Dr. Amini lived gracefully and courageously through turbulent times, from his earliest memories of the Russian invasion of Iran, to the violent Islamic revolution, and, most recently, the devastation of his city and home by Hurricane Harvey.
He was preceded in death by his mother, Touba Oskui, his brother, Dr. Houshang Amini, and his father, Ali Amini.
He is survived by his wife, Farideh Amini, his sons, Drs. Behrang and Farhang Amini, his daughters-in-law, Sarah Cloots and Cammie-Jo Tipton-Amini, and numerous relatives and friends in Houston and beyond.
There will be a private family burial at Memorial Oaks Cemetery on Monday, February 25 at 9:30 am.
The memorial service will be held at The Omni Houston Hotel Westside (13210 Katy Fwy, Houston, TX 77079) at the Texas Ballroom #7 on Monday, February 25 from 6:00 - 9:00 pm.
In lieu of flowers, the family is asking for donations to The Lung Cancer Research Foundation.
