Kuberan was a big part of my childhood. Especially in my teens with Kubba trying out Juddo, finishing the food, breaking papaw trees and not to forget flying boonga kites. For me to write memories would be impossible as I would not have enough time or space to do so.

He was my brother, a part of my everyday life, in and out of my house etc. Up to date I am a happy human being thanks to Kubba being in my life.

All I can say is growing up without a Kubba in my life would have never been the same. I am going to miss him like crazy.

Love you Kubba always and forever.

Dear Tiyani

Our heartfelt condolences to you and the family on the untimely loss of Kuberan. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time. May all the beautiful memories you shared give you peace and comfort.

Tiyani, Dishan and Shihan,

I am a firm believer of what I read many moons ago which I still remember that every life is created equal but how it is lived for others that makes one different and makes the person unique.

Don’t know if these were the exact words but I always equate the saying “living for others” is a mantra that Kuberan taught and exercised every day.

I remember Kuberan tackling a difficult passenger at the airport and calming the situation. I marveled at the simplicity and the uniqueness of this great person. To make a connection with another person be it with humour, courage or strength is a quality to always be admired.

Dear Tiyani, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May you forever enjoy the wonderful memories you made with Kuberan.

Dear Tiyani, my sincere condolences to you and your family. May your precious memories bring you comfort.

My dear friend Tiyani & family,

Please accept my deepest condolences to you & your family. Hearing all the stories we have shared over the years I feel like I knew your husband. Sorry many great memories you have. Wishing you strength and comfort through this difficult time. XO

Tiyani, so deeply sorry for your loss, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I have procrastinated in writing a few words, I could not accept the reality that Kubba is no longer with us. Never did I think I would ever be in this situation. .

I have to had to reflect on a few great quotes to draw inspiration to pen a few words about my very close and dear friend Kubba. We have as a family enjoyed the pleasure of having known Kubba and whilst we now know he is no longer with us on this earth his greatest moments & memories will forever survive.

Friendship transcends death. Memories made will never be forgotten and created a lasting impression on each and everyone of us that he has left behind. I know we have all become better people for having such a wonderful friend.

Lastly. I would like to quote from Ernest Hemingway.

"Saying goodbye isn't for us. Instead, I will say that I look forward to seeing my friend again, each time I am reminded of him/her through a phrase, a joke, even an article of clothing. These are the things that will keep us close despite death."

“If people bring so much courage to this world the world has to kill them to break them, so of course it kills them. The world breaks every one and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry.”

― Ernest Hemingway, A Farewell to Arms

Dear Kubs, we will miss you my friend but I can assure you, you will never be far away from us because your memories will forever be with us in almost everything we do. Finally, there is one thing we as a family will never hear again and that is you calling out "Ah Sandy!!! What is that? " whenever there is some food being passed around. Love you my dear friend and may you rest in peace in Gods arms.

Our heartfelt condolences to the loving family he has left behind.

God bless…. we will always be there for you.

Pradeep, Sandy, Ayen & Qiara

We will miss you terribly, mate. We will especially miss the joyfully bad rounds of Golf, Saturday mornings watching the 6 Nations and Rugby Championship, the hilarious banter around Fauci and DJT, your food recommendations and, most of all, your mates-hip.

My brother and dearest friend,

I have no words to express my sadness. .. just the memories and your voice in my inner ear....

It was just a few days before we had that hilarious video call,... And the next day... time stood still 😞..

It is well known that I was closer to you than my own siblings, as you were always there for me, no matter what, and I too shared your ups and downs in life since the mid 70's.

Sadly I couldn't visit you or be with you this time for reasons you and I know too well...

However we will meet again, and I will hold your sweet memory close to my heart always. I will be with Dishan and Shihan and they still have me.

I have no more tears in me, for I have shed more than most in life ..you were the only one who stood by me, and I know you will continue to do so from heaven... Hug my darling daughter Natasha... Keep her beside you... Till we meet again... I love you bro, 💞

So sorry to hear of this news, Tiyani. Your family is your world and can’t imagine how difficult this is for you. Thinking of you and know that you’re in all our thoughts.

I met kubs thru Ricky..

Dearest Tiyani,

We are lost for words; A part of our life has been snatched away . We will miss Kuberan dearly.

To Russell, Kuberan was a brother, a treasured friend, a Mentor, a Buddy, and his passing has left a big void in his life, He is going to miss having a drink with Kuberan , be it getting good advice, discussing current affairs or reminiscing good old stories from KLM days.

Russell and I will always cherish our time spent together, our BBQ meet ups, our crazy parties , that random evening meet up and the laughter We’ve shared throughout the years. We are ever so grateful for the good times we have shared with him. Kuberan was the kindest soul with the warmest heart.He was larger than life and we will forever hold on to these memories.

Wishing you and the boys/girl’s comfort and strength in the coming days and months knowing that Kuberan is resting in peace with Jesus in Paradise.

With a broken heart, Russell & Garnett

Dear Tiyani, Shihan, Dishan and family,

Our sincere and deepest sympathies at this very sad and difficult time. Prayers and thoughts with you all to give you strength. RIP Kuberan remembered dearly

Dearest Thiyani and Family, I was shocked and deeply sadned with the news please accept my deepest condolence, no amount of words will take away this pain. I pray that the loving arms of Jesus be around you and the boys and comfort you all at this very difficult time.

May Jesus be with you always.

Dearest Tiyani, Dishan and Shehan,

Deepest sympathies to all of you. Hold on to you memories and let them guide you through this difficult time. I will always treasure the happy times we had with Kubs and your family in Dubai.

Wishing you and the boys strength and peace in this time of sadness and may God's love make your grief bearable.

May his soul rest in peace.

Dear Tiyani and family, Uncle David Ratnavale and I send you, Dishan and Shihan our sincere love and sympathies on the passing of dear Kuberan. We are so glad we were able to meet him and you when he last visited. Our love and prayers are with you.

Dear Tiyani and family: sending you my heartfelt thoughts.

Kubs and I met in 1988 when I joined KLM in Dubai and we hit it off instantly, but then Kubs easily got on well with everyone. There wasn't a single day at work where we didn't have a good laugh mostly at our own "bloopers"... of which there were many.

Kubs always had a kind and often humorous word for everyone. He treated everyone with the same respect and dignity, regardless of their position. He never spoke ill of anyone, even of people that drove him up the wall. It wasn't like he was oblivious to people's flaws; he simply chose not to dwell on them and focus on the good instead. With his smile and wit, Kubs had a way of making everything seem okay, even when it wasn't.

He was much more than a friend and I will miss our monthly chats, but I will always hold his memory close to my heart. To Tiyani, Dihan, and Shihan, may God bless you with the strength you need to get through this very difficult time. I hope you all find some comfort in knowing how much Kubs meant to everyone who knew him.

Rest in peace, my "old father". You'll be very much missed, but never ever forgotten.

Our deepest sympathies Tiyani, Dishan & Shihan on the loss of your loving husband & Dad. May his beautiful soul rest in peace.

It was a shocked to hear this sad new. We have Found memories of my only first cousin from my father's side Kuberan helped us a lot when we moved to Dubai.. Had great times having barbecue at creek park(Dubai) . I remember keberan baby sitting my older son in a desperate situation ❤️. He was always willing to help .His strong faith in Jesus was an example for me and my family. Will miss chatting with you on video calls . Will miss kuberan dearly. Now you are with Jesus in paradise.

Kuberan's unexpected passing has really saddened all of us at Voyzant.

He was a great Boss and a Mentor , he inspired everyone. we will cherish and treasure the memories we made together at work. you will be truly missed .

RIP Kuberan

I’m from way back when Kubs was a fledgling drinker at BCal and joined, under pressure, B. Kurian, Esq and a bunch of other reprobates in Thursday lunchtime sessions, when we had six-and-a-half day weeks here in Dubai, and deserved a break!

Despite that, he grew up and did all the good stuff whilst some of us are still waiting.

Unconscionable waste to go so quick, Mister, but you played a blinder!

My condolences to all left behind.

We have great memories of spending wonderful time with kuberan and my cousin Tiyani at their beautiful home in Toronto. A simple man with a heart warming smile. May God give strength to my loving cousin at the loss of her dearly beloved husband.

Dearest Family and a Wonderful Friend Kuberan,

Even though we met a few years ago and our informal chats in my drive way were very in-depth, knowledgeable and full of humor. I will definitely miss the ring of our home doorbell on an occasional Sunday afternoon which I always looked forward to when my wife says Kuberan is here to pickup the food. My Dearest Brother even though we were travel professionals for competition KLM & BA we always shared a good laugh and hug when we met.

It's not goodbye Kuberan it is "so long"

See you soon one day Brother RIP

Anton

Dear Tiyana, Dishan and Family,

I am shocked and deeply saddened to hear of Kuberan’s passing. I will never forget the wonderful road trip over 3 with Kuberan, Dishan, myself and my son Justin, traveling from Milton to Winnipeg to assist our boys on their relocation to Winnipeg.

My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.

Kubs was a very dear friend.

Known him from KLM days and cannot believe he is no longer wirh us.

Still remember the times we used to hang out and go for drinks and meals

In Toronto we went to a Mexican restaurant and had a beer served in a Lab apparatus of some kind, and never seen him laugh so much

These are precious memories we can hold onto to forever

You will always hold a special place in our hearts

May the turf lie gently upon your soul

Be in peace , my friend

With love

Jerry & Thushari

Kubs was a wonderful guy, a sincere friend and colleague (KLM). Still remember training at the same time in Amsterdam, going to "Jaws", dinner and having a good laugh at a guy in front of us at Dam Square with the back of his pants cut off. Enjoyed his company when he stayed with us at Kirimandala Mw for a about a year. My mom loved him too. He had a great sense of humor humor. Dear Kubs, we are going to miss you. Rest in Peace and may the turf lie gently over you.

Kubs was a wonderful guy, a sincere friend and colleague (KLM). Still remember the training in Amsterdam at the same time, going to see jaws, having dinner and having a good laugh of a guy with the back of his pants cut off.

We are so saddened that you left us but take comfort knowing you are at peace 💜 thank you for the fond memories that we will always have of you.

We miss you so very much.

Rest easy uncle Kubs. All my love always

I have so many lovely memories of him, from the times we worked together, in training in Amsterdam at same time and during his stay at our home in Kirimandala Mw for over an year. My mom loved him. Goodbye Kubs may your soul Rest in Peace

Family isn't always Blood ... Its the people in your life who always want you in theirs ... The ones who accept you for who you are ... The ones who would do anything to see you laugh (and boy didn't we have so many laughs) ... Who love you no matter what.

You are family Bro ... To my Parents, Saku. Manthi and me ... Thank you for the love, the joy and memories ... and when the dust settles we'll always remember you this way 😢 .. Gonna miss you forever ...

As an ex-colleague of Kuberan's he was always passionate about both his family life and his professional contribution to the industry he loved. Was a privilege to have worked with him.

Dear Tiyani My deepest sympathies to you and the family.

Kuberan was a gentleman and always willing to help everyone when we worked together at KLM Colombo.

Uncle Kubs,

It’s hard to believe you are no more with us and we will never get to see you again..

You have always been a super uncle who has always given us sound advice and encouraged us always.

Thank you for everything you have done for us..

I know you safely with God.

We love you and miss you dearly…

Until we meet again..

Seshan and Shimaz

I dont hve words to express my feelings towards sudden demise of our loving Friend Kubs. You are One in Millions Brother May your soul rest in peace with Almighty Gods hands until we meet again .so long buddy ...Tikka

Kuberan, ws some one who energy and passion exuded who he was. He will be missed terribly and as long as we remember him the way we saw - we will never forget him. Stay strong he is always near and dear to all of us

While in dubai we have met each other so many time at the old boys rugby match.may his soul rest in peace

Fond memories of my only first cousin from my father's side. Remember visiting Nanda, Dr and Kuberan in Kandy when he was at Trinity.

Great times visiting him in Dubai and Canada. Rest in the arms of Jesus.

Good old memories from Dubai during his tenure in KLM. May his soul rest in peace. We will include him in our prayers

Your simple smile will never be forgotten. Rest in peace Kuberan!

Kubs was not just a fantastic neighbor he was more than a very good friend he was like family, we shared many stories and laughed constantly.

He was loved by all and will be sadly missed but not forgotten. God bless my friend until we meet again

Kubs was a great soul. I was extremely measured with my English sentences, so as to not blooper with him around or on the phone. I talked to him so often during Kubs pursuing Salesforce certs in 2021. Awesome guy & true pal. Cheers mate. RIP
