Nader Nisanian

Mr. Nader Nisanian, 68, of Senoia, Georgia, passed away on June 9, 2026, surrounded by his family. Nader was born on March 21, 1958, in Abadan, Iran - a birthplace he carried with pride his entire life. He was the son of Hooshang Nisanian, who preceded him in death, and Homa Rabani, and brother to Nooshin Salehian. He built his career as an engineer with Yamaha, but anyone who knew him will tell you his real life's work was loving the people around him. And he was, by every account, the kind of person everyone could befriend. Soft-spoken, gentle, and endlessly kind, Nader had a gift for making people feel at home - usually by feeding them, and almost always by making them laugh. His humor was warm and his table was always open. He had a wonderful collection of passions, some practical and some gloriously his own. He loved a good bowl of vanilla ice cream, collected knives, guns, and pens, and was a devoted watcher of world soccer. He also kept one eye on the woods, ever hopeful in his lifelong search for Bigfoot - a quest his family suspects he secretly enjoyed never quite completing as it was his favorite pastime with the grandkids. Above all, family was his whole world. He was a devoted husband and the most doting grandfather to his three little granddaughters, with his first grandson on the way - a grandchild he was overjoyed to be expecting. His daughters will always remember his papa bear mentality from calling to inform them it was raining to the ever present voice in their head reminding them to get gas at 3/4 of a tank because anything less was dire. He is survived by his beloved wife, Azadeh Nisanian; his daughters, Mandana Fruscione and Meetra Nisanian; his mother, Homa Nisanian; his sister, Nooshin Salehian; his three granddaughters, Helena, Lyra, and Avishan; and the grandson he so eagerly awaited. Nader leaves behind a family who adored him and a community that was lucky to have been fed, teased, and loved by him. He will be deeply missed. A visitation service will be held on Sunday, June 14, 2026 from 2 - 4 PM at McKoon Funeral Home & Crematory, 38 Jackson Street, Newnan, GA 30263. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital at https://www.stjude.org/donate. Condolences may also be expressed online at www.mckoon.com.
