Vijay M. Gokarn Obituary (1953 - 2022)

It is with great sadness that The Gokarn Family announces the passing of their beloved Vijay Gokarn ~~~~~~ Vijay M Gokarn, 68, passed away peacefully on Monday January 17th 2022 around 3:30am. He is survived by his wife, two daughters, son-in laws and four beautiful grandchildren. Vijay's life was defined by his passion for family, his ability to make everyone around him laugh and his absolute selflessness. He came to the US with only $4 in his pocket, a story that many close to him know. He worked tirelessly through the years to create a foundation for his family and friends to thrive, to love and to succeed. He achieved so much in his life professionally and personally but he never spoke a word of his success. Instead, he always chose to celebrate those around him. We will always remember his humble nature, his ability to give without receiving, his patience, his humor, his resilience and his ability to fight for those he loved. We can honor him most by loving, by living and by giving. He will forever live in our hearts with his warm smile shining upon us all. ** Private, Family Only, Funeral Puja, Last Rites / Cremation Thursday, January 20, 2022 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.** DUE TO THE CURRENT COVID-19 SITUATION THERE WILL BE NO VISITATION.
