Moe Allen Ghassami

Moe Allen Ghassami of Siloam Springs, Arkansas, entered into Glory on April 6, 2025, at the Northwest Medical Center in Springdale, Arkansas. Moe was born in Iran on September 14, 1946, and was one of three children. From an early age, his mother recognized his intellectual aptitude and facilitated his acceptance into Oxford University, where he received a degree in mechanical engineering. Oxford was so impressed with Moe that they offered him a full ride scholarship and asked him to stay on after graduation to teach. He opted to go work for NASA, where he was very instrumental in launching the Space Shuttle Columbia. After the fall of the Shah of Iran in 1979, he became a naturalized citizen of the United States. He later met and married the love of his life, Linda Sharon McGee, on December 15, 1985. Throughout his life, Moe was sought after by many corporations for his expertise in engineering and business. He also had a very successful career with Amway, where he practiced his passion for being an entrepreneur! He and Sharon eventually chose to settle in Siloam Springs in 2018, a place where Sharon has family roots. Moe had the great blessing of being born into a Christian family. Moe personally made his own profession of faith as a child and always took his faith very seriously. He strived to be a man of integrity and treated others with great respect, and he had a special soft spot in his heart for women and children. Though he was highly recognized for his intellectual aptitude, he always remained humble and put others at ease. Moe and Sharon attended St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Siloam Springs. In addition to their shared love for Jesus Christ, Moe and Sharon shared a deep sense of patriotism. Sharon shares that throughout all the years of Moe’s international travel, whenever he landed back in the United States, he would drop to the ground and kiss it, demonstrating his deep love for this country! Together, they were also a wealth of knowledge of US history. Moe was preceded in death by his parents and two infant children, whom he is now having the joy of getting to know. He is survived by his devoted wife, Sharon, of the home. The funeral service will be held at St. Mary’s Catholic Church on Thursday, April 10, 2025, at 11 a.m. He will be laid to rest in the Siloam Springs Oak Hill Cemetery.
