Hi, My name is Sandesh Upadhya. I am really shocked to say that one of my beloved friend Deepak Raju is no longer with us. I still can’t believe that he has left this world at a very young age of 40. He was a caring husband, proud father of his 7 very old son and very good human being. He was living in Irvine, CA along with his family. He passed away on Dec 20th due to a major cardiac arrest. This is a huge setback for his wife, son and aged parents back in India who were dependent on him as he was the sole breadwinner of the family. We are creating this fund raiser to help support his family in anyway we could during these tough times. We really appreciate your generous contribution that will be used to perform Deepak’s last rituals and remaining funds will be used for his son’s future education.

Sincerely,

Sandesh Upadhya
