Rakesh J. Sheth's Obituary
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Rakesh Jagdish Sheth, age 61, from Kihei, on February 3, 2025, due to end-stage kidney failure. Rakesh is survived by his two children, Hemang Sheth and Sanhita Sheth.
Rakesh was born in Mumbai, India and came to the U.S. at the young age of 17. He completed his undergraduate degree in accounting from the University of Hartford and his MBA from George Washington University. He later became a business consultant, starting his own company. Some of his passions included playing the guitar, listening to music, and traveling.
He was a loving father to his two children, always providing them with great opportunities and telling them they could do and achieve anything they wanted, encouraging them to follow their dreams. One thing Rakesh was known for by his family and friends and that he will always be remembered for is his giving nature, always wanting to help others. Each year on his birthday, he would make donations to St. Jude Children’s Hospital showing his desire to help those in need.
Rakesh will always be one of the biggest inspirations to his children, who will continue to spread their father’s legacy in helping others and creating a positive impact on the world.
