In Loving Memory of Krikor Arslanian

With profound sadness and deep love, we announce the passing of Krikor Arslanian, who passed away on Thursday, August 13, 2026, at the age of 60.

Krikor was born on January 4, 1966, in Beirut, Lebanon, to his loving parents, Haroutioun Arslanian and the late Manoushag Hindoian Arslanian (1943–1998), whom he carried loving memories throughout his life.

He shared a beautiful life with his beloved wife, Jena Vie Arslanian, who was not only his wife, but also his partner, best friend, companion, and the love of his life. Together, they built a family filled with love, laughter, and countless treasured memories.

Survived by his children, Zaven Arslanian, and daughter-in-law, Kelsey Arslanian, daughter, Olivia Arslanian, his brother, Aram Arslanian, sister-in-law, Carie Arslanian, his sister, Liza Nash, his brother-in-law, David Nash, along with his extended family and dear friends.

Krikor found joy in the simple things that brought people together. He loved to cook, often expressing his love through the meals he prepared. For Krikor, food was more than a meal—it was a way to gather, connect, and create memories.

Krikor loved to run, embracing the challenge, determination, and freedom that came with every mile. Running reflected much of who he was: persistent, disciplined, and willing to push himself toward the next goal.

Krikor was a retired Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Air Traffic Controller, a career in which he took immense pride. He dedicated many years to the demanding responsibility of helping guide and protect the skies, approaching his work with focus, discipline, and unwavering commitment. He was proud of the career he built and the responsibility entrusted to him, and his dedication reflected the care and excellence he brought to everything he did.

Though his life was taken far too soon, the love he gave, the memories he created, and the impact he made will never be forgotten. His presence may no longer be beside those who loved him, but his love will continue to live on through his family and in the countless memories they carry forward.

Krikor will be deeply missed, forever loved, and always remembered.
