Obituary for Mehar Singh Saran
In Loving Memory of Mehar Singh Saran
August 15th, 1933 - September 22nd, 2023
With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Mehar Singh Saran, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. He touched our lives in profound ways and leaves behind a legacy that will forever warm our hearts.
Mehar was born in the village of Chupkiti on August 15th, 1933, to late parents Bhagat Singh and Aas Kaur. He was driven by his passion for teaching, which he brought with him from his village. His journey began with a career dedicated to education. In 1966, he embarked on a new chapter in his life by immigrating to Canada. He began his Canadian journey working at the mill. His impeccable work ethic led to him pursuing a remarkable journey that would span decades and continents.
In 1970, Mehar achieved a significant milestone by earning his Bachelor of Education from the University of Calgary. He embraced the role of an educator, teaching math, science, and physics in Alberta until 1979 when he moved to British Columbia, settling in Abbotsford. There, he pursued his love of farming and real estate continuing to make a positive impact in the community.
He is survived by his sister Bachan Kaur Alamwala and daughter Navdeep Kaur Brar and son-in-law Gurmeet Brar. He was also preceded in death by his loving wife, Surjit Kaur Saran and sons Lakhbir and Jasvir Saran. He leaves behind his daughter-in-laws Aneetpal and Harjinder and a host of cherished grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
