North Woodside resident Jay Thirunarayanapuram passed away unexpectedly on June 20th, 2023. 

Jay was only 15, but he packed so much into his short life and touched so many hearts. He was quirky, funny, smart and charming, and he loved to make people laugh. 

Please join his parents, Vaishali and Desikan, to celebrate Jay’s life and view some of the amazing art he created at the Silver Spring United Methodist Church (8900 Georgia Ave., Silver Spring, MD 20910) on Saturday, July 8, at 11:30 am.

In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate donations to two local nonprofits that mentor teenagers: Mentor MD/DC and DC Dream Center.

If you’d like to attend, please RSVP here.

We hope to see many of you on Saturday, July 8, as we honor and celebrate Jay.

** UPDATE ** Attire Request: Please wear colors to Jay’s celebration of life (instead of black), to celebrate and honor the vibrant person he was.
