My condolences to his family and friends. While I had heard of him, I never heard him perform.
Also, for what it’s worth, in Western-Armenian his first name would be transliterated and pronounced as “Garen” (pronounced Gah-ren). “Karen” might appear to be a typo, but in fact it’s the Eastern-Armenian incarnation of that same first name,, and is not pronounced as we would pronounce the female name Karen (it would be pronounced Kah-ren).
