John Azerbaev

Our beloved John Azerbaev, age 29, of Asheville, NC, went to be with the 
Lord on Saturday, September 7th, 2019. John was born in Asheville to 
InaraMiasnikov and Al Azerbaev on February 28th, 1990.

He was one of the most generous, caring, and loving people you could 
ever have been blessed to meet. He touched the lives of many people. He 
was dedicated, hard worker, an awesome friend, and the world’s best 
daddy to his four children: Ava and Jayden, Ke’Onney and Ke’ara. He will 
be remembered for his warm smile,  upbeat & happy personality, and 
especially for his love for his children, his family, and his friends.
