Obituary: Mr. Naveen Prakash Kotian (03 September 1969 – 11 September 2024)
With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Mr. Naveen Prakash Kotian, a beloved husband, father, and cherished member of the community. Born on September 3, 1969, Naveen lived 55 impactful years, touching the lives of many with his warmth, kindness, and unwavering faith. He went to be with the Lord on September 11, 2024, leaving behind a legacy of love and devotion.
Naveen was the devoted husband of Mrs. Janet Jayamani and the proud father of Nelvin Julit, both of whom he adored and cherished. His family was his pride, and he worked tirelessly to provide for them, including his many years of dedicated service in Qatar. Though he lived away from home for much of his career, his heart always belonged to his roots and his community in Karkala.
The mortal remains of Mr. Naveen Prakash Kotian will be kept at his residence, “Karunya,” located at 3rd Cross, Binda Nagar, Kuntalpady, Karkala, Udupi 574104, where loved ones can come together to pay their respects. The funeral cortege will depart from the residence at 3:30 PM on September 20, 2024, proceeding to the Church Cemetery at Parpale, Karkala, for the final rites at 4:00 PM.
A devout member of the CSI Bethanya Church in Karkala, Naveen’s faith was central to his life. He drew strength and purpose from his belief in Christ, embodying humility, compassion, and generosity in all that he did. As it is written, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith” (2 Timothy 4:7). These words reflect the journey of a man who lived with integrity, resilience, and a deep sense of spiritual peace.
Naveen will be deeply missed by all who knew him — his family, friends, colleagues, and fellow church members — but his memory will live on in the hearts of those he touched. His love for his family, commitment to his faith, and his gentle spirit will forever remain an inspiration.
