In Loving Memory of Tiru Chabba
1979 – 2025
Beloved Father, Husband, and Friend
It is with deep sorrow and heavy hearts that we announce the funeral service details for Tiru Chabba, the 45-year-old father of two from Greenville, South Carolina, whose life was tragically taken during the heartbreaking incident on Florida State University’s campus last week. Tiru’s sudden and senseless passing has sent shockwaves through his family, friends, and the wider community who knew and loved him.
A devoted husband, a loving father, and a treasured friend to many, Tiru leaves behind a legacy defined by compassion, strength, and humility. He was a man who lived for his family—especially his two children, who were the pride and joy of his life. Whether cheering them on at school events, helping with homework, or simply being present in their lives, Tiru was the kind of father every child dreams of having: patient, supportive, and endlessly loving.
Originally from India, Tiru moved to the United States in pursuit of a better future for his family and worked tirelessly to provide them with every opportunity. In Greenville, he quickly became a respected member of both the local and cultural communities. Colleagues admired his work ethic, his quiet leadership, and his unfailing kindness. Friends and neighbors often spoke of his warmth, his hospitality, and his ever-present smile.
The senseless tragedy that took his life while visiting Florida State University has left an unfathomable void. Tiru was not just a victim of a terrible act—he was a man who carried the dreams of his family, a man who made others feel seen and valued, a man whose absence will be deeply felt for years to come.
