I've often thought about you from time to time, but this time i deicded to search your name and i was deeply sadended to learn or your passing just now. Introduced through our mutual friend Joe, when he slipped me your number and said "if you need a ride anytime, give my old mate Segi a ring. From that point on, whenenver i was out in town, or had a social event and needed a lift, TAXI50 always pulling through. You always made sure i was safe and in good hands. Such a genuine soul with caring attributes and through this a great friendship. I remember making you a carrot cake and you told me it wasn't moist enough, lol, thats the first and last time i ever made a carrot cake. Im only 3 years too late to learn about your passing. Hope your resting well. Hamilton will never be the same.
Segran is in a place of no suffering and one with God. We still remember the wonderful time we had at his place enjoying the food he cooked, what a lovely man! May God fill the family with immense peace and give you all comfort. May you all carry his legacy of faith and love. God bless you. Love and Regards Pranav and Monik"
Life makes us meet some people very brief. We meyvSegi Bhai through our Satsang. His love changed our love for God. He with his oxygen equipment did not stop cooking for us and bringing us food. Love wins. Love is eternal peace. He won our hearts last few only that we knew him. From Roselyn Pillay and Nilesh Chetty.

Dear Uncle, It's so sad that you are not among us anymore. Now whenever I think of you, remember your smiley face. We had a wonderful uncle. His smile was made of sunshine. Still remember the respect and love you had for mum and dad. Infact for everyone you knew. We will miss you dearly uncle. RIP Simmy, Rohit and family.
Segran was a man of quality who worked hard and was a good provider for his family. He wanted his children to have a good education which they did .He had many friends of which i was one and having read the tributes herein I echo the sentiments expressed and add that he will be sadly missed and always fondly remembered. Rest in Peace my dear friend. Satya Pandaram
Dearest Uncle Segi You were a person who showed love and compassion. Always kind hearted and there for anyone who needed help and assistance. I remember when we first met. You driving up and down in the Fiji Sun Van trying to have a date with Aunty. Playing the songs from the movie Imandar. You were family being dads cousin and then marrying Aunty and then having 2 amazing kids. You were a great dad and loved your kids unconditionally. Treating them equally and always were there for them and alway giving love advise and direction of leading a better life. Never having favourites but always treating everyone equally. You were a great Grandfather and would light up seeing Leo on facetime. Those memories will always be priceless Nick, Nikeeta, Leo and Bailey. Even with us cousins you were Segi. More a friend than an uncle. Someone we could sit and enjoy a drink with. I will always remember you living life to the fullest. Even when you were sick you always had a smile on your face and were always positive. Rest In Peace uncle knowing you touched many lives and have made fond memories for all. Bobby
Uncle, in nu memories you are always smiling. Rest In Peace. You will be missed.
Dear brother Death may have taken you away from us, but it could never take away your memories. May God rest his soul and take him to everlasting life. Bhaqwaan aapki aathma ko shanti pahuchay
A fearless man with boundless generosity and kindness On my 18th birthday in November 1987, Chandra Segran gifted me amongst other things a plate-shaped plaque with the words “A man is the maker of his own fortune”. To an overwhelming majority, fortune would mean huge monetary or financial gain. But not to Segi. Fortune to him was living fearlessly. Fortune to him was life-long bonds of friendship and camaraderie. And above all it meant boundless generosity and kindness. Segi’s untimely departure is being felt by all those who had known him in one way or the other. I first met him as a 17 year old on 10th December 1986 when I joined the then Fiji Sun newspaper five days after completing Form 7 or Year 13 in school. He was an integral member of the newspaper’s office. The rest is history. I saw him graduate from a good friend to a uncle. But the camaraderie remained. And so it did for many, many others. There are many, many wonderful memories of us fearlessly trying to beat the curfew in a post-coup Fiji by racing on the highway just because we decided to have another carton of Fiji Bitter…. the list of memories is long but everlasting. Death has no rhyme nor reason. Death may come prematurely or at a ripe old age. But the truth is that death is a necessity of life. This is the ultimate reality. What we do in our lives carries great weight in our destiny after we are reduced to mortal remains. In all religions, we are judged by our Karma – or the way in which we discharged our duties in life. We have first of all a duty to ourselves, to be educated, to acquire skills, to develop our abilities to the fullest, to practice self-discipline and to learn the true meaning of wisdom. Then we must do our duty to those who are near and dear, our parents and family. And finally we have a duty to serve our people and our country in whatever capacity or form. Chandra Segran performed all these responsibilities in an exemplary way. He served God through his service, generosity and kindness. It is always difficult to say the final farewell to a dear friend and uncle that I knew and worked or associated with so closely for many years. May God rest his soul and take him to everlasting life. Kamal Iyer
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 (KJV) For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Lord give peace to all family members, friends and all who are greiving.. GOD BLESS 🙏🙏🙏🙌🙌
Namskaram rest in peace bro God bless
The loss of a man who had been an important part of my life as a husband, ex-husband and finally, a befriended ex. Segran is gone now. My children are grieving and I grieve with and for them but tragically from afar. The tumultuous circumstances surrounding us are such that like many others, I could not be there for the final farewell and celebrate your life. Segi and I got married on 14th November, 1987 ( 34 years ago). However, not all marriages last. But sometimes even if a marriage falls apart, one can still rise above personal interest to be on pleasant terms with your ex. Segi and I adopted and practiced this approach for the sake of our two wonderful children, Nickool and Nikeeta. Segi and I are very proud of them. We talked a lot about them- sorry kids. The fact that we weren’t right for each other as spouses doesn’t mean there was never any genuine bond. Segi and I were not friends, per se I don't know what exactly we were. But I do know that if I needed him, he was always there for me - from our 1st date in early 1987 to years after our divorce. I know we shared a genuine bond and connection that can never be broken. Segi was a very kind man with an astounding heart who worked hard and cared a lot for those around him. He was always there for a friend or a family member in need and really liked spoiling the loved ones with presents. Segi lived and rode his life like a roller-coaster. Throughout the 34 years that I have known him, he dealt with many ups and downs. He wasn’t deterred by challenges confronting him. Death may have taken you away from us, but it could never take away your memories. You will be sadly missed. But you will remain in our hearts forever. Rest in peace. Logesh
A golden heart stopped beating Hard working hands are finally at rest God broke our heart to prove us He only takes the best 😥 Till we meet again In our hearts u will always remain Much love n respect to a men of golden character
Dear Brother Segran, “For God so loved the world, that he gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes on Him shall not perish but have everlasting life”. JOHN 3:16 During your last moments you took the Lord as your saviour and we believe you are rejoicing with the Lord in heaven away from all your suffering and pain. Good times were spend with you and all that you did for our family will always be remembered. We will still think about you, we will still talk about you, until we all meet again in heavenly places. Rest with the Lord🌷 Sister Nandani, Joseph, Amanda and Shylah.
Hi Segi It was a pleasure knowing you from 1991 when we first met. You had always spoken words of encouragement, wisdom and hope in everyone's life. I would like to thank you for all that you did to our family. It was hard to absorb the news of you leaving this earth to be with The Almighty forever. I know you are in a much better place now free from the sufferings, pain and the sorrows of life. "My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from him. He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken. — Psalm 62:1-2 Arvind & Family
"Those we love don't go away They walk beside us everyday" You have left us with beautiful memories we shared years ago my friend my brother. You will be missed . Rest high
I was very saddened when I got the news. You were more of a buddy to me than my uncle. I still remember the times as a teenager going out with you and your friends having great parties on the boat cruises and speedy car rides. These are just a few of many memories I will cherish of you. I will miss you Segra, God bless your soul and may you eternally Rest In Peace.
My dear brother If only rip meant return if possible 😔 Our heart is extremely saddened by your loss💔will surely miss you a lot more brother Will surely meet you someday in heaven You are free from all your pain bro May you rest in peacefully
Segran You left Fiji and worked hard to give your children (and their children) a better life. That is a legacy that will endure forever and that you can be very proud of. Your family values, work ethic, integrity and the pride you take in whatever you do is second to none. Rest In Peace.
Our hearts are extremely heavy and saddened by your loss, Segran. You were a very crucial part of our family. Seeing you suffer for more than 3 years, our hearts cried out for you. All we could do was to pray for you. In one of our conversations you said, "After I leave, life will go on as per usual for everyone, very few will still be searching for me". Thank you for being part of our family. We will miss you forever. Thank God you are at a better place now, free from all pain and discomfort. Rest In Peace Segran🌹. Iran, Irene and Cassandra.
Dear Segran Being around or with you was always fun and filled with laughter. Our friendship goes a very long way. Thank you for everything that you have done for my family and myself. Our lives changed only because of you, we are forever grateful for that. You were a man with your own principles in life, some very stern and you stood by it. You lived to the fullest and enjoyed it till you could. But your heart was full of giving and compassion. I have never met a positive person that you were, especially during the most challenging times in the last couple of years. You always said "bring it on, I am ready for it". You will be loved and missed the same way. Stand tall and walk proudly in the care of our merciful Lord. Ruth
My dearest brother in law, now that you are gone, your no longer here to share the bond we had together. For all the memories that we shared from when you were a little boy have only ever filled my heart with happiness and joy. Everyday throughout my life I will think of you, you will be greatly missed. Rest In Peace
Loss of friendship through death is very painful and cruel.i will always remember and cherish our fond memories since our school days till now. RIP my dearest friend.
Ever since we have known you, we found you to be very kind, caring and compassionate person. Your life was one of kindly deeds, a helping hand for others’ needs, sincere and true in heart and mind. You came into our family and left footprints in our hearts. Days will pass into years but we will always remember you as a true gentleman. Though you are gone Segran, but you will never be forgotten. Rest In Peace 🙏
