Neesha Kuratek

Life is tough .... Perhaps her mind was too much for this world . I´ll see you for laughs in the after life ...... we miss you now , but will reunite again.

Neesha was a dear friend of mine from college. You couldn´t miss her when she walked in a room. Her energy and enthusiasm was captivating! I always admired Neesha´s need to exceed at everything she set her mind to. That girl made it her mission to graduate early! We went our separate ways when Neesh moved to New York to live out her dreams, but made an effort to catch up annually. I visited her in NY and we would do day dates in LA. The last time I talked to Neesha was late 2022. I was...

I am devastated. I worked with Neesha when we interned together early in our careers. We lost contact over the years, but I read Controlled during the pandemic and she reached out to me last year for career advice. Neesha was talented and wise beyond her years and I'm devasted that I could not have done more to be there for her. Sending her all of my love.

In loving memory of a wonderful human. Neesha was so fun, funny, beautiful, & full of life (and smart). Instead of mourning, I want to remember positive things of her. I know Neesha would want to be remembered in that way. Neesha was a leader and made an impact on people around her and will not be forgotten! Rest in Peace

I am so very sad for your loss,

Neesha and I bonded while in middle/high school, at Sandia Prep School and maintained our friendship over the years - at times closely, at times more loosely. Nevertheless, we could always talk as though we never skipped a beat. She had a twinkle in her eye, and won over many with her quick wit and ability to see the best in those around her. I now can see that she internalized a lot of personal pain by showing support for her friends.. I will never forget how much she supported me being a...

Neesha was an inspiration to everyone who was lucky enough to meet her. She was simultaneously fierce and joyful. Neesha wore her heart on her sleeve, she was open and authentic in a very rare way. A loyal friend, she would always be there for people in her life. Her smile, laugh, and warm, listening presence made you feel truly seen and heard. At a very young age, she was able to turn an incredibly challenging experience into a beautiful memoir. Her words, like her memory, leave a legacy....

It´s with great sadness to hear of Neeshas passing. Her smile, her laughter and genuine love was seen throughout her life. She had a way about her that made everyone smile. A sincere heartfelt condolence to Rohini and Dave and Nick and to all those who loved her. May the memory of her smile continue to light up a room!

I met Neesha in 2023, we became good friends almost immediately. As an entertainment publicist, I was so impressed with her work and what she had accomplished at only 32. She had so much more to give us, I just wish she would have had the time. I'm heartbroken that she is gone and I never had a chance to say goodbye. I will miss our hour-long talks and her aspirations to turn her memoir into a film. I will miss her dearly.
