Kiran J. Dave, 81, passed away peacefully on May 6, 2025, in Fort Worth, Texas. Born in Bombay, India, Kiran built a remarkable life rooted in care, intellect, and joy. As a skilled orthopedic surgeon, he dedicated his career to healing others, and outside of work, he embraced life fully — whether cheering for a cricket match, enjoying a game of tennis, traveling the world, following the stock market, or simply sharing a scotch and soda with dear friends. His zest for life and magnetic personality left a lasting impression on everyone he met. Kiran cherished his family above all. He is survived by his beloved wife, Arvinda Dave; his children, Varshal Dave (Maureen) and Tejal Wible (Jason); and his adored grandchildren, Zara, Nikhil, Elena, and Bela. He was preceded in death by his parents, Jayendra and Mrudula, and his siblings Dhamu, Bhupesh, Prabhuta, Kunta, and Kush. Kiran was known for his warmth, humor, and optimism. A true force of nature, he had an infectious spirit and often reminded those around him: "Be happy and don't worry." His light will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered. A service to celebrate his life will be held on May 9, 2025, at 1:00 PM at Thompson's Harveson and Cole Funeral Home in Fort Worth, TX. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to the American Heart Association or the American Lung Association in his memory.
