Rest In Peace, Simi Dabah. His legacy will carry on. His vision, kindness and generosity will continue to make an impact.
May 4, 1927 â May 11, 2026
Our heartfelt condolences go out to the Dabah family, friends, and all whose lives were touched by Simiâs remarkable spirit and generosity.
Simi was more than an artist, he was a visionary, humanitarian, and beloved desert icon whose monumental steel sculptures became part of the cultural landscape of the Morongo Basin and beyond. For more than 50 years, he transformed salvaged industrial scrap into powerful works of art that inspired wonder, creativity, and community. (simidabahsculptures.comďżź)
Through the Simi Dabah Sculpture Foundation, his legacy extended far beyond art. His sculptures were donated to parks, colleges, nonprofits, and public spaces, while helping raise funds and awareness for countless community organizations throughout the desert region. (simidabahsculptures.comďżź)
His sculpture garden in Joshua Tree stands as a lasting testament to a life dedicated to creativity, generosity, and giving back.
Thank you, Simi, for enriching our desert community and inspiring generations through your art and kindness. Your legacy will live on in steel, in spirit, and in the hearts of all who knew you. May his memory forever be a blessing.
