I extend my deepest condolences on the sad and sudden passing of Mor Athanasius Yohan I, also known as K.P Yohannan, a remarkable philanthropist and educator known worldwide. His dedication to building educational institutions globally leaves a lasting legacy of hope and opportunity.
I recall my visit to his Dallas office in 2004, where I had the privilege of addressing his staff and sharing a meal graciously hosted by him and his wife. Their commitment to serving others, regardless of background, is truly inspiring.
Learning of his tragic accident in Dallas from my friend Most Rt. Rev. Dr. Joseph D’Souza, Archbishop of Good Shepherd Churches of India, was deeply shocking.
May his legacy of compassion and service live on, and may God bless the institutions he worked tirelessly to establish. Sending thoughts of comfort and strength during this difficult time.
