EDEN PRAIRIE, MN – Mr. George A. Das, 70, passed away on October 15, 2024, after a battle with advanced renal cancer.

He was born in Bogra, Bangladesh on April 1, 1954, and grew up in a small Christian community, the son of a police chief and midwife.  At an early age he met a missionary who greatly influenced his life and faith.

George graduated with a degree in archeology from a college in India.  Afterward, he moved to Fort Wayne, IN under the sponsorship of Rev. Binkley.   He attended Fort Wayne Bible College and graduated in 1980 with a bachelor's degree in biblical studies, where he also made some of his closest lifelong friends, including his future wife, Michelle Jean Hurst.  He married Michelle on November 20, 1982.  Sadly, Michelle passed away in 2000 and George never remarried.

George worked in IT for Summit Bank in Fort Wayne.  Later, he took a job working the IT mainframe for SuperValu, which required moving his family to Kenosha, WI.  SuperValu later transferred him to Eden Prairie, MN where he remained until his retirement in 2023 with 36 years of service.

George enjoyed taking walks, listening to the radio, current events and politics, reading history, gardening, and fishing.

He is survived by his sons, Josh Das and Ryan Das.

In addition to his wife, Michelle, George was preceded in death by his parents, his sister, Clara Das, and his brother, Douglas Das.

In keeping with George's wishes, a private service took place.
