GeevargheseYohannan , age 85, of Grand Prairie, Texas passed away on Monday May 27, 2019. Geevarghese Yohannan was born May 20, 1934 in Arannottimangalam, India to Gee Varghese and Saramma. His siblings are late sister, Thankamma, and surviving brother, K.V. Pappachan. Geevarghese Yohannan was married to Chinnamma Yohannan for over 50 years.
Appacha was blessed with 4 children; Abraham Yohannan, Babu Yohannan, Saramma Sam and Pr. Regi Yohannan. He was also blessed with 9 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren.
Appacha accepted the Lord as his personal Savior through his wife's fasting and prayer. He was baptized in his late thirties. Appacha proclaimed the Gospel of the Lord in his area and brought many lives to Christ. He was a pioneer for the Lord's work in Arannottimangalam. He selflessly served the ministers, believers, nonbelievers, and his church of ICP Ebenezer. Appacha was the treasurer of IPC Ebenezer Arannottimangalam from 1982-1989 (7 years). Also he was Secretary of IPC Ebenezer Arannottimangalam from 1987-2006 (19 years).
October 2016, Appacha came to the United States. While staying with his son, Pr. Regi Yohannan, and his family, he worshipped at IPC Ebenezer Dallas. He was a prayer warrior, mentor and "Appacha" to everyone. He had a caring, loving and sharing heart. Appacha always wanted to give to others. He enjoyed helping the needy and underprivileged. He loved everyone and was a role model to both young and old.
Appacha will be dearly missed by everyone, but we will surely see him again on the other shore.
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the sound of the last trumpet call, the dead who believed in Christ will be raised imperishable, and we will be completely and wondrously transformed.
- 1 Corinthians 15:52
