Ali's obituary
Ali Reza Seyed Mosavi Nejad born on December 24, 1959, in Tehran, Iran, passed away April 19, 2022. He resided in Manhattan Beach, CA and was survived by his wife, Sylvie, of 23 years; sons, Anthony (20yo) and Maxim (4yo); brother, Hamid and niece, Shirin. Ali had a beautiful life in which so many of his dreams came true. Sober for over 30 years, he enjoyed 23 years of marriage and 28 years of friendship with his soul mate and wife in which they shared and realized their dreams together. Fortunate to live in beautiful Manhattan Beach for over 22 years in a loving home, Ali and his wife shared a spiritual way of life and raised their children under a shared attachment parenting philosophy. He was the most loving father ever and poured every ounce of his soul into his children. Ali was proud of his home, his children and the businesses that he ran with love and heart. Ali was a consummate giver, a saint, a warrior for good, a protector of the ones he loved, and loyal to the bone.
Although, prior to sobriety, Ali's life was filled with struggle and hardship starting young with a severe learning disability that forced him to avoid the punishment in education in Iran and live a street life at 12 years old. As a person full of heart, integrity and love, he survived that life with grace and made it to the rooms of Alcoholics Anonymous in which he lived a successful life and was very proud of his service to countless people on their road to recovery.
The loss of Ali is a devastation to his family, yet honor him and realize that love never dies. He will be kept alive in our hearts and memories as we walk each day knowing that we were better knowing him, that nothing can ever take those away and that he will always be with us in spirit just as the rock he always was on this earth.
