Vartan Pilossian Obituary
With profound sadness, we say goodbye to Vartan Pilossian of Hackensack, New Jersey, whose vibrant spirit touched the lives of many. Vartan left this world on March 25, 2026 at the age of 79, leaving a void in the lives of so many people. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.
As we bid farewell to this luminous soul, let his loved ones carry forward the torch of his memory, illuminating the path ahead with the warmth of his love and the brilliance of his spirit. Though Vartan may journey beyond the horizon of our sight, his essence remains woven into the very fabric of our being — a guiding light in the darkness, a beacon of hope in the night.
He is survived by: his sister Clara Kazanjian; his brother-in-law Movses Kazanjian; his nieces and nephews, Maral Kazanjian-Sebelle, Kevin Sebelle, Ara Kazanjian and Lisa Kazanjian; and his great-nieces and great-nephews, Natalia Sebelle, Mia Kazanjian and Carina Sebelle.
