A family over in Perth is facing an uncertain future after the tragic passing of their father and husband, Jaspreet Singh. Jaspreet’s wife, Amandeep Kaur, received the devastating news of her truck driver husband’s demise in a collision with a freight train through an emergency alert text message. The message notified her that Jaspreet had crashed at a specific location, leaving the family in shock and disbelief.
Their 12-year-old son, Samarveer Singh, shared how he and his mother have been coping with the loss of 41-year-old Jaspreet. Samarveer mentioned that he has been calling his father’s phone repeatedly just to hear his recorded voicemail message, longing for his presence. Describing Jaspreet as a hard worker, gentle soul, and devoted father, the family paid tribute to him, expressing their love and admiration for the man they had lost. Samarveer expressed his feelings of loneliness without his dad, struggling to sleep well amidst the grief and sorrow.
The Singh family had moved to Australia from India in 2018, with Jaspreet actively seeking residency in their new home country. Amandeep Kaur is now faced with the task of securing her own residency as she navigates through this challenging time. To support the family, a fundraiser has been initiated to provide assistance during this difficult period. Samarveer, determined to fulfill his father’s dreams and promises, expressed his commitment to taking care of his mother and ensuring their stay in Australia. The authorities are currently investigating the circumstances surrounding Jaspreet’s tragic death at the Cardup railway crossing on May 5.
