PERERA, Rajah Kaluarachige. Passed away peacefully on 9 January 2025 at Mercy Hospice. Now with his beloved wife Mangala, he was the centre of Hiran, Shalinee and Ruwani's worlds. Adored Seeya to Ryan, the best grandad to Cole & Kiran, and a much-loved brother, uncle and friend. Cherished Dad-in-law to Saira, Paul and Tim. Rajah was one-of-a-kind and led a full life with no regrets. Special thanks to Dr Russell Eggleton, and the incredible team of doctors and nurses at Mercy Hospice. In line with Rajah's wishes a private cremation was held on 15 January. Donations to Mercy Hospice in lieu of flowers please.
