“Our heartfelt thoughts are with Gagandeep’s family and friends,” said David McMurray, vice-president: Student Affairs. “His tragic death is felt deeply within the Laurier community.”

A service will be held for Gagandeep on July 24 at 12:30 p.m. at the Fraser River Funeral Home, 2061 Riverside Road, Abbotsford, British Columbia.
