Rastin Nezhat, beloved husband, father, brother, grandfather, and uncle as well as a friend and mentor to many, joined the Heavens at his Brookhaven home in the early morning of October 16, 2017 peacefully in his sleep. Rastin was born January 16, 1934 in Shahreza, Iran becoming a professor of psychology. After moving to the US with his family in the early 1980’s, he devoted himself to supporting and mentoring them throughout their lives and careers. Rastin had the heart of a poet, greatly enjoying Persian poetry and music. He treasured his time gardening, while always planning his next excursion traveling throughout the world. Mostly, he loved his moments with his family and they with him. He is deeply loved and will be sorely missed. He is survived by his wife, Danesh, younger brothers Camran, Ali, Farr, and Ceana, daughters Afsaneh, Azadeh, and Afrouze, grandchildren Payman, Amir, Atlas, Mira and Apollo and nephews. The family will receive visitors Saturday, October 21, 2017 at 12:30pm in Sandy Springs, GA (H.M. Patterson & Son-Arlington Chapel) followed by the memorial service at 1:30pm and graveside service (Arlington Memorial Park) at 2:30pm.
