for our AAAS HBCU Making and Innovation Showcase.  He brought a team to Washington, DC and they were fantastic.  He had the warmest smile when he greeted me, and we would always share a laugh when we bumped into each other throughout the weekend.  Sending prayers of comfort to his family, colleagues, and students.

My deepest sympathies to Kamron’s family.   I had the pleasure of meeting him and other faculty at Southern University when they had started their urban forestry curriculum in the early 1990’s.  The USFS through State and Private Forestry provided support and encouragement for their program and efforts.  His enthusiasm, leadership and professionalism was a major factor in Southern’s success and he will be missed.   I still proudly wear my Southern University tee shirt which I purchased during my visit!  I have enjoyed following Kamron’s and Southern’s successes in SAF and beyond.  



I am so sorry to hear of Kamran’s passing. I got to know him during my year as 2020 SAF HSD Chair. I was so excited that he accepted my suggestion to run for Chair-Elect of HSD. He will be truly missed. May his family be comforted with special memories and also with the impact that he has had on the forestry profession, especially urban forestry. 

I served with Kamran on the National Urban and Community Forestry Advisory Council for several years and was looking forward to reconnecting when we got back to "normal" after Covid.  Like me he was passionate in his advocacy for Urban Forestry education. I so enjoyed our conversations over dinner and around our council meetings. He had such a good sense of humor, was so warm and friendly. I so appreciated his help in educating me about the politics of academia and in helping me advocate for improving Urban Forestry education. I will miss him personally and his presence and expertise in the UF field is a much greater loss. My sincerest condolences to his family, friends , students and colleagues.

Kamran will be missed!  I’m sorry to hear of his passing. 

I was so sorry (and very shocked) to hear of Kamran's passing. I always enjoyed working with Kamran through SAF connections. He was such a stellar colleague: so intelligent, full of enthusiasm and ideas. I also always appreciated his support of his students, which was heartwarming to see. Kamran, you will be greatly missed. May you rest in peace, friend.

I just saw that he had passed and wanted to express my deepest sympathy. I knew Kamran for a number of years working with him through SAF and so enjoyed it! What an intelligent and kind soul!!!

Dr. Kamran Abdollahi will be remembered for his dedication to the Urban Forestry program. He was a kind person who found time to listen to others. His death comes as a terrible shock and he will be greatly missed. May his soul rest in eternal peace.

This is a hard one to take in. You were a very funny, nice and hardworking guy. You provided me with a lot of insight and guidance during my time at Southern. You always said I will do well in my studies. 

August 2021 I will be attending the University of Mississippi working on my Ph.D. In Biology, focused on the Fire Ecology, forest vegetation of the forest floor. I know you would have been over joyed to hear of this news and me. God bless and continue to watch over your family during this difficult time. 

Dr. Abdollahi was forever an inspiration to me.  I have gotten to know him over the years and studied under him. His mentorship and the delight he brought into the classroom, made learning so much more interactive. My family and I have known him dating back to the 90s and are deeply hurt by his untimely passing. May his soul rest in peace and k ow that he will sincerely be missed. 

Kamran will always be remembered for his intellect and his desire to mentor students.  I will cherish the moments we spent together while attending professional meetings and championing  the cause for urban forestry.  You will be sorely missed .  May you rest in eternal peace. 

I am so sorry for your loss. Kamran and I have been friends for a long time. We became instant friends when we first met back in the early 90s at Southern University. He always brightened my day. I will l miss him deeply. My thoughts and prayers are with Kamran and his family.
