Andrew Amini Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jun. 14, 2017.

Andrew Daryoush Amini, passed away at the age of 32 on Saturday June 10, 2017. A memorial service will be held at 10:00 AM, on Friday, June 16, 2017, at Earthman Southwest Chapel, 12555 S. Kirkwood, Stafford and memorial services will be followed by burial service at Morton Cemetery located at 401 N. 2nd street, Richmond, Texas.

Born on February 1, 1985 to Farshid and Rosalinda Amini in the Sharpstown Hospital. Andrew soon after moved to Stafford, TX and attended Stafford High School, and later graduated from the University of Houston with a degree in both Biochemistry and Petroleum Engineering.

Soon after graduating together, he was joined in marriage to Fadya Basharahel, while pursuing a position at Halliburton as a professional Engineer. Due to his talent in teaching, Andrew sought his passion at Houston Community College, where he was eventually promoted to Lead Professor and Program Coordinator for Drafting and Design Engineering Technology Department.
He was also known by students for offering career counseling and options in Drafting & Design. On the side, he often conducted research on 3D printers, and sought to improve his skills and knowledge to offer expert advice as a Design Engineer Contractor.
As much as Andrew strived for excellence in his career, he loved children and had an appetite for BBQ and Cajun food. He enjoyed cooking and spending time with family and wife.

Andrew's legacy will carry on with surviving younger sibling Matthew, father Farshid Amini, and dearly loved Stepmother Rina Rico Amini, wife Fadya Basharahel, uncle, grandmother and aunts.

Andrew,

You were my older brother, and I have always looked-up to you as well as envied you for all your success. It was hard to fill your shoes being the younger one and at times this would cause us to drift. I wish things had been different in recent years, but I have and will always look up to you as inspiration. I promise you will never be forgotten and even though it's painful to think of you every day right now, I will learn to cope and use our memories we had growing up as fuel to push through my darkest hours in life. I love you so much, and I am missing you dearly every day. Please look over me, your responsibilities as the older brother aren't finished yet.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Professor Andrew Amini's family, friends, and wife. It was an honor to have taken classes with him. A man with so much knowledge and willing to sharfe it with the world. He was a thoughtful, kind, loving, intelligent, funny, a caring man, teacher, and husband.

He was a teacher who cared about his students. Always looking out for EVERY single one of us; whether it be with the resume, applying for jobs, questions on a subject, he was a man you could count on. He will always be in our thoughts and prayers. No teacher or man can replace him. MISS YOU PROFESSROR AMINI!

I am so saddened to hear of Andrew's passing. He taught my very first class at HCC for AutoCAD. I remember his kindness and encouragement that we could all succeed, always displaying confidence in our abilities. He offered "real life" good advice about the industry and job seeking. He will be missed.

Andrew,
For 20 years I have called you my friend. Since the 9th/10th grade we started hanging out up until this last Friday. Each and every holiday we spent together late nights. I will never forget the countless nights we had lan parties, and had our middle of the night runs to mc Donald's. I am so happy that I had the chance to know you better than most people could say they did. I wish I didn't have to say goodbye to you. On a weekly basis we talked, or saw each other. This is one of those moments in my life that I just wish it wasn't real. You were a smart guy, very funny, and I could always count on you. You impacted my life and so many others in a positive way. Walking the halls at work, driving past mom and dad's house, or even going to the starbucks near frys. This is hard. We did so much together. I hope you are resting well Prayers for your family.

Sitting here trying to find the right words to say, feels so surreal. You were such a beautiful soul, Andrew. Anyone that ever needed help of any kind, you were always there to selflessly offer it. I don't think you knew just how much you were loved by everyone. I'll never forget the times that Hai and I would poke fun of you for being food comatose every time you ate out with us! You gave so much advice to the girls, and to anyone who really needed it. There is so much to say, but never enough time to say it. That's going to change. We love you, and you will be tremendously missed, cousin.
