Obituary: “Thiru” Nellinathan Murugananthan of Fremont, CA, and Araly, Sri Lanka.


Eulogy from Tamil Diaspora News
Thiru was a quiet and always smiling person. He had a great sense of humor, often cracking jokes and bringing laughter to those around him. He loved spending weekends with his friend in Reno, Nevada, enjoying fun and relaxation. One of his favorite activities was riding through the snowy mountains of Lake Tahoe.

Thiru was also a passionate tennis player, always eager to partner with friends for a game. A dedicated and hardworking individual, he advanced his high-tech skills to an incredible level during his time.

We deeply miss his jokes, his warm smile, and the happiness he spread. The Tamil Diaspora wishes him eternal peace—we all miss him dearly.
