FATEMAH KAZERANI & MOHAMMAD HOSSEIN SAKET
Fatemah (Faye) Kazerani and Mohammad Hossein (Daniel) Saket appeared nothing but grateful and excited about life together after being married in Iran and immigrating to Canada.
Kazerani, a medical manager, and Saket, a mechanical engineer at Denna Homes, lived in North Vancouver, in a condominium that his company built and he had a hand in developing it, according to a friend.
The photos and video clips Kazerani shared to her Instagram account paint a picture of a young couple enthusiastic about new experiences, travel and their immigration journey.
In February 2019, the couple celebrated Valentine’s Day together, after being forced to spend the previous year’s occasion apart because of an incomplete visa process. But Kazerani and Saket were reunited later that year and celebrated with a night out for dinner, as snow fell outside the restaurant.
Kazerani’s Instagram account also offers a collection of beauty tutorials, proverbs and poetry, and words of encouragement for others seeking a new life in Canada. Throughout the spring and summer last year, she shared reflections on life in Canada, meeting new people and building relationships, and the simple joys of North American fast food.
In the short time the couple lived in B.C., they had travelled to Vancouver Island, hiked the Lower Mainland and even drove to visit the Calgary Zoo for a weekend trip, as Kazerani was fond of pandas, a friend said.
In October, Kazerani and Saket dressed as a pirate and a zombie bride for Halloween and the couple in late December celebrated the holidays and Kazerani’s birthday by visiting old friends and family in the Middle East during a three-week trip.
On Wednesday afternoon, at Denna Home’s Compass development, a beautiful framed black-and-white photo of the couple — described as Daniel & Faye Saket — sat on a marble desk in the building’s reception area alongside a book of condolence.
One co-worker had written: “Dear Daniel, I will miss your bright smile from your office every time I pass by. You greeted us with warmth. I will pray for your family.”
