In the old Persian stories, the Tree of Life carried a thousand seeds,
each one a future, each one a possibility.

He was such a tree.

A mind lit by curiosity,
a scientist whose thoughts branched toward every unknown.
Full of quiet brilliance and unseen ache.

Now his roots live on in those who loved him,
in his child, in his partner,
in the hearts of his parents and his sister
who carry his light forward in their own ways.
