“I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:

(II Timothy – 4:7)

The above verse is apt for a great soul, who recently rested in the Lord.

Our beloved YFT Trustee, Mr.David Thiruthuvaraj who is also the father of our Founder Director, Mr.D Selvin Rajkumar, passed away on November 9, 2010.

We praise God for all His goodness showered upon him in his lifetime.   We also thank all our well-wishers who shared their condolences and grief with us.

Mr.David Thiruthuvaraj lived in this world for 75 years, before proceeding to be with the Lord for Eternity.    Born in a good family known for its values, Mr.David grew-up and joined the Police and had an illustrious career as he retired as the Deputy Commissioner of Police of Chennai.   He was identified as an outstanding policeman on duty, which is demonstrated by the fact that he was nominated for the Presidential Medal and was also a recipient of the Tamil Nadu State Police Medals.   He served in various capacities, across the state of Tamil Nadu, including the position of  Principal of Police Recruitment School ( PRS ) at Coimbatore before retiring as the DCP of Chennai.

As a family man, he was blessed with a great wife in Mrs.Kasthuri David, who rested in the Lord on November 27, 2009.   He is survived by 2 Sons and 2 Daughters and he took pride in the fact that all his children are serving the Lord, in various capacities and their next generation too being actively involved in the Service of the Lord.

Mr. David was very active for the Lord and was passionate about serving Him.   After committing his life fully to the Lord, during the later part of his Police career, he devoted considerable time for His work.   He has preached in various Churches and Meetings and with his deep knowledge of the Scriptures, encouraged many people in the Lord.   Also, he played an active role in supporting various Ministries and Churches, in their Apostolic and other Ministry works.

Having lived a full-life, he breathed his last on Nov 9, 2010 at Coimbatore which was a peaceful death, just after finishing his lunch.   His body was buried at Chennai and he still remains as a great soul, setting benchmarks to follow.

We thank our Lord Jesus Christ for his life and thank you all for your support during the period of our grief.

God bless you !
