On May 27, 2026, the Sikh community, especially the North American sangat, lost a deeply dedicated sevadar, mentor, and guide. Sardar Kuldeep Singh Ji (1939–2026) devoted much of his life to the service of the Khalsa Panth and played an important role in connecting children and youth growing up in the West to their Sikh roots. He lived a life of seva, sacrifice, and steady commitment.
