Hovsep Sarkis “Joseph” Gregorian

February 9, 1954 - March 18, 2021

Joseph Gregorian, 67, of Clinton, NJ, passed away on March 18, 2021, after a brief but brave battle with illness.

Joe is survived by his wife, Anna; daughters, Alina and Gina; son-in-law, Brad; grandson, Avo; and brothers, Vachik and Robert, and their families.

Joe was born in Tehran, Iran, and moved to New York on his own in 1977, later becoming a naturalized citizen of the U.S. As a driven self-starter, he worked hard to accomplish his dreams, becoming a very successful businessman for many years.

Joe was an ordained minister and evangelist, passionately sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ to nations in the Middle East. Over the past twenty years, he devoted his spare time to reaching, through the internet, Iranians seeking to know Jesus Christ personally. He and his wife, Anna, were part of the revival of Christianity that is taking place in Iran today. He spoke to them in Farsi, his native tongue, and personally led them to Jesus, helping to build groups of house churches.

Many people know Joseph as a kind, wise, intelligent man, with a wonderful heart and a charming, dry sense of humor. He was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather, and a loyal friend to many.

Please accept our deepest condolences Gina. Our hearts grieve with you and we pray for an abundance of God's love and comfort for you and your family.

RIP my friend!

It is with heavy hearts to learn of Joe's passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones at this time. I had the honor and privilege of working with Joe over the last 11 years and consider him a dear friend. Joe was an honest, hard working, caring man, with such a passion for life. Really enjoyed the time we spent together. He will be missed

I had the pleasure of training with Joe at LPL Financial back in December of 2015 in Charlotte NC. He was extremely kind and thoughtful. He asked me if I was interested in going to the Billy Graham library one evening after training had ended. There we shared our faith and experiences. His devotion in spreading the Gospel to the people of Iran surfaced and it instantly made me realize that I was speaking to someone special. His words of encouragement and his strong faith forever changed me. God shared him with the world, and now a gentle soul returns to the heavens. He will be missed. May God provide comfort to his family and may He bless us all.

Joe's light lives on through all the people's lives he touched.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

I am so saddened to learn of Joe's passing. He was always such a gentle man with a wonderful sense of humor and a quiet, steady faith. I know he will be missed by many but he is now out of pain and in his new body with his beloved Savior. We pray for Anna, Alina, and Gina as you grieve his loss. May the Lord wrap His loving arms around you and comfort you and give you peace. God bless you all!

Our hearts are grieving with you and your family, Anna. God is holding Joe in the palm of his hands now, may these thoughts and your strong faith give you comfort. And also knowing our love and and thoughts are fully with you❤️??
