Ramin Malakooti (57) passed away in his home on June 10, 2019 after a long-term battle with Progressive Multiple Sclerosis.  Ramin has resided in Leesburg, Virginia with his wife and two children since May 2011.

Ramin was born in Tehran, Iran on April 15, 1962.  He opened his own electronics store in Tehran when he was eighteen years old.  Due to religious persecution he immigrated to the United States in 1985.  Ramin was proud to become a naturalized citizen of the United States in 1993.

He attended Northern Virginia Community College where he earned an Associate's degree in electronics.  Ramin started his own Audio and Video business in Herndon, Virginia in 1992 where he enjoyed serving his clients with his expertise in car stereos, mobile video and home theater design.  He was happy to be a job creator and employer.  He took his responsibilities as a small business owner seriously.

Ramin was a self-taught piano player, a sports car enthusiast, loved bike riding, camping and nature hikes.  He was a dynamic and energetic man who truly loved his business and interacting with his clients.  Sadly, Ramin was diagnosed with Progressive MS in May 2009.

Ramin is survived by his wife of almost 24 years, Denise Malakooti, son, Maximilian Malakooti, and daughter, Sasha Malakooti.  Ramin is also survived by his brothers; Bob Malakooti (Niloofar), Behzad Malakooti (Lily), Behnam Malakooti (Mina); sister, Ferreshteh, and his nephews and nieces.

Ramin was a devoted husband and father.  He was loved by everyone who knew him.  Ramin will continue to be an inspiration to his family and many friends because of his great love and positive outlook on life.
