Raphael Tharayil Obituary

We are sad to announce that, on March 27, 2026 we had to say goodbye to Raphael Tharayil of Floral Park, New York. Family and friends can send flowers and/or light a candle as a loving gesture for their loved one. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Raphael Tharayil to show support.

As we bid Raphael farewell, let us not mourn the absence of his physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of his spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For Raphael is not truly gone, but merely transformed, his energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.

He was predeceased by: his parents, Joseph Tharayil and Elizabeth Tharayil; and his siblings, James, Chinamma and Lily.

He is survived by: his wife Maria; his son Zubin; his daughter-in-law Niti; his grandchildren, Liam and Maya; and his siblings, Mary and Ment.
