It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of our beloved George Fernandes. After a significant medical episode and a courageous fight in ICU, George passed away peacefully on the morning of 30 September, surrounded by love.

George was a devoted husband and a proud father to their 7 year old son. He will be remembered for his warmth, kindness, and the way he always put family and friends first. His loss is felt deeply by all who knew him.

As per his wishes, George will be making his final journey home to India. Many have asked how they can show their love and support. In lieu of flowers, we invite you to contribute to this fund in George’s memory. All donations will go directly to his wife and son, honouring George in the way he would have wanted — by supporting his family.

No amount is too small, and every gesture of generosity will be a reminder of the love that surrounds them.

George’s passing is also a sobering reminder that life is fragile, and health cannot be taken for granted. I encourage everyone to prioritise regular health checkups and listen to your body. Prevention and early detection truly save lives.

Let’s honour George not only with our generosity, but by taking better care of ourselves and each other.

Thank you for keeping George and his family in your thoughts and prayers, and for helping us honour his memory in this special way.
