Samuel P. Mall
January 29, 1941 ~ May 22, 2015
Well known Washingtonian, Samuel Parvez Mall entered into eternal rest on May 22, 2015. Born January 29, 1941 in Shorkot, Pakistan, Mr. Mall was the son of an Anglican Priest and the youngest of four children. He was a visionary and a humanitarian and devoted his life to global peace missions. He earned an Honors Masters of Art in (British) English Literature in Pakistan, and was trained as a media officer at the British Broadcasting Company (BBC) in England. Mr. Mall was a senior government officer in Pakistan before immigrating to the United States in 1984.
He was one of the pioneers of Pakistan Television, where he enjoyed a nearly twenty-year-long illustrious career. He produced and directed many award winning shows and documentaries for domestic and international audiences. Along with his government career, he also served in leadership positions for several faith-based and community organizations.
In Washington, his home for thirty one years, Mr. Mall worked as Director of Communications for the Prison Fellowship Ministry along with founder Mr. Charles Colson, former special counsel to President Nixon. But needing more flexibility than a corporate career allowed, Mr. Mall then started a thriving developer and contracting company which he owned and operated for over thirty years. His profitable business helped fund the non-profit humanitarian organizations he launched to represent and advance the interests of Pakistani Christians, and to promote global inter-faith harmony.
Mr. Mall had traveled to Lahore, Pakistan in May 2015, to develop economic initiatives for impoverished communities. While there, he passed away doing what he loved best serving people. Over the course of his career and for his lifelong service to humanity around the world, he received many awards and accolades from U.S. and foreign governments, faith-based and community organizations.
He is survived by his wife and companion of nearly sixty years, Rima Mall, their four children and six grandchildren, all of whom reside in the Washington Metro Area. He is also survived by an older brother in Pakistan, an older sister in Colorado, and countless people around the world who will remember Mr. Mall as their friend, mentor, guide and spiritual father.
