Honoring Lava Kumar: A Memorial and Fundraiser in His Loving Memory It is with deep sorrow that we remember Lava Kumar, a cherished member of the RHWB community, who passed away suddenly in September at the age of 58. Lava was more than a disciplined runner and avid hiker—he was a kind, humble soul whose warmth and generosity touched everyone he met. His spiritual outlook inspired kindness and compassion, and his ever-present smile reflected his winsome perspective on life. Lava was a devoted husband to Sunitha Kumar, a fellow RHWB runner, and a loving father to Meghana and Sanjana Kumar. Outside his successful career as a technologist, his greatest joys were his family, running marathons, hiking trails, and his deep devotion to prayers and meditation. In his honor, RHWB Events, a nonprofit organization, is hosting a memorial fundraiser to support his younger daughter, Sanjana, as she completes medical school at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. Sanjana’s aspiration of becoming a compassionate physician reflects her father’s values of service and selflessness. By contributing to this fundraiser, you help Sanjana achieve her goal while honoring Lava’s legacy of kindness and generosity.
