Family members, friends and his employer are praising Venojan Suthesan, 21, the young man found dead on the property of Lester B. Pearson Collegiate Institute early Monday. His uncle says he believes that the straight-A student at the Schulich School of Business at York University was the victim of a violent robbery. He was found after midnight. Family members said he had just finished work and was on his way to the gym which is across the street from Pearson CI. Suthesan’s cousin Monika Selvarajah said her family is heartbroken and in shock. “He’s a go-getter. He is always positive,” she told CTV News Toronto. “He had such a bright future.” A woman named May, who was Suthesan’s manager at the Pickle Barrel restaurant near Leslie and Finch Sts, said Suthesan was a banquet server at the restaurant and had worked there for the past five years. She is quoted saying, “He is the last person in the world that would have ever deserved this. He was so caring and so kind. It just breaks my heart to see such an innocent, kind person go away just like that,” she said tearfully. “He worked during weekends and weeknights to help support himself and his family so he could take care of them and get a better education to have a better life.”
