Parviz Vessali

Parviz Vessali, 78, of College Station, passed away on Monday May 10, 2021 at CHI St. Joseph’s Hospital in Bryan, Texas. A Celebration of Life will be held at Callaway-Jones Funeral and Cremation Centers Saturday May 15 at 2:00 p.m. followed by a reception at 3:00 p.m.

Parviz was born on September 14, 1942 in Iran to Taghi and Safi Vessali. He was the oldest of three boys. He studied architecture in Florence, Italy where he met the love of his life, Chantal. Together, they immigrated to the United States in 1967 to pursue the American dream.

Throughout the years Parviz’s professional interests were related to anything that touched land, construction, or design. He practiced architecture and ran a business building scale models in Houston. He designed nationwide office spaces for a Wall Street firm in NY and ran a construction company. He then spent over 28 years as a Real Estate Broker and investor in College Station/Bryan.

Parviz was proud to be an American and a Texan. He could often be found at City Hall Council meetings championing property rights before Council or working with staff on behalf of clients. He spent time and effort recruiting and supporting the next generation of conservative political candidates and he tirelessly encouraged his clients and fellow business community members to participate in the political process.

Parviz was devoted to his wife Chantal and daughter Elianor. As a family, they enjoyed many trips and adventures across Europe and the Middle East. Parviz was especially delighted when his daughter Elianor finally returned to College Station to join him in running their family real estate business.

He was preceded in death by his brother Kambiz and his parents Mr. Taghi Vessali and Mrs. Safi Modaressi Rohani.

He is survived by his wife Chantal and his daughter Elianor, of College Station; brother Bijan and wife Fahimeh, of Iran; uncle Majid and his wife Ingrid, of Austria.
