Shahin Moghaddam says he wants the world to know how amazing his wife,ShakibaFeghahati, was an "angel," he called her. His son, 10-year-old Rosstin, was "a wonderful treasure."

Both their lives werecut short when a Ukrainian passenger plane crashed near Tehran Wednesday, killing all 176 people on board, 138 of which were connecting to Canada.

"I lost almost [my whole] life," Moghaddam said. "No more future, no more family."

"God took them from me."

Moghaddam's wife and son were two of more than 60 victims with ties to Toronto.

Like Moghaddam, many family members and friends have been speaking to CBC News since the tragedy, sharing both facts and memories of their loved ones.

"I want [people] to know how amazing they were," Moghaddam said in a tearful interview with CBC Toronto on Friday evening. "I am just talking for their honour."

Married for 14 years

Born in March, 1980, Feghahati was 39 years old when she died. The pair had been married for 14 years andmoved to Canada seven years ago.

Feghahatihad a bachelor's degree in economics. When she came to Canada, she enrolled at York Universityto get a certificate in public administration.

"My wife always laughed, always smiled, was always supportive for me," he said. "How precious they were for me."

Rosstin was in Grade 4 at Beynon Fields Public School in Richmond Hill.

Moghaddamsays his son spoke four languages, loved swimming, playing the piano, and was a "taekwondo champion."

"Our amazing, wonderful son, intelligent, super smart," Moghaddamsaid during Friday's interview, before taking a moment to gather his composure.

The trio were living in Nobleton, Ont.,just outside of King City.

Family phone call right before flight

The last timeMoghaddam saw his son was Dec. 10 a day after his 10th birthday when Rosstin andFeghahatileft for Iran.

It was a trip Moghaddam could have been on. In fact,Feghahatiwanted him to come with them to visit family for the holidays.

Moghaddam, however, wanted to stay home and take care of the house and the bills while they were away.

Moghaddam says he spoketo his wife and son just before they boarded the planewhat would turn out to be their last conversation.

"Life for me is done; Ihave no hope, no wishes, nothing left to live for,"he said.

It was the first and last tripFeghahatihad taken since moving to Canada.

Moghaddamsaid he'sholding a gathering at his house on Sunday, and expects about300 people to be there.

After the gathering, he will head on a flight back to Iran to retrieve their bodies to bring his beloveds "back to their home."

"I [will] always blame myself, I couldn't be [there] for my son, for his future," Moghaddamsaid.

Trudeau visited Moghaddamto pay respects

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau visited him Friday afternoon for a private meeting to pay his respects.

Moghaddam saidhe and Trudeau cried together during their hour-long visit.

"Such a great honour, Shakibaand Rosstin are going to be proud of that."

A day after speaking to Moghaddam,Trudeau addressed the public on Saturday followingthe Iranian government's announcement that it "unintentionally" shot down the jetliner.

Trudeau said he is both "outraged" and "furious" over the incident and expects full co-operation from Iranian authorities in investigating the circumstances that led to the crash.

"We need full clarity on how such a horrific tragedy could have occurred," Trudeau said at a press conference on Saturday. "Families are seeking justice and accountability and they deserve closure."

'I don't know how to thank them'

Meanwhile,Moghaddamis still coping with the immense adjustment of having to live without his wife and son.

Despite his loss, Moghaddamsays he's thankful for the friends and family that haven't let him be alone.

"I don't know how to thank them," he said, adding that he hopes he never has to return the same favour.

"I don't want to do the same thing for them, I wish them to be with their family always."

But he says the overwhelming support he has received is thanks to his wife, who"gave her love to everyone."

His tragedy, he says, is something he wouldn't wish upon anyone.

"I don't know what to do, how to start again."
