Dakshinamurthy Ranganathan

July 12, 1975 - November 21, 2020

Daksinamurthy Ranganathan, age 45, of Delaware, Ohio, died unexpectedly on November 21, 2020. He will be remembered as an exceptionally kind, courteous, respectful man who was devoted to his wife and son. Highly intelligent and also silly, strong willed but also constant in his concern for the wellbeing of others, Murthy was a man of impeccable integrity, a wry smile, and a hopeless fondness for Apple products. Born in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India on July 12, 1975, Murthy immigrated to the United States via New Jersey in 2001. He moved to Central Ohio for employment. As a fiercely independent thinker, Murthy carved his own path for himself and later with his beloved bride Lakshmi whom he married in 2010. He was a devoted father to his son Vikram with whom he loved to build Legos and take long walks in the woods at Highbanks. While proud of his Indian heritage, Murthy also loved his adoptive country and was thrilled to become a U.S. citizen in 2018. He worked for 15 years a Network Engineer for JPMorganChase. He earned his MBA at The Ohio State University in 2017 before making an impressive midcareer change to Agile Coach for TCS and NiSource in 2019. Dakshinamurthy is preceded in death by his father Ranganathan Murthy and mother Janaki Ranganathan. He is survived by his wife Lakshmi and son Vikram; sister Annapoorani (Rahul) Aras of Germany; niece Riya, and nephew Rishabh; and many aunts, uncles, and cousins in both the U.S. and India. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the following fund to help defray funeral costs and living expenses for Lakshmi and Vikram until Lakshmi is able to finish nursing school and start working. gofundme.com/f/support-murthys-wife-and-son
