Myron Konjoyan
1931-2018

Myron Seamone Konjoyan, a 55-year resident of Moraga, passed on Sept. 13, 2018 after a short illness. Myron was born May 7, 1931 in Oakland and was raised in Glendale, California. Nicknamed "Rocky," he was a basketball star at Hoover High School and attended Glendale College. He served in the U.S. Marine Corps during the Korean War. After his discharge, he married Arax Tulanian in 1955, and would go on to found two successful businesses: The Rheem Patio in Moraga and later Konjoyan's Oriental Rugs in Lafayette.
Myron was an active member of the Armenian Triple X Fraternity, in which he held leadership positions in his chapter, and was a faithful member of St. Vartan's Apostolic Church in Oakland and former chairman of its trustees.
He was a passionate USC football fan and never missed a televised game. But his number-one focus was always his family, which, during his illness, he called his "shots of penicillin."
He is missed by his wife Arax, sons Jon and David, daughter Nancy Kurkjian, daughter-in-law Pamela Madieros, son-in-law Rick Kurkjian, grandchildren, Karly and Adam Kurkjian and brother, Norman Konjoyan.
Though Myron will be greatly missed, he now has the best seat in the house for every USC game.
