Sent a gift in memory of Rajesh Gopalakrishna

All of my memories of Rajesh are of his smiling face and fun-loving demeanor.  So sorry to hear of his sudden passing; he was a great man and he will be missed.

Veena and family- I am very sorry for your loss.  My family is praying for your family.

For our baby brother, you will always be in our hearts, your smile, your laugh, and your unconditional love for all of us.  We will miss you baby brother, but I know you are enjoying the presence & peace of God in heaven.  

The light you put into each of our hearts will forever burn bright.  

Love always,

I have been fortunate to have known Rajesh for nearly fifteen years. From the initial point of meeting Rajesh in 1997 while at OSU until his passing, he has provided my wife and I with an abundance of warm memories. At any point within those fond years, it becomes difficult to reminisce of memorable times that do not include Rajesh's warm and outgoing personality. He was a significant part of our lives for so many years. 

We love you, Rajesh. You and your family are in our prayers. 

Sincerely,
Cono, Faye, & Gio Barbera

Gopalakrishna Family, my deepest sympathy to your family during this time.  I worked with Rajesh for 7 years, 4 of those side by side.  He was a smart, funny, silly, and sometimes stubborn ;-) man.  I developed a close friendship with him as he mentored me day in and day out.  I recently made a decision to go back to college to pursue a dream of being a nurse.  He was one of the people who pushed me when I was afraid to take the initial step.  During my first year I would go into his office feeling defeated and ready to give up. His words of encouragement kept me going.  He even sat down with me for a bit after his shift to help me figure out a study plan to go by.  He was an amazing friend. We would  laugh and quote Seinfeld on a daily basis as we realized most of our associates were too young to appreciate our humor. He was silly and goofy as he made us smile with his big heart and silly laugh.  He will be deeply missed by many.  Your family is in our prayers at this most difficult time.

A great father, brother, son, uncle, friend and all around man will be deepy missed but never forgotten. Until we reunite after this life on earth - Rest in peace Rajesh.

Rajesh, I will always remember you as a good person, a great dad, husband and a fun loving person. May your soul rest in peace. Prayers.

Arun, Lindsay and Gopalakrishna Family,

We were saddened to hear the news about Rajesh.  Please accept our deepest condolences.  You are all in our prayers.

Arun, Lindsay and the entire Gopalakrishna family, Rajesh was a wonderful person that brought a smiling face and happiness to all he knew.  He will be missed dearly... my thoughts and prayers are with your family during this painful time.

Dear Gopalakrishna Family,

I am so sorry to hear about your tragic loss. I have such happy memories of Rajesh from St. Bernadette and high school . . . always smiling and such a kind and loving person. I cannot imagine how your hearts must be breaking, but I pray that God will send you the strength to move forward one day at a time.

Dear Dr.Gopal and family,
We are shocked and sadden to hear the tragic news. We remember the jovial young man who entertained our kids (residents christmas gathering) as Santa about 12 years ago. It is hard to believe he is no more with us.
We share the sorrow with you all and our prayers are with you now and ever.
Kala, Ravi and Kids.

I'm so sorry.  I'm glad I had the privilege to work with Rajesh at A&F.  He will truly be missed.

My prayers are with your family during this difficult time!
Love,
Anne Marie Shinko-Brown, Josh Brown, and Nathan Brown

I cannot believe such a wonderful young man has been taken so soon and tragically.  I remember his beautiful smile, eyes and compassionate soul.  He was always there to help my daughter when she needed it.  My deep condolences to his entire family.  May God's Angel's give you some kind of peace during this impossible grief.

Dear KV & Family,

We were so sorry to hear of this great loss. There are many fond memories of watching Rajesh grow up as a neighbor from childhood to a terrific young adult. I can remember the many car pools to St. Ignatius.
May God Bless you and your beautiful family.
