Michael's obituary
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Michael Kazanjian on July 19, 2025. Born to Mary Kazanjian on August 30, 1949, Michael led a vibrant and accomplished life that touched many souls.
A self-made man, Michael's intellect and ingenuity paved way for his success in being an electrician while also designing and building machinery. His entrepreneurial spirit led him to establish his own business, allowing him the flexibility to balance between his professional obligations and family time. This aspect of him was as much a testament to his hard work and dedication as it was to his love and commitment for his family.
Michael exuded a pleasant charm that was both magnetic and infectious. He had a quick wit that would often leave rooms filled with laughter, making every interaction with him a memorable one. His knack for organization was unmatched, and his conversations were peppered with insights drawn from his favorite reads, primarily the Scientific American Magazine.
An enthusiast of James Brown's music, Michael found comfort and joy in the iconic tunes that he often played in the backdrop of family gatherings or while working on his designs. His love for animals was evident in the way he cared for all creatures, big and small, offering them the same kindness and compassion he extended to his fellow beings.
Preceded in death by his beloved mother Mary, Michael is survived by his loving brother Jeffrey Kazanjian and his cherished partner, Anne K. Their hearts, along with many others who had the privilege to know him, grieve the loss of such an extraordinary man.
Michael's legacy is one of kindness and generosity. His heartwarming nature, keen intellect, and unwavering love for his family will be remembered by all who knew him. We mourn his passing but celebrate the incredible life he lived. His zest for life, his laughter, and his spirit will continue to live on in our hearts and in our memories. Michael Kazanjian will be profoundly missed by many.
