Eldar Aliev

Our beloved father and grandfather, Eldar Aliev, of Lexington, Massachusetts formerly of Baku, Azerbaijan, passed away at age 69 on November 18, 2023, surrounded by family and friends after a battle with cancer. We lost a dear and magnificent man. He had achieved a PhD in Chemistry and with his natural teaching talent, could explain complex chemistry concepts to students with the ease of a simple fairytale. To provide for his family in tough economic circumstances amidst the dissolution of the Soviet Union, he went on to earn a Master’s degree in accounting and audit which he loved and successfully applied for decades. His relentless curiosity and insatiable thirst for knowledge led him to study a myriad of books on topics ranging from practical electronics to the world’s religions and history.  His encyclopedic knowledge and analytics made him a fascinating companion, a source of wisdom and a desired yet humble mentor for many.  Eldar was a devoted and caring father and grandfather as well as a most generous and supportive friend. His abundant kindness and selflessness left people in awe and he will be utterly missed.

We will gather on Sunday, November 26, between 2:00 and 4:00 PM at 30 Lillian Road in Lexington to celebrate Eldar’s life, share our favorite memories and honor his great legacy.  All are welcome.
