Venu Gunti, also known as Venugopal, passed away after suffering a massive cardiac arrest, leaving the community in Sydney deeply saddened. Venu was a young man, estranged from his family, and hailed from Hyderabad, India. He had been divorced and had limited connections with his extended family. It is understood that both his parents had also passed away, leaving him without close relatives to organize his farewell.
Ash Menon, in a heartfelt Facebook post, expressed the sorrow of the situation, saying, “Life is unpredictable & we are all on this journey of life together. Today the truth has been revealed.. Life is indeed unpredictable.” Despite being estranged from his family, Ash and her friends have stepped up to ensure Venu receives a dignified farewell through Hindu cremation rites. Ash shared that they had reached out to Venu’s family in the USA, but after learning of the financial responsibilities, the family chose not to assist.
Ashna Menon has organized a GoFundMe campaign to cover the costs of Venu’s funeral, with a goal of raising AUD $12,000. So far, no donations have been made, but the community hopes for support from people who knew him or from the Hyderabad community in Sydney.
Several members of the community have taken to Facebook to share their condolences. Rosie Samy wrote, "Rest in peace," while Asha Kiran noted, "Indeed life is so unpredictable. Gone too soon. RIP Venu." Other tributes poured in from Rosie’s Sweets, Barbara Menon, Lucky Singh, Dhillon Vicky, Amrit Kaur, Shashi Chaudhry, and Zainab Khan, all expressing sorrow over his sudden departure.
As the community gathers to arrange the farewell Venu deserves, they encourage anyone who knew him to reach out and attend the funeral when details are finalized.
May Venu Gunti rest in peace, and may those who knew him find comfort. Our thoughts and prayers are with his loved ones and the Sydney community during this difficult time.
