"Manny" was Chief of Surgery at Harris Hospital in 1980's where I was a young surgeon in practice. He was an amazing Department Chief who presided over our monthly Surgical Complications Conference. I remember his candid remarks about errors resulting in complications in patients who had been operated on a Harris. He pulled no punches, and you as the operating surgeon, had to endure his remarks in front of your peers. I had the utmost respect for Manny. Lawrence Petta, MD

I worked with dr. Nazarian in Harris hospital in 1975 until 1980 what an amazing human being. I can still see him coming in with his surgical clothes after performing one of the many open heart surgeries. It is a sad loss. Jane Hollywood RN

Your father was an amazing Dr. In the year 1977 I was only 4 and I remember having him as my Dr. who did open heart surgery on me. I have also had the privilege of watching him in my later years as a Surgeon in the hospital I work in. He was loved by so many. Including me and my family .

Dearest Lili, Michael, Rebekah, and Rachel, Words cannot begin to express how sad I am for the loss of your incredible husband and father.  Not only did his brilliant mind and hands touch the lives of so many people, but his kind words and actions did as well.  I will always remember him holding out his hands to me at Trinity Valley School during a parent teacher conference and stating that his hands would be there to help me if I ever needed him.  Two years ago he saved my husband's life with his amazing talent.  I want to let you know that your family is so special to me.  It was a privlige and delight to teach Michael, Rebekah, and Rachel in 3rd grade at TVS.  I will always cherish the memory.  I have loved keeping abreast of their incredible careers.  Please know I am praying for your family during this difficult time.  I hope it gives you each comfort to know how loved your entire family is by so many.  Kneeling in prayer for each of you. Lisa Hall AKA...Ms. Kemp

Thank you for your care and caring.  You will be missed.

Dr. Nazarian, 
I worked with you for many years. You worked so hard! You gave your all to your profession. Thank you for all you did for patients and nurses. Your smile will be missed so much. We will miss you....g

I would like to send my condolences to Dr. Nazarian's family. He did a quadruple bypass on my mother over 15 years ago and saved her life. I will forever be grateful. He is truly an outstanding doctor and will be deeply missed. May his legacy live on.

The world has lost a great Doctor. He was so very trusted and most loved. Treated everyone with such great care. Sincere sympathies to his family and all who learned how great this man was!

Dr. Nazarian was a great surgeon, His personality was great.  He made you feel comfortable and was there for you to answer any questions you might have.  He was my surgeon for both carotids, Open Heart surgery,Mechanical valve replacement, 3 by passes and also  blockage in the leg.  He was soft spoken and had a comforting voice when I needed it.  May God bless his family in this time of sorrow.

Dear Naz, I was so sad to hear of your demise, I was privaledged to work with your patients for several years at Harris, so long ago now. You and your family are in my thoughts and my prayers. Rest in peace dear man.

I am one of the many that Dr. Nazarian saved! I remember when he came into his consulting room of his office and said to me, "You have a very interesting case here".  My reply was "Dr. with your lengthy experience over the past 30 years, I don't think I am encouraged by what you just said".  He then told me why my case was "interesting" and asked his staff to clear his schedule for my surgery.  He was wonderful and explained so I (a layman) could understand what he and I was up against.  He then proceeded to "save my life".  Thank you Doctor and I hope to see you again!  Jim Brunick

We know "Manny" Nazarian not as the world-renowned Doctor but rather as the loving father of our son's best friend in High School. He was a kind and caring husband, a downright humble and down-to-earth individual amid all his accomplishments as a life-saving, competent and compassionate cardiologist. But what impressed us most about Dr. Nazarian was that he's a genuinely good man. He will be sorely missed.

I was privileged enough to work with him and Barbara Martin in surgery when he first came to town.  I will always have many great memories of him.  My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family.

He was one of a kind...such gifted hands and mind! I worked with him in ICU and thru the cath lab.  Thanks to you, his family, who shared him many "off" hours when he would come back in to help someone.  Such a giving man! My deepest sympathies to you all,
M.Hadley, RN

Dr.Nazarian operated on my husband in 1985,implanting aortic and mitral valves.He gave Nat fourteen more healthy years and my family and I will always be grateful for his skills and friendship.My thoughts and prayers go out to his entire family.

I feel blessed to have known and worked with such a great surgeon and man. I also treasure what he would tell me after I transferred to another unit, "Sylvia, you need to come back to CCU and take care of my patients" He truly cared about his patients and was good to the nurses....He was one of a kind.........You will be missed Dr.Nazarian.
My best to your family, Sylvia Branum Austin R.N.

so sorry to hear of your loss,i worked in icu,n and learned so much from dr nazarian, i am so sadbut will remember him always,glennis bradley,retired r,n

After developing a blocked main artery in 2011.  Dr. Nazarian did my bi-pass surgery; which turned out very good. He always treated me with kindness and assurance.  His smile will be remembered.  My husband and I feel very blessed to have known him.

Thanks to Dr. Nazarian for saving the life of my husband in 1992.  Our thoughts and prayer are with you.  May your soul rest in peace. Mr. and Mrs. John Carryer

Not only a great surgeon, but a kind and compassionate person.

i would just like to thank the good doctor fo a 13 year extention &still going on my life with a triple bypass       gil britton azle texas

Thank you for saving my husband ten years ago. You've earned your rest with all the great work you've accomplished while here on earth

Dr Nazarian was a great man and a wonderful colleague to my late father and an inspiring role model to all physicians. I will miss him

I drove my Dad to Harris Hospital in 1989 when he called and told me he was popping nitroglycerian pills like candy but to no avail.  In the emergency room they determined he had arteries 98% blocked and time was critical.  Dr. Nazarian was called in and he did a quadruple bypass.  In his kind bedside manner both before and after the surgery he also relieved our anexiety. My family will be forever grateful for the fine character and skills Dr. Nazarian brought to Fort Worth.  We had another 21 years with Dad after his encounter with this master surgeon.

There are no words to tell family members what Dr. Nazarian meant to our family. Many years ago my Mother-in-law was to have bypass surgery and another Dr. was scheduled for it and due to an emergency Dr. Nazarian was called in to replace him. Naturally our family was concerned since we didn't know anything about Dr. Nazarian at the time. However I asked an RN on the floor " I know you cannot tell me much but is Dr. Nazarian a good doctor?" She said "Step out into the hall a moment" she then pointed down the hall and said " The man in one of those rooms is a cardiologist from another city, flown to Ft. Worth so Dr. Nazarian can perform his heart surgery." Needless to say our concern was alleviated. Then several years later my husband had bypass and then we knew for certain the surgeon we wanted! God Almighty gifted Dr. Nazarian with amazing skills as well as the ability to assure the waiting family he would do everything in his power for the surgery to be a success. Families and the City of Ft. Worth bid farewell to a great man and our family for one will  be praying for his son Michael as he takes over his father's practice and makes his own contribution to the lives of patients.

Dr.Nazarian you will be missed by all that knew you. Thank you for being such a kind man. You made everyone feel so comfortable when we came to see you. 
You explained everything in terms we all understood ( not big medical terms) .
God Bless you Dr.Nazarian
I will miss you 
Jeannie Anderson

We commonly referred to Dr. Nazarian as "the hands of God" - now they are working on together elsewhere. He deserves great reward and rest for all he has done selflessly for us.

Thanks to a wonderful teacher and friend for the many years we spent in ICU north and 5th floor at Harris Hospital. Your skills, expertise and especially your smile will be sadly missed. My condolenses to your family. May you rest in peace.

I just found out yesterday that Dr Nazarian passed away. My thoughts are with the family. He performed surgery on my father and grandfather and I am so thankful to him that the wisdom he had added years to both their lives. I know I speak for my entire family when I say "Thank you more than you know"

We're so sorry about Dr. Nazarian's passing.  He performed a double valve replacement on my wife in 2011 and she's doing great.  We'll always remember his great "bedside manner".  The staff at Harris' ECU had nothing but praise for both his skills and his personality.

My condolences to Dr. Nazarian's family.  Dr. Nazarian did my triple bypass surgery on the 20th of Feb., 1973.  He was a wonderful friend to me and my family.  He also operated on my husband doing a abdominal aneurysm repair then a left leg amputation in 1996 due to no circulation.  We all loved him and recommended him to many of our friends and co-workers at General Dynamics.  He will be missed.  Rest in Peace.  Reda Dinsmore, age 92.

Thank you doesn't seem like enough for someone who saved my life. His kindness will remain with me forever. As he once said to me, " I've literally touched your heart". Yes he did.

Dr Nazarian did two triple by pass operations for me. One in 1986 and another in 2004. If it was not for his skills and the grace of God I would not be here today. I pray that you rejoice in the great person he was and we pray for your comfort. --Claude Allen Eyler

My prayers go out to the Nazarian family.
It was a pleasure to known Dr Nazarian I will always remember his smiling face.

Carla Taylor,  Baylor All Saints

May your memories of the wonderful times you shared with your loved one comfort you and your family, today and always.

My warmest condolences to the Nazarian family.  Dr. Nararian will be greatly missed.
Baylor All Saints

Sharing time on earth with one of the Greats! 35,000 heart surgeries according to papers. It was Dr Nazarian who took my bypass case when other cardiovascular surgeons turned away. I was 48 years old. After all the coma, my intensive care and recovery, I asked him "What now?" He simply said, enjoy life. To this day I have sent him a postcard on every travel thanking him. And here I am with one last card to send.
Just remember, it is the ones that walk towards your trouble and remain at your side that there will be no substitution when they vanish. RIP dear Doc.

Dr. Nazarian did a Triple By Pass on me back in July of 1999 , I have nothing but praise for his excellent work.   Sherman Hall

Dr. Nazarin saved my fathers life and give us ten more years with him. He was truly a gift from God. THANK YOU NAZARIN FAMILY. TERRY UPTON CROWLEY TX.

When I was a new nurse, I was assisting Dr. Nazarian while he was making rounds at the hospital.  He needed some betadine, which a promptly opened and spilled all over his clothes!  We laughed, and we were forever buddies after that!  He taught me so much....prayers to his family.

Dr. Nazarian operated on my Mother Mary Icenhower in 1974. What a great man. He is a wonderful Doctor. Bless his family.

Dr.Manucher "Manny" Nazarian what a gentleman. You sure will be missed. Artist: E L Young

Dr. Nazarian had a significant impact on our family.  He performed surgery on my brother (age 4 ½) in 1975.  In 2009, he operated on my father.  Dr. Nazarian remembered my brother and was able to meet him again as a grown man.   Our family is forever grateful to Dr. Nazarian.

Thank you for saving my life. Your compassion was as extraordinary as your surgical skills. What a difference you made for so many. My thoughts are with your family and Barbara too. Thank you

Wonderful man and Doctor I owe my life to him.
Fred

My condolences to the family of Dr. Nazarian.  He performed surgery on my brother, mother and father and I was the face he met in the waiting room each time.  He was patient, caring and even showed a nice smile when he finished briefing you!  He was such a kind and gentle soul and went above and beyond for my family and I.  What a wonderful man.  He is resting and is at peace. 

Sincerely,
