Misak Minasyan

Misak Minasyan was born August 11, 1955. By the time he reached his early sixties he and his wife, Hripsime, made their home in North Hollywood, California, where family and the rhythms of everyday life were central to who they were.

Friends and neighbors remembered the Minasyans as people who kept close family ties; on days of remembrance they visited loved ones’ graves together, a quiet practice that reflected deep respect for family memory and tradition. Those visits — simple, steady acts of care — show the sort of ordinary devotion that shaped Misak’s life.

Public records indicate Misak was laid to rest after his death on January 2, 2016. While news coverage around that time focused on the tragic circumstances of the deaths of Misak and his wife, the public details that remain also point to the couple’s bond to family and community in the San Fernando Valley. Cemetery records list his birthdate and place him among those who cared for family legacies in life and in remembrance.

Outside the limited public record, the fuller contours of Misak’s life — the small daily joys, friendships, work, and private acts of care — remain with those who knew him best. This page honors him by holding those verified facts gently and by acknowledging that, beyond headlines, Misak was a person with roots, relationships, and the quiet commitments of family life.

May his memory be a comfort to those who loved him, and may the ordinary kindnesses he lived by continue to be remembered.
