“A giant among men”
This is how Daddy was described on the day of his funeral. Daddy who was ailing with MND passed away peacefully on the evening of Saturday 15th September 2018 in the company of his loved ones-immediate family members and close friends of the family.
As such this post is dedicated to celebrating the life of my Dad, the late Mr. Ramchit Ramesh Thomas.
He was a man of selfless action who loved his family, loved life, dedicated himself to everything he committed himself to, loved his community and lived according to the values and teachings of Sanatan Dharma. He was one who lived by example and taught us so much for which we would forever be grateful. He always supported us, encouraged us to be our best and he was always a man of action.
In recent times he was acknowledged by many as being responsible for getting electricity for the village of Coromandel where he lived. Many would recognize him as the President of the Coromandel Shiv Mandir (SDMS Branch 370) for just over 19 ½ years and as an Executive Member of the South Western Association of Mandirs Incorporated (SWAHMI).
When he received his diagnosis Daddy fought a brave fight and always found the time to remind us and encourage us to be the best we can be. More so he remained positive and gave everyone encouragement to stay strong. He would make those around him laugh and he was still always willing to help (as he would have always done before).
From the day of his diagnosis to his very last day Daddy was surrounded by a steady stream of visitors in the form of concerned family and friends. To all who have supported us in these past years we say thank you immensely. Thank you for showering Daddy with your love, your support and your caring.
Memories of Daddy (the late Ramesh Ramchit Thomas) will always be with us and all who knew him. All he taught us and told us will guide us forward. Our comfort is that now Daddy is at peace and there is no more pain and suffering.
Gone but never to be forgotten- the late Ramchit Ramesh Thomas, son of the late Sahadeo Thomas and Agnes Thomas who will always be loving remembered and missed by his wife Doris Thomas, children Rachael, Ria and Ricky, grandson Richie-Lee, son-in-law Shiva, daughter-in-law Leci, brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, extended family members and friends.
