With profound sorrow, we share the sudden and heartbreaking passing of Kishore Balu on 02/08/2026 due to an unexpected cardiac arrest in Chicago, IL. Kishore was a devoted husband and an incredibly loving father. His wife, Bhanu, and their two daughters were the heart of his life, and everything he did was guided by his unwavering love and dedication to them. He worked tirelessly to give his family a secure and joyful future, cherishing every moment they spent together.

Kishore was known for his warmth, kindness, and fun-loving spirit that could instantly brighten anyone’s day. Through his good humor, steady strength, and constant support for family and friends, he left a lasting impact on everyone who knew him.

He leaves behind his beloved wife Bhanu and their two daughters—one a freshman at The Ohio State University and the other a sophomore at Stevenson High School. This sudden loss has devastated the family, leaving them not only emotionally shattered but also facing unexpected financial challenges.

We are raising funds to help support Bhanu and the girls during this unimaginably difficult time, including assistance with education and essential living expenses. All contributions will go directly to the family to help them find stability and strength as they move forward.

Please keep Kishore and his family in your thoughts and prayers during this time of profound loss. Your kindness, compassion, and any support you offer mean more than words can truly express and bring comfort beyond measure to the family.
