Story

Born in Yerevan

July 14, 1954

 In a land far far away, lies the vibrant kingdom of Yerevan, Armenia, a small peaceful nation of 3 million and filled with magic and battles. There lived a legendary man and knight named Hovik, whose life was marked by extraordinary qualities. Hovik's journey began with the joyous occasion of his son David's birth. The birth of his first child filled him with immense happiness and a sense of purpose. Just a couple of years later, Hovik and his wife Olga made them brave decision to move to Los Angeles, California, in search of a better life for their children.

 

Shortly after their arrival, Hovik and Olga welcomed their second son, Mike, into the world. From the moment Mike could walk, he became Hovik's camping buddy, sharing countless adventures and creating cherished memories together. A few years later, their daughter Tina was born, a true angel who adored her father with a love that words could not describe. Tina would become Hovik's guiding light in his quest for a healthier lifestyle, inspiring him to make positive changes and prolong his own life. Amalya was a true addition to the family as David's lovely bride and she bore Johnny Hovik Menedjyan, continuing the legacy of Hovik Menedjyan. 

 

Hovik's love for his children knew no bounds, and he dedicated himself wholeheartedly to their well-being. He made it a daily ritual to call them, ensuring they felt his unwavering support and care despite the distance. Hovik worked tirelessly to provide a secure and loving environment, shielding his children from fear and uncertainty in both financial and physical matters.

 

Family held a special place in Hovik's heart, and he cherished his close bond with his parents. However, life dealt him several heart-wrenching losses. The passing of his father left an irreplaceable void in his life two decades ago, and more recently, he had to bid farewell to his older brother. But the most devastating blow came with the loss of his oldest son, David. This tragedy left Hovik grappling with immense pain and the challenges of coping with life's hardships.

 

Despite the trials he faced, Hovik's infectious smile and warm personality endeared him to the people of Yerevan. His positive energy and genuine care touched the lives of countless individuals, brightening every room he entered. His kind and compassionate nature left an indelible mark on everyone he encountered, extending his impact far beyond his immediate circle.

 

Hovik's passion for life also extended to his role as a boss. As an inspiring leader, he genuinely cared for the well-being of his employees. Nurturing a work environment where each person felt valued and motivated was of utmost importance to him. Hovik recognized the significance of fostering a positive and supportive workplace, understanding that it not only enhanced productivity but also contributed to the overall happiness and success of his team. Through his uplifting and encouraging spirit, he fostered a sense of camaraderie and shared accomplishment among his colleagues.

 

Hovik was renowned for his hearty appetite and his love for indulging in good food and drink. Those who knew him well often playfully remarked on his enthusiastic enjoyment of these pleasures. Nevertheless, his zest for life enabled him to embrace every experience fully. He believed in savoring the simple joys life had to offer and lived with an unwavering commitment to living life to its utmost potential.

 

As time went on, Hovik's health began to decline, presenting him with numerous challenges. However, he faced each obstacle with unwavering resilience, bolstered by a radiant smile that belied his inner strength. His courage and determination served as an inspiration to those around him, demonstrating the transformative power of a positive attitude even in the face of adversity.

 

When Hovik's earthly journey eventually reached its end, a profound sense of loss reverberated through the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to know him. However, the legacy he left behind was one characterized by love, joy, and a deep passion for life.
