Sanjeev Kumar Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Acres West Funeral Chapel and Crematory - West Odessa on Jan. 23, 2026.
Sanjeev Kumar, a cherished family man, and a passionate lover of life's simple pleasures, passed away peacefully on January 16, 2026, in Odessa, Texas. Born on July 5, 1976, in India, Sanjeev's journey was one marked by laughter, love, and the joy of exploration.

Sanjeev's life was a testament to the bonds of family and the enduring spirit of adventure. His survivors include his wife, Poonam Kaur. He was a devoted father to his two sons, Ekam and Harveer Kumar, and a loving daughter, Herjinder Kaur were his pride and the apple of his eye. His brother, was Harkamaljit Kumar.

With every chance he got, Sanjeev seized the opportunity to travel and create memories with his family. His love for new experiences was only matched by his passion for cricket, a sport that not only provided him with endless hours of enjoyment but also taught him the value of teamwork and perseverance. Sanjeev's zest for life was contagious, and he often became the life of the party on family vacations, spreading his infectious laughter and warmth.

Sanjeev's professional life was marked by dedication and a strong work ethic, but it was his personal life that truly defined him. He was a pillar of strength for his family, always there to offer a listening ear, a helping hand, or a word of encouragement. His wisdom and guidance were the foundations upon which his children built their dreams, and his legacy of kindness and compassion continues to live on through them.

The void left by Sanjeev's passing is immeasurable, but the memories he created with those he loved will forever be cherished. His remarkable journey from the vibrant landscapes of India to the heart of Odessa, Texas, is a narrative of a life well-lived and well-loved. Sanjeev's story does not end with his passing but continues through the lives of those he touched with his generous spirit and his unwavering love.

As we bid farewell to Sanjeev Kumar, we celebrate a life that was rich in experiences and abundant in love. He may have departed from this world, but his essence will forever remain in the hearts of his beloved family and friends. Sanjeev's laughter, his passion for cricket, and his love for exploration will continue to inspire all who had the privilege of knowing him. Rest in peace, Sanjeev; your journey was one of joy, your life a tapestry of cherished moments.
