On Thursday early morning, September 3 2020, Ziaberiem Shariff, loving father, grandfather and brother passed away at the age of 77. Zia, or Baboo as he was know by his grandchildren, was born in Tehran Iran on March 25th in 1943. He moved to California after marring his wife and began his career as an electronic engineer. He had his two daughters, Neda and Negar. Baboo loved spending time with his 5 grandchildren: Arya, Afsheen, Shaheen, Sophie and Brady. After retiring in 2015, he spent the majority of his time traveling between Orlando and Seattle visiting the homes of his two daughters and son in law's, Ata and Sean. This was the golden time that his grandchildren had with him, playing board games, soccer and playing mini-golf (which he always managed to win). He made memories with them going to Disney World, Universal and to Sounders soccer games. He had a wonderful heart, a glowing smile and had the ability to fix anything!!! Baboo was a soft spoken man and had a way to warm your heart. He was loved by everyone around him. He will be missed by family and friends. May he rest in peace with his beloved mother, father, sister and brother. He is survived by his daughters, grandchildren, son in laws, four brothers and two sisters. Life has more to it than death, this is not the end for you Baboo, you will continue living in our hearts and around us. We love you dearly!!
