Hello All,

Thanks for your kind Support!

Naveen’s mortal remains had reached India on Friday and all the rituals were completed as of yesterday. The loss still hasn’t sunk in for the family. I thank everyone for your support in these hard times.

=====================================

Thank you all for the overwhelming support. Currently, Naveen’s mortal remains are being repatriated to India via Emirates. All the family members are on board to India as well. Final rituals will be held in Hyderabad on Friday. TANA has helped in each and every step of the repatriation process. Special thanks to Ashok Kolla Garu for his incredible support.

Will keep you posted on further updates.

Hi Everyone,

We are extremely shocked and saddened by the sudden demise of my brother Naveen Ratakonda who passed away on 28 May 2023 early hours at his Philadelphia residence. Naveen has left behind his wife Anusha Ratakonda, and two incredible boys Abhiram and Arjun who are 9 and 4 respectively. Naveen was a very outgoing, dedicated, loving father, husband, son, brother, and friends to many. He had no boundaries to help others in need.

He fell off the couch on Sunday early morning complaining about difficulty in breathing and has been admitted in the ER immediately. Doctors tried to revive him for an hour and gave up.

We want to give the family the memorial they deserve, to honor their memories and say our last goodbyes. Right now, we are working to transfer the body to India for the final rituals. We hope your donation will provide much-needed funds and sustain the family's needs while also creating a nest egg for the education of Naveen’s boys through college.

We seek your prayers, support, and blessings.

Please consider donating, as any amount will truly help the family during this difficult time.

Thanks,

Gopal Ratakonda
