Santosh Kumar Acharjee
1945 - 2024
It is with heavy heart that we announce the passing of our beloved Santosh (Sandy), who left this world peacefully on Friday, February 16, 2024, at Cleveland's University Hospital. He was a cherished husband, father, grandfather, friend, and mentor to many. His legacy will forever remain etched in our hearts.
Born on February 14, 1945, Santosh touched the lives of everyone he encountered. His kindness, wisdom, and unwavering love enriched our lives in countless ways. As a manufacturing engineer, he dedicated himself to developing cutting-edge manufacturing processes for Curtis-Wright Farris Engineering, where he worked for 43+ years. His work allowed Sandy to live in Germany, Canada, Brazil, the UK, China, and mainly the USA, where he retired as Director of Manufacturing Engineering.
In October 2006, Sandy, a devout orthodox Hindu, fell very sick and experienced a near-death experience. He vividly saw Heaven's gates and conversed with God, who sent him back and gave one directive and five instructions. Sandy fully achieved his directive and instructions and wrote three books, Code Blue 99 - A Miraculous True Story!; The Light, Truth and The Way; and My Encounter with Jesus at Heaven's Gates. He participated in numerous missions and charitable causes, was an active congregant of the Grace Church in Middleburg Heights, OH, where he was baptized in April 2015. He was featured in numerous interviews and talks about his experience and has been featured in a number of books, documentaries, and an upcoming movie.
Santosh is survived by his wife Jharna (Janet), and they recently celebrated their 54th wedding anniversary; his daughter Sandra; son Sumon and his spouse Aparna, along with his granddaughters Ankita and Kashvi. All who knew him would miss his warm smile and gentle guidance.
