Bhuvaneshwar Karunanithi family fund

Donation protected
Dear friends,

It is with heavy heart that we inform you about the untimely demise of our beloved friend, Bhu, on June 22nd, 2019 while on vacation near Destin, Florida with family. Bhuvaneshwar Karunanithi, fondly called Bhu, was a resident of Ooltewah, Tennessee. His world revolved around his wife and his two daughters, aged 17 and 12 and his parents. He would have turned 50 this week and to celebrate, he had taken his family on a vacation to Florida. Unfortunately, Bhu will remain 49 forever, as he was pulled into a rip tide Saturday while playing with his kids in the water and drowned right in front of his family. Emergency personnel were able to retrieve his body but their heroic efforts to revive him ended in vain.

He was a fun loving, vibrant, energetic soul with a "loud" opinion on matters big and small. His willingness to help others knew no boundaries and he never refused anyone needing assistance of any kind. His love for his family and kids was unparalleled. He was planning on taking his daughter on college visits as she gets ready to step into her senior year in high school this fall. She was a few feet away from her Dad when he got pulled in by the rip tide and it crushes our heart to see the pain in her eyes as she relives those last moments over and over again. An act of nature has turned the peaceful and wonderful life of this sweet family upside down in a matter of seconds. He will be thoroughly missed by family and friends and colleagues. However, he will live in our hearts forever and continue to serve scores of people through his organ and tissue donations.

We have created this fund to help support Bhu's family as they process the enormous void in their lives this accident has left behind. While we can do little to fill that void, we are trying to at least help ease some of the financial burdens his family is/will be going through. These funds will be used towards the education expenses of the children.

We sincerely appreciate your generous and timely contributions.

Please continue to keep Bhu's family in your prayers. God Bless !
