Shahab Terrance Cella born September 28, 1967 dedicated his life to his family, his career, and the martial arts community.

Shahab was an ambitious and driven warrior of life. At the age of nineteen, he was the youngest miscellaneous technician in the HVAC field. At the age of twenty-two, he built an HVAC business from the ground up with his loving wife, Alicia, by his side. At the age of thirty-three, he began creating a family with his beautiful wife.  He has been reunited with his first baby girl who he plays with in Heaven while his two other children got the privilege of playing with him until his last day on earth.

At the age of forty-three, Shahab was inducted into the Hall of Fame for his presence and knowledge as a Grand Master of Kung-fu. Shahab was a great man of many accomplishments. Shahab was a pioneer of knowledge and changes that brought life to his beautiful family and the Richmond Hill community.

One of Shahab's greatest contributions to his beloved home, Richmond Hill, Georgia, was being a teacher to many of the young, hardworking individuals in the community. Shahab used his business, Alliance Mechanical Systems, and his martial arts to teach individuals, including his son and daughter, how to be hardworking and kind humans. Shahab Cella was even a professor of heating, air conditioning, and mechanical engineering at Fortis College in South Carolina at one point in his career.

Through it all, Shahab made time to enjoy his favorite things about Georgia including the bright blue skies and clear waters for fishing. Shahab also enjoyed listening to his music on his land and spending time working on his fish tank.

The pride and joy of Shahab's life was those who he is survived by: his wife, Alicia, his daughter, Chloe, and his son, Timothy. Shahab gave everything he had to his wife and children. Shahab will be dearly missed in this realm but we refuse to say goodbye to such a wonderful father and husband because he will truly be with us always.

All portions of the service will take place at Richmond Hill Funeral Home. The wake will take place at 10am on Thursday, November 16 and the funeral service will begin at 11am.

We invite all those who were impacted by Shahab's ever-present love to celebrate his life with his family.
