Obituary For Jatinder Singh

Jatinder Singh, 63, passed away on February 29, 2016. Born in Chandigarh, India, Jatinder (aka JT, Pop) immigrated to the United States in 1986 with his wife and three young daughters. He was a long-time resident of Fremont, CA.

Growing up, he was extremely athletic and proudly recounted how he had, at some time or another, broken, and mended, every bone in his body. He started his career in India as an architect designing buildings in Chandigarh, one of India’s largest industrial hubs.

JT was an extremely hard worker. He drove a taxi in Alameda County for 24 years to support his family, and was a selfless provider. He instilled his strong work ethic in all three of his daughters, with two of them practicing medicine, and the third devoted to philanthropy.

Pop was larger than life. He loved telling colorful stories and delighting those around him. He didn’t surround himself with many people, but had a huge impact on those that were lucky enough to be in his circle.

He is survived by his brother, Kulbir Singh, three daughters, Ruby, Jessi, and Preety, and his “boys”: his sons-in-law Tony and David, and Chris. He was preceded in death by his father Dip Singh, his mother Waryam Kaur, and his wife, Satwant Kaur. His ashes will be scattered per his wishes in the places he loved, including the Sutlej river in Punjab to be reunited with his wife and parents.

A viewing and service will be held on Wednesday, March 2nd, from 10:30am-12:00pm at Fremont Memorial Chapel, 3723 Peralta Blvd., Fremont, CA 94536. A witness cremation will follow at 1:00pm at Irvington Memorial Crematory, 41001 Chapel Way, Fremont, CA 94538.

    We have fond memories of the times we shared with JT “Pops”. His legacy is the beautiful, talented, daughters he leaves behind. JT blessed us with his daughter Preety and the love and devotion she has shown to her father and to our family is a testament to the values he instilled in her. We are sad he left this earth too soon. Eternal peace JT With love, Lynne and Costa Tsobanakis
