Fazlollah Loghmanee M.D.

Dr. Fazlollah Loghmanee ascended to the kingdom above early in the morning surrounded by his loving family on

February 9th, 2022. He was 82 years of age.

He is survived by his loving wife Shoorangiz Samandari Loghmanee; their three children, Donna Feldman and her husband Matthew, Darius Loghmanee and his wife Chelsea, Cyrus Loghmanee and his wife Jessica; and nine grandchildren.

Dr. Loghmanee was born in Tehran, Iran and immigrated to the United States of America in 1970 where he stayed for the remainder of his life. His Baha’i Faith inspired him to seize every opportunity to serve those with whom he came into contact.

Most notably he worked for justice as a forensic pathologist, shaped the future of medicine through the education

of thousands of medical students, residents and fellows, and provided a unique and radiant example of what it

means to truly love humanity.

To those who were blessed to meet him he was a constant source of support and encouragement, and he never missed an opportunity to welcome more people into an astoundingly wide and diverse circle of intimate friends from all walks of life and backgrounds.

The hospitality he and his wife showed their guests was legendary. One such guest was moved to recount the experience to friends while out to dinner at a restaurant in Chicago. Half way through the story a person from another table interrupted, asking “I’m sorry, are you talking about a dinner with the Loghmanee family? I was just there last week!”

Among Dr. Loghmanee’s favorite conversation topics were Persian poetry, how to increase both love and justice in the world, marriage and children, and the importance of pursuing education. The joy he felt when he found someone willing to explore these ideas with him was clearly manifest in the excitement and contentment that beamed from his smiling face.

We were grateful to have known him. He will be sorely missed.
