With profound sadness, Rama Garikapati is sharing the heartbreaking loss of Subrahmanyam Chaturvedula (Subbu), who tragically lost his life in a car accident early Tuesday morning in Tampa, Florida. Subbu was a beloved husband, father, friend, and member of the community whose life centered around the people he loved most. He leaves behind his wife, Aparna Lingam, and their two young children, Yashvik, age 7, and Nihira, age 4. Aparna and the children are currently in India, facing this unimaginable loss from thousands of miles away while grieving the sudden loss of a devoted husband and father.

Those who knew Subbu knew how deeply he cared for his family. His sudden passing has brought overwhelming sorrow along with the difficult realities that come with losing a loved one so unexpectedly. This fundraiser is being created to support Aparna, Yashvik, and Nihira with immediate expenses and the longer-term needs of the children as they navigate the days ahead without Subbu. Any contribution, no matter the amount, will help provide support and stability for this family during an incredibly painful time. If you are unable to give, please consider sharing this fundraiser with others. Every donation, share, prayer, and kind gesture means so much to Aparna, Yashvik, Nihira, and the entire family.
