Var was a beloved father, grandfather, neighborhood legend, friend, artist, and colleague. He touched countless lives in our community through his humor, honesty, creativity, and unmistakable presence. Var was a force. He had a smile that lit up a room, and he never hesitated to speak his mind — something everyone who knew him will remember.

Var passed away on Monday after a brief illness, and his loss is devastating to all who loved him. We are raising funds to help his family cover funeral expenses and to ensure that the celebration of Var’s life is fully accessible to the many friends and loved ones who want to gather to honor him. We want to make sure that everyone, regardless of ability or circumstance, can come together in a welcoming space to share memories and pay tribute to Var’s remarkable life.

Your support will help create a meaningful farewell where everyone who loved Var can come together, share stories, laugh, grieve, and celebrate the remarkable person he was. Thank you for helping us honor Var’s life and legacy. Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a difference for Var’s family and all who wish to remember him.
