Aravind Kotagiri, sudden death of a young father
Donation protected
With tremendous sorrow we share the news of the death of our beloved Aravind Kotagiri.
In the early hours of Wednesday December 27th, 2023-Aravind passed away unexpectedly due to a cardiac arrest. His wife, Neetu and two young sons-Vihaan (13) and Viraj (8) are experiencing an unimaginable loss in ways that cannot be expressed.
He made an impact on so many of us in his role as a son, loving brother, husband, dedicated father, a great friend, and a fun-loving uncle to all the kids. He had an infectious positivity and an easy-going nature that made him the confidant of many! He was always willing to lend a helping hand(or ear) to any who needed it. He helped coached and mentored many young professionals in his career.

He enjoyed playing cricket, creating graphic designs, watching movies, and most of all caring for his children.
May we always remember him with a smile on our faces, as he surely would have wanted. If you are able, any contributions made on GoFundMe will go to his wife, Nitu Narang(beneficiary), to help offset funeral costs and medical expenses. Any surplus funds will go towards Vihaan and Viraj’s college fund.
We love you Aravind, thank you for the brief but unforgettable memories. Om Sadgati
