Nizar Jiwani was more than a father, husband and friend. He was someone who “was committed to bringing people of diverse faith backgrounds back together,” say those who knew him best. Jiwani, 45, of Aurora, passed away Nov. 21 after developing both shingles and meningitis after a fall. During surgery, Jiwani’s heart stopped, and doctors were not able to resuscitate him.
“He always talked about people and their common values and was a man committed to service,” said the Rev. Lisa Telomen, of Grace United Methodist Church in Naperville. “I met him a few years ago when we did a 9-11 observance service at Wentz Hall on the North Central College campus. He did the closing prayer where he called all people to be compassionate and to work towards a better future for our children.”
An active volunteer with the Naperville Interfaith Leadership Association, Jiwani’s activities ranged from getting youth involved with planting trees on Earth Day to working in other communities outside Naperville to bring people together.
