Haran Thanikasalam, San Diego, CA, Community Honors Beloved Family Man and Artist

Haran Thanikasalam passed away on September 27, 2024, in San Diego, surrounded by his family and close friends. Haran had been battling late-stage cholangiocarcinoma since June 2024, demonstrating remarkable courage throughout his illness. His passing has deeply affected his loved ones and the community, who remember him for his kindness, generosity, and creative spirit.

Haran was passionate about art, bringing joy and beauty to those around him through his creations. He was also an avid fan of storytelling, drawing inspiration from beloved series like Seinfeld, Harry Potter, and Star Wars. In addition to his artistic pursuits, Haran found peace and fulfillment in gardening, where he lovingly cared for his vegetables and flowers, much like the people in his life. His love of snowboarding and the mountains was matched only by the love he had for his family—his wife, Sutha, and their two children, Lakshmi, 15, and Vignesh, 10.

To honor Haran’s memory, a fundraiser has been organized by a team of friends on behalf of Sutha Thanikasalam, with the goal of supporting his family during this challenging time. The funds will help ease the burden of funeral costs and provide financial relief as they navigate life without Haran. The legacy of kindness, creativity, and love that Haran left behind continues to inspire those who knew him.

On Facebook, Kaumudi Nivarthi paid tribute to Haran, posting, "In honor of Haran!" This message is just one of the many heartfelt condolences shared by those who cherished him.

We extend our deepest sympathies to Haran’s family and friends. Our thoughts and prayers are with them during this time of sorrow.
