Dariush Youssefi's Obituary
It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Dariush Youssefi on July 15, 2022,
while playing bridge – one of his favorite pastimes. He was born in Germany and moved to
San Francisco in 1957.
Dariush is survived by the love of his life - his wife of 56 years, Helga; daughter, Mitra;
granddaughter, Anika; grandsons, Niels and Marnix; brothers Cyrus and Kourosh. Family
was very important to Dariush – he was an amazing husband, father, grandfather, brother,
uncle, cousin and was the “elder” of the family - he was always watching out for everyone
else and helping in any way he could.
He loved playing bridge (he was a Gold Master), taking cruises with his wife and his
daughter and her family, and enjoying life.
There will be a service on August 13, 2022 at 12 noon at the Chapel at Skylawn Cemetery
in San Mateo. It will be followed by a reception, including lunch, in the Vista Room at
Skylawn at 1:00 p.m.
