Ashana Jha
November 14, 1996 ~ April 5, 2022
Born in:
Patna, India
Resided in:
Fremont, California
Ashana Jha passed away on the fifth of April, 2022, at the tender age of 25. She leaves behind her mother and father, Jayanti and Sanjeev Jha of Fremont, CA; and brother, Alekh Jha of Cary, NC. Ashana was born in Patna, India and she lived for most of her life in Fremont, CA, moving there at the age of nine. When she was 21, Ashana moved to the suburbs of Detroit to attempt an independent adult life. After three years she moved back to Fremont where she spent the rest of her days.
Ashana’s life was a complex and difficult one, and her tragic story deserves to be told and shared. But it is not a story to which justice can be done if it were made to fit into an obituary. Further below, you will find The Story of Ashana Jha, where a detailed account of her birth, life, and death are presented. We hope you will consider reading it.
A private memorial service for family and close friends will be held at the Chapel of the Angels in Fremont (40842 Fremont Blvd, Fremont, CA 94538) on Saturday, the sixteenth of April, 2022, from 2:00 to 4:00 PM. The memorial service will be followed by Ashana’s cremation.
Dear Ashana – may you finally find true peace, as you rest in your eternal slumber.

I remember when I met you back in 7 th grade you were a kind hearted and an amazing friend. From middle-school to high-school you stood by my side as a strong friend . I will cherish all the memories from middle school that I had with you. My deepest condolences to her close family and friends. We will all miss you!!! RIP my friend
A sweet delight
A soul burning bright
Loving life with unwavering might
Never stepping back without a fight
Searching, seeking
Feeling, weeping
But never the fallen
With every fall , every loss
The undying spirit of love rose again
Love triumphs always
No matter the deathly darkness
Of hate, cruelty, injustice, indifference
Stumble you may
Crumble you can
Crush you cannot the streams of joy
The rush of compassion
The strength of passion
Can it be so complicated
To simply embrace and rejoice
To hold and hug
To open our hearts to every soul
For, are we not simply the reflection
Of each other, bonded in the everlasting
Cycle of life and death….
See you again Ashana, Love Ragini Mami 💐

You r very cute, innocent, full of energy. Our close association with ur parents, during our stay in USA for 4 yrs had made you a member of our extended family. We have so many fond memories, which will always be cherished.
No words to describe the void created in ur absence. I pray for ur eternal peace and God give strength to Sanjeev & Jayanti to bear this irreparable loss.
RIP 🙏🏻

You have been through a lot since you were born. Since your birth we have spent a lot of time together on and off until January of 2022 when I spent one week with you in Fremont, CA.
From 2018 to December of 2020 you were an administrative assistant in my office and you were extremely smart and learned everything quickly including billing and medical scribing. You learned how to test urine and many other tasks in the office. You were pleasant, nice to patients and to staff. We have missed you since you left in January of 2021.
We had a special connection that only you and I understood and I will always cherish that. I am really sorry that I could not help you in the ways that you needed me to. I feel that I have failed you and I will never forgive myself for that. I am sorry that you did not have the support that you needed. Please forgive us all.
Now that you have gone I wish you all the happiness wherever you are. You are in my prayers every day. I love you.

Wishing you peace and happiness
A poem for your loved ones specially for Nicky and Sanjeev , your parents who brought you into this world :
‘ You can shed tears that she is gone
Or you can smile because she has lived
You can close your eyes and pray that she will come back
Or you can open your eyes and see all that she has left
Your heart can be empty because you can’t see her
Or you can be full of the love that you shared
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday
You can remember her and only that she is gone
Or you can cherish her memory and let it live on
You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back
Or you can do what she would want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.’’
I can’t believe your gone. I was crying when I found out. I know you tried your hardest to fight and live through this life. I’m glad you found support and an outlet through music which you were pretty great at. 😇
I will miss our boba hangs, parking lot talks, and just cruising in the car with you, pride\advocacy events and nightlife.
I remember one of your favorites was chocolate boba milk tea so I’m getting one in your honor.
You were a great friend to me and awesome advocate in the disability\lgbt community. I’m glad you could get good support from CrIL and I. ❤️
Sending prayers up! 🙏
I would never have felt ready to say goodbye to you, but this timing feels especially tough. It’s going to take time to get through the shock of this loss. I’m not sure what to say in the face of such a difficult loss. Just want you to know that I’m going to miss you so much.
You were so kind, and innocent. You amazed me with your empathy towards animals.
It breaks my heart to know what you went through and how you must have felt throughout. I feel really helpless right now and wish that I could’ve helped you in any way possible.
I will always cherish the memories I had of you – your music, your paintings, our conversations, you speaking in Hindi with all of us and all the dancing you did on bollywood songs.
Sending strength and healing energies to Mama ji, Mami ji and Alekh Bhaiya.
You will be forever in my thoughts. I hope you find peace.
Rest easy, Ashana 🕊️🤍
May God give the strength to the family to cope up with the irreparable loss and rest Ashana’s soul to peace. Om Shanti!!🙏🙏
So many thoughts still running through my mind and maybe one day I’ll be able to process everything that happened but for now I hope that wherever you are, you’re at peace. Love you so much always.
We are so sorry to hear the sad news of Ashana’s sudden untimely passing away. May God give you and your family the strength to bear this immense loss. May Ashana’s soul rest in eternal peace. 🕉🙏🙏
Ashana sada hmare hriday ke pass rahegi.
Om Shanti🙏
Om Shanti 🙏
Matured life was just to begin. But sudden end of the journey.Very sad and painful.
The untimely death of Ashana is a matter of great sorrow!!!
There are some things which are very hard to elucidate ,specifically in these hard times ,the memories that I have with you are very vibrant and heart warming ,it’s very hard for me to digest I miss you so much ❤️🫂
You were a great friend and coworker. We always had the best of times working together. From our silly conversations where we just made each other laugh to our serious conversations where we talked about things that we wanted to improve on. You were always a good friend and a great listener. You were always determined in the things that you did, from your music to pursuing school, to even learning how to do billing.
Work has never been the same since you left. It is hard to believe that you are not here with us anymore. You will always be in our memories. Keep making music wherever you are. We love you.

Tum aur tumhari yaadein humesha mere saath rahengi.
Tum jahan bhi raho khush raho.❤💐🌸🌸
She was always chill as we chat as we got to know each other. How we met?
Hospital in our teen year.
We have similar interest for our time.
After we got out. We kept in touch.
I supported her music.
Today 4/15 as I just saw as it hurt my soul that she pass away.
My condolences to Ashana family and love one as I share!
She in a better place as she rap and vibes.

Pankaj Sinha To Ashana
Seeing you depart at this youthful age of 24 is heartbreaking. Sure, the life had been unfair to you. Right from your birth, insufficient supply of oxygen leading to a physical disability and then drug addiction and finally rejecting this world for a better life elsewhere.
You must have gone through a lot to choose this dark path. I am disgusted to see that as family we could do nothing and sat as bystander to lose an innocent and beautiful life.
I still remember a summer afternoon in 2007 when you were in a downtown Manhattan Primary school, and I came out from my corporate headquarter office and spotted you in your school yard sitting on a bench. All other boy/girls were running around pushing and playing with each other. Obviously, you were a non-participant for your own safety. We waived our hands to each other. I could read the explanation on your face.
Will always remember you with fondness Wish you a peaceful journey and restful life.
Good Bye and Love from Pankaj Nana

Rest in eternal peace where there is no pain or sorrow.
I met Ashna many years ago when she came to the Glankler Medical Therapy Unit for the first time. My memory of her was a bright light and her smile lite up the room. Over the years I looked forward to seeing her during her yearly clinic visits and I loved the very adult conversations we were able to have. After she “graduated” from Glankler she continued to light up the room with her picture that is still hanging in the department today. I am so saddened by the course her life took and only hope she found some peace in the end. My heart is breaking for her family. May the happy times you had with her live forever in your hearts.

I remember you as a bubbly little girl. You had a special energy and vivaciousness to you. Thank you so much for being a part of our life.
I understand that Ashana had struggled in many aspects of her life. She also brought love and light to so many people and the world was a better place for having her in it. I am heartbroken that she is no longer here but am comforted that she is now at peace forever.
My deepest and sincerest condolences go out to her family and her friends. May she live on in all of our hearts and memories.
Deeply saddened. It is hard to believe and comprehend that you are not with us anymore. I will always remember and cherish the wonderful times we spent together. You were the liveliest and sweetest soul and had a infectious laugh. Wish we had more time with you, will miss you a lot.
May you find peace.
You will be forever in our thoughts.
Rest In Peace, Ashana
May God give your soul eternal peace!
Your beautiful smiling face will always be alive in our heart.
Love,
In the few meetings we had, you were always sharp, kind and smiling. It’s deeply sorrowful to learn that you are no more with us.
May you find peace.
My deepest condolences to your family.
Ashana will always be in our hearts:) Thank you all for the beautiful messages you have written for her.
We are eternally grateful,
Jayanti and Sanjeev
