Ashok R. Prasad

Ashok R. Prasad, age 60. April 20, 2017. Beloved husband of Terry Prasad for 35 years. Loving father of Alex (Fiancée Olivia Juntila) Prasad and Haley Prasad. Dear son of Ananda and Aryabala Prasad. Brother of Dr. Rita Eckenrode, Drs. Sheila (Bachir) Meftah, and Audrey (Michael) Takacs. Mr. Prasad is also survived by many nieces, nephews, and cousins. Ashok was the kindest, most gentle and selfless husband humanely possible. Most of all, he loved just being with his wife, Terry. He was undoubtedly the glue of his family and often said to Terry, “You and the kids are my world.” Ashok graduated from the University of Michigan - Ann Arbor in 1978 and from Wayne State University School of Medicine, where his father continues to be a tenured professor, in 1982. He started practicing medicine with two of his Wayne State classmates, Kurt Hesse, MD, and Charles Godoshian, MD, and continued to care for his patients for the 35 years since. Ashok loved seeing patients so much he often frustrated his staff by taking so long with each patient! It was a rare occasion when Ashok did something for himself rather than others, but he did love attending Red Wings and Tigers games. However, nothing (to him) beat wearing a Michigan polo on a clear fall Saturday afternoon, marching up Main Street to a Michigan football game with family and friends. We expect that’s exactly how he arrived at the pearly gates - too soon - a few days ago. His was a life well-lived; he will be dearly missed by all. ***The family would like friends and family to wear something the represents the University of Michigan.*** Visitation at the O’Brien/Sullivan Funeral Home, 41555 Grand River Avenue, Novi 248-348-1800 on Friday, April 28, 2017 from 2:00 PM – 9:00 PM.
