Dr. Ramesh Chandra Obituary
The son of H.K. Ramachandra, a lawyer, and P.S. Lalithamma, a schoolteacher, Ramesh was born on May 31, 1958 in Bangalore, India. He was raised there along with his two brothers, Prakash and Satish. He attended National College and earned his degree in medicine from Bangalore Medical College.
Ramesh married Seetha Chandra (née Magge) on June 11, 1981 and the two of them moved to the United States soon after, ultimately settling in Pittsburgh, PA to begin their medical careers and start their family. Through the Cardiology practice he founded, Ramesh was dedicated to improving the lives of his patients in the Pittsburgh community for nearly 45 years. He was known by colleagues and patients for his expertise, sense of humor, and compassion.
A devoted husband, father, grandfather, uncle, and friend, Ramesh was full of life and love. He had a passion for bringing people together and was always the life of the party. He was filled with enthusiasm for exploring new places, cultures, and foods. He was a loyal fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers and passed while watching his team get a win one last time. He adored his children and grandchildren and was dedicated to giving each of them his endless support, guidance, and love. He cherished his wife and every moment they spent together over four decades of marriage.
Ramesh is survived by his mother P.S. Lalithamma, wife Seetha, children Anita (Ramiro De La Guerra) and Ashwin (Lauren Covington), and grandchildren Niam and Devi.

With heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Dr Ramesh Chandra. I am so sorry for your loss. I am Truly heartbroken to hear such shocking news.
I'm disappointed that the practice didn't notify me to make me aware that my cardiologist of 24 years passed away. I met him in 2000 when Braddock hospital was up and in Service, he was my Cardiologist every since. I tried to set up a appointment on my UPMC App. No response. So I had an appointment with my Health Insurance company at my home as we're updating my all of my doctor's that takes care of me. (He always gave me words of hope and encouragement and took the time with integrity to take care of me at his best ) Then only to look up his name and seen his obituary . What a tremendous loss for his family and friends and to the Medical Industry. Dr Ramesh Chandra will be Truly Missed.

I just received a letter from Alliance Cardiology in which this is when I found out that Dr. Ramesh Chandra had passed away. This was a shock to me. I met him at UPMC East when I was admitted due to problems with my heart and blood. He was very attentive to my needs and made sure I was well taken care of. I appreciated having him as my Cardiologist in which he was sent by God. I am truly going to miss Dr. Chandra. My prayer and condolences to his family.

I am so very sorry to hear of Dr Chandra's passing. I worked with Dr Chandra from 1990 to 1999. He was a very caring doctor and very nice man to work with. It's a great loss to his patients and his profession... he will surely be missed.
