Noshad Alikhani

Noshad was a deeply beloved husband, father, brother, uncle, and friend. To know Noshad was to love him. He carried a warmth, kindness, and gentleness that touched everyone around him, and he will be profoundly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

In 1977, Noshad immigrated to the United States from Iran with dreams of building a better life for his family. From humble beginnings, he worked tirelessly to create a beautiful life in America for his wife and two children, while never wavering in his love and support for his family in Iran. He remained deeply devoted to his roots and was cherished dearly by his loved ones both in America and Iran, where he was affectionately regarded as the “Shah Shamshad,” the strong and noble patriarch of the family.

Noshad earned his Master’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering from Southern Polytechnic State University and went on to become a successful entrepreneur, owning several businesses throughout his life. He was admired not only for his intelligence and work ethic, but also for the integrity, humility, and generosity with which he lived his life.

Above all, Noshad was an exceptional human being. He was endlessly grateful, selfless, caring, and devoted to those he loved. He never hesitated to help others and never wavered in his commitment to caring for his family, no matter the circumstance.

Noshad is survived by his loving wife, Nahid; his children, Narcis and Navid; and his cherished extended family in Iran and the United States.

His love, strength, sacrifice, and gentle spirit will live on forever in the hearts of those who loved him.
