The University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ announces, with deep sadness, the death of Harsimran Darhan. Harsimran was a fourth-year mechatronics engineering student.
Harsimran loved his coursework and excelled in his co-op terms focused on what he was learning. He was a very kind-hearted young man who had a wonderful sense of humour. He loved to be outdoors, especially on his bike. He is fondly remembered by his many friends and by his instructors at À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ.
His family held a private memorial service in Toronto for close family and friends this past Sunday, Oct. 2. The University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ’s flags were flown at half-mast yesterday to honour his life on the day of his funeral. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Harsimran’s family and his friends as they grieve their tremendous loss.
