With heartfelt sadness, we are writing to inform you of the sudden demise of Vinod Varadharajan on Aug 7, 2021. He leaves behind a loving wife and an 8-year old daughter. We, his friends, created this campaign to help and support his family.

Vinod, 37, was a devoted father, loving husband and dutiful son. Growing up in Chennai, India, Vinod was the "chamatthu payyan" (Tamil for good boy). Obedient to his parents, good student, graduated as an engineer, got a good job and married the girl his parents chose for him. Harini and Vinod hit it off from the start - which manifested in their loving daughter, Atulya. He moved to the United States in 2017, from India to grow into his dream role - Investment Management.

His colleagues know him as a dedicated, highly ethical worker. Some would quip : when in doubt, call Vinod for support. Always respectful, his mannerisms endeared him to all.

On Aug 7, 2021, disaster struck this beautiful family  on a vacation. Vinod passed away in an unfortunate accident.

Among his friends he has always been known as the nice guy - soft manners combined with a firm belief in right vs wrong.  The shock of his passing has left a huge void in the lives he has impacted.

Join us in helping Vinod's family by contributing and sharing this campaign with your friends and family.
