Dr. K. Narayan Shetty, the youngest and eighth child of Sri Sowkur Laxman Shetty and Smt. Kandavara Bhagirathi Shetty, passed away peacefully on July 3, 2025, at his residence in Florida, USA.
Dr. Narayan Shetty was a proud alumnus of Kasturba Medical College, Manipal. With a firm grounding in academic excellence and a desire to serve humanity, he pursued higher medical studies in the United States. He went on to establish a successful and respected career as a cardiologist in Pittsburgh, becoming a pillar of the community where he practiced until his retirement in 2014.
Dr. Narayan Shetty's medical journey was distinguished further by his deep compassion and extraordinary philanthropy. In memory of his beloved wife, the late Lila Shetty, he founded the Lila Narayan Shetty Cancer Research Institute and the Lila Narayan Shetty Neuro-Sciences Research Institute in India - two institutions that continue to be emblematic of hope, research, and care.
Following his retirement, he made his home in Tampa, Florida creating treasured memories and pursuing adventures with a close, cherished circle of friends
While he was a beloved friend to many, his deepest passion was reserved for his family. He brought laughter, warmth and generosity to his family, creating countless joyful moments and lasting memories.
He is survived by his son, Dr. Sarvotham Shetty, and daugher-in-law Malavika in Pennsylvania and his daughter, Nina Shetty and son-in-law Debasis Saha in California. He was the proud grandfather of Ethan, Rohan, Avant, Ishaan and Sajal and was loved by extended family and friends.
Dr Shetty embraced life with great joy, bringing love and laughter to everyone he met. He leaves behind a rich legacy of compassion, dedication and a life well lived.
