Obituary of Chacko Varghese

Chacko Varghese (Babychayan) was born in Puthencavu, Kerala, India on March 21, 1929, to the late Varghese Chacko and Sosamma Varghese. He found his lovely wife, late Raji Mary Chacko in Ooty, and had an amazing married life for 54 years.

He was a very hardworking person who made many sacrifices for his family. He was a humble, God-fearing man, who was known by all as friendly and gregarious. He had a humorous way of talking to people. He was an overcomer who faced challenges with a strong work ethic and adapted quickly to the circumstances of his life. In addition to being fluent in Malayalam, he also taught himself Tamil and English, and displayed an avid interest in the national affairs of both India and America. He immigrated to the United States in 1979, and worked in various jobs.

Babychayan was a member of Epiphany Mar Thoma Church and faithfully served in various roles at the church throughout his life.

Babychayan was devoted to his wife, children, and grandchildren, and will be missed dearly by friends and family alike. Babychayan is survived by his Son and Daughter-in-law George and Bindu, daughter and son-in-law, Susan and John, daughter and son-in-law Alice and Raju, daughter and son-in-law Annie and Prem and he found immeasurable joy in being surrounded by 11 grandchildren: Jason Jacob, Roby Abraham, Marilyn Chacko, Reena Abraham, Shawn Jacob,  Melissa Chacko, Ryan
Abraham, Christina Chacko, Daniel Isaac, Hannah Chacko and Sharon Isaac.

Babychayan was an amazing son, husband, father, and brother. Babychayan will truly be missed and his love never be forgotten in our lives.
