Gabriel Behjohn Asghary

Gabriel Behjohn Asghary, 79, passed away peacefully on July 6, 2025. A loving father and brother, Gabriel will be remembered for his sudden smile and willingness to lend a hand to anyone who needed it.

He was born on September 14, 1945 in Kermanshah, Iran to parents Yakub Behjohn Asghary and Maroosa Khasholoo Khosrowabadi. Gabriel graduated from the Trade Technical Institute of Iran in 1967, worked for the National Iranian Oil Company as an electrical technician, and subsequently moved to the United States to pursue additional studies.

After moving to Los Angeles from New York in 1977, he met and married Sandra Hubbard in 1980, and had two children, Tiffany Ruhl (Ronald) and Jack Behjohn (Jessica née Rains). He is survived by his children, and his loving sisters Margaret Behjohn Asghary and Dorothy Ciortea (Michael).

Gabriel ventured into the world of small business, and ran the Tiffany’s Catering Company until he retired in 2017. He loved dancing, traveling the California coast, and enjoyed gathering with his friends and family more than anything.
