Inna illahi wa inna ilayhi rajioon

It is with deep sadness and heartbreak, we announce the passing of Dr. Amer Safadi in Morgan Hill, California.

Amer was born in Damascus, Syria in 1957. He first studied dentistry at Damascus University in Syria.

He came to America in 1979 and received his dental degree from Tufts University in Boston, Massachusetts in 1985, and went on to build a successful dental practice in San Jose, California. He is remembered as a storyteller, a loving man of many talents, and a hobbyist who had a passion for fishing, hunting, and scuba diving.
