Born in Basant Pura, Barara Haryana, India, Harjot moved to New Jersey nine years ago and lived in Princeton Junction at the time of his death, according to a GoFundMe created for his funeral expenses.
Harjot spent the last seven years working as an Area Manager at 7-Eleven throughout Mercer County, his obituary says.
According to the fundraiser, he was an active member of the Central Jersey Sikh Association and a dedicated dad to his eight-month-old twin daughters, Nadar and Nimrat Kaur, and his son, Sahib Singh. He also leaves behind his wife, Gagandeep Kaur.
More than $13,000 has been raised in just one day on the campaign, which will be used to hold Harjot’s funeral service in his home country of India.
“Please help our family out, as they have been mentally and emotionally challenged by the sudden death of their loved one,” reads the campaign. “Help the family get back on their feet by donating in honor of Harjot Singh (Raja).”
In addition to his wife and children, Harjot leaves behind his father, Lakhwinder Singh; his mother, Rajinder Kaur; his brother, Namjeet Singh; his sister, Jaswinder Kaur; as well as many extended family members, co-workers, and close friends.
