Philip Sargunar

Philip Sargunar, lovingly known as Baskar, was born on January 31, 1949, in Nazareth, Tamil Nadu, India, to Charles and Violet Sargunar, and was a cherished brother to Michael Sargunar. He married Suhasini in 1975, and they spent 46 beautiful years together. God has blessed them with three daughters, sons-in-law, and seven grandchildren.

A God-fearing husband, father, and grandfather, Philip always placed Christ at the center of his life. He always found great joy in time spent with loved ones, especially during family vacations. He had a great sense of humor, passion for cooking, and enjoyed playing carrom and card games with family.

Philip had a distinguished 40-year career, where he led with integrity and served as a mentor and guide to many.

Philip lived with his eyes firmly fixed on Jesus. His deep love for God shaped his words, actions, and relationships. His life was marked by steadfast prayer and devotion to God's Word.

Above all, Philip's life was a testament to faith, love, and service. He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered as a faithful servant of God who finished his race well.
