Sudhakar Reddy Obituary (1963 - 2024) - Bridgewater, New Jersey

~ Namaskaram ~ The Reddy Family is heartbroken to announce the passing of their beloved Sudhakar Reddy. ~~~~~~ Sudhakar 'Suds' Bandaru Reddy, 60, passed away on February 26th, 2024 in Bridgewater NJ. Suds was born in South Bend, Indiana to Drs. Subhashini and Sivarama Reddy and is the eldest of three children. When Suds was 7, the family moved to Suffern, New York where he grew up. He attended his dream school, The University of Notre Dame, graduating with a degree in Electrical Engineering. Go Irish! Suds married his wife Aarti in August of 1991 and they have two daughters, Aasha and Tara. Suds was a man of many interests. He loved collecting antique cars and owned many over the years. He was part of the Cougar Club of NJ/PA and attended every possible car show he could. He loved fixing cars (or fixing anything really). Everyone called on him to help fix this or that and he was ever so happy to do so. He also loved all sports, particularly football. No one was better at tailgating than he was at a Notre Dame (or any) football game. He loved eating...the spicier the better. We often joked that he was a terrible person to taste test a new recipe because he loved all foods and absolutely everything tasted great to him. He loved exercising and was extremely fit. He biked, hiked, and ran on a weekly basis and his workouts intensified as he prepared for his trip to Mount Everest later this year. Most of all, Sudhakar loved his family and lived life to the fullest. He insisted on hosting Thanksgiving annually because that was the one time of year where he could combine two of his loves: food and family. He never passed up an opportunity to attend a family event or get together with friends. Suds is survived by his mom of 91 years old; his wife, Aarti, two daughters-Aasha and Tara; his sister Sada and her three kids (Kiran, Xavier, Jaya Lily), his brother Srikanth, his wife, Mayra, and their two kids (Mila and Alexander) and extended family members. He was a bright light that will truly be missed. His friends and family describe him as the most loving and kind-hearted person, always there to help those around him. We will miss his laugh, his jokes, his hugs, his (annoying) desire to take pics/videos all the time, and his smiles. We will miss his strength, his resilience, and his passion. May he rest in eternal light. We love you Sudhakar and will forever cherish the many, many happy memories.
