Published by Legacy Remembers on Mar. 16, 2021.
On March 14, 2021, Sanjeev Shankar passed away at the age of 60. He is survived by his wife, Sunita Shankar, and his sons, Rohan and Sameer Nair. Sanjeev was born in Trivandrum, India. He received his Bachelor of Engineering at SJCE in Mysore, and his Master of Engineering from Virginia Tech. Sanjeev was a cybersecurity expert, and spent most of his career in software leadership roles in Waterloo. Sanjeev is best known for his fitness, humour, and his love of music and learning. He was an enthusiastic conversationalist, and was often leaned on for advice. He was an instigator of many adventures and fun memories with his very large circle of friends. His dog Misty helped him stay fit as he walked the neighbourhood, sharing a smile and a warm conversation with anyone who would spare a chat. Sanjeev's family and close friends will be holding a private memorial, and funeral, on Tuesday.

I was shocked to hear about Sanjeev’s passing. His parents and mine were close friends in Mysore. Growing up on CFTRI campus, we knew most families but the Nairs and the Ramanathans had a special connection! I saw Malati aunty in Mysore in 2015 when she visited my mom after my dad passed away. She was so proud of her two bright and friendly sons, Sanjeev and Manoj!
My mom, Leela, and sister Geetha Natarajan, join me in conveying our sincere condolences to Rani, Rohan, Sameer, Malati aunty and Manoj.
