Daniel Humbert-Droz
This is to inform that community that our brother and friend Daniel Humbert-Droz passed in the afternoon of 26 August in his house in Sharnga at the age of 74 and in the presence of his partner Komala and friends.
Daniel, a Swiss national, started coming to Auroville in 2003 and joined us three years later. Being an accomplished carpenter and handyman, many of us will remember and miss him from his reliable and considerable participation at events at the Matrimandir amphitheatre, at various schools, Santé services and wherever else he could help out. Friends describe him as a quiet, humble man, dedicated to Auroville’s wellbeing and loyal to his commitments.
This last year Daniel’s health started failing and he was several times hospitalised. Having recently spent two months in the intensive care at EastCoast Hospital, he became tired of it all and asked to be taken home to Sharnga, where he gently passed away two hours after arrival.
We thank and salute him; may he find his way to the Light.
Daniel’s remains will be taken to the Farewell Crown Road centre where friends can bid him a last goodbye from 9am – 5pm. Details about the funeral will be shared as and when available.
