In Loving Memory of Mahesh Ram

With profound sadness, we share the passing of Mahesh Ram—a devoted father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and cherished friend. Mahesh’s life was a testament to kindness and joy, as he touched the hearts of everyone he encountered.

A source of unwavering warmth, he was always ready with a listening ear and a compassionate heart. His love for the outdoors and passion for cars were only surpassed by his deep love for his children and his beloved grandson.

Mahesh is lovingly remembered by his children, Victor Ram and Stephanie Ram, his daughter-in-law Cindy Ram, and his cherished grandson, Dominic Leon Ram. He is also survived by his siblings Mayee, Jairam, Chrishna, Bhola, and Kamla, as well as numerous nieces, nephews, extended family, and a close-knit community of friends who will continue to honor his legacy through kindness and love.

We will be celebrating the life of Mahesh at Ajax Crematorium and Visitation Center. Visitation will take place on Friday, January 31st, 2025, from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM, followed by funeral services on Saturday, February 1st, 2025, from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM. The family warmly welcomes everyone to a gathering at our Pickering residence afterward. If you need the address, please contact Cindy at 905-409-7331.

Rest in peace, Daddy and our beloved Mahesh. Your love and spirit will live on in our hearts forever.
