Rajoaman Nainggolan, a beacon of wisdom and kindness, passed away peacefully on January 23, 2025 at the age of 90. Born on August 17, 1934, in North Sumatra, Indonesia, Rajoaman's life was a testament to his unwavering faith and dedication to education. He leaves behind a legacy of love, learning, and devout service to God.
Rajoaman was the cherished husband of Dumaria (Tampubolon) Nainggolan, with whom he shared a lifetime of love and companionship. Together, they raised a family of six remarkable children:
Ellyda M Tan, who has three children, Shanna, Ellyssa and Ian Michael and one granddaughter, Khloe.
Alexander (married to Grace Kalalo) have four children, Michael, Stephen, Shawn and Alexandra and one granddaughter, Cherish.
Joyce (married to Stanley Sihotang) have one daughter, Zoe.
Daniel (married to Irene Prasetya) have two children, Darren and Chloe.
Linda (married to Nick Panyot) have one daughter, Katelyn.
Sukaswati (married to Yohanes Febian) have one son, Alvaro Gotze.
His role as a father was one of his greatest joys, and he instilled in his children the values of patience, hope, and faith.
His twelve grandchildren, Shanna, Ellyssa, Ian Michael, Michael, Stephen, Shawn, Alexandra, Zoe, Darren, Chloe, Katelyn and Alvaro, as well as his two great-grandchildren, Khloe and Cherish, will fondly remember their grandfather as a gentle soul who provided wisdom and guidance. Rajoaman's influence on their lives will continue to be felt for generations to come.
Rajoaman's commitment to education was evident in his academic achievements, culminating in a Doctorate in Education from Andrews University. His passion for learning led him to a distinguished career as a professor at Universitas Advent Indonesia, where he inspired countless students with his knowledge and dedication. As a published author, he contributed significantly to the academic community, leaving behind a wealth of scholarly work.
His interests were as profound as they were simple. Rajoaman found solace in reading and writing, and his daily prayers were a source of strength and comfort. Music filled his home with joy, and his unwavering commitment to reading his Bible every day was a testament to his deep faith. As an advisor, he was patient and God-fearing, always ready to offer hope and gentle guidance. His influence extended beyond his family, touching the lives of all who knew him.
Rajoaman's character was the epitome of love and kindness. His wisdom was sought after by many, and his ability to listen and provide thoughtful counsel made him a respected influencer in his community. His quiet demeanor was a reflection of his introspective nature, and those who had the privilege of knowing him would describe him as nothing less than loving, kind, and wise.
As we bid farewell to Rajoaman Nainggolan, we celebrate a life well-lived, marked by devotion to family, faith, and the pursuit of knowledge. His memory will be cherished and honored by all who were blessed to cross paths with him. Though he may be gone from our sight, his spirit will continue to guide and inspire us. Rest in peace, dear Rajoaman, until we meet again.
