Eulogies

A Beloved Sibling

Family and friends, we are gathered here to celebrate the life of Sanjay Reddy, a person whose warmth and kindness left an indelible mark on everyone they touched. Born in 1938 and raised with strong values, Sanjay grew into someone who embodied compassion in every sense of the word. Whether at home, at work, or in the community, Sanjay had an uncanny ability to make every person feel seen and valued.

Throughout their life, Sanjay gave generously — of their time, their laughter, and their love. They were the first to arrive when help was needed and the last to leave when someone needed comfort. The world of San Francisco, CA is quieter without them, but the echoes of their kindness will never fade.

As we say farewell to Sanjay Reddy, let us remember not the loss, but the extraordinary life they lived. May we carry forward their example — to love deeply, serve faithfully, and leave every room a little better than we found it.
