Gurnam 'Sunny' Sodhi 1979 - 2008 On Saturday, September 21, 2008, Sunny, my best friend, had a severe allergic (anaphylactic) reaction while having dinner with friends in Toronto. The reaction was very sudden and very severe, and sadly he passed away. Sunny was in his final year of law school at the University of Toronto and had a passion for international humanitarian relief. He recently returned from two summer internships abroad. First, he worked with Doctors without Borders in Amsterdam, where he investigated crimes against humanity in Sudan and other regions of the world, and second, he interned at a large law firm in India, AZB Partners. These summer internships added to an already impressive background in international humanitarian work, including 9 months in Indonesia with Doctors without Borders in 2005 to help with post-tsunami relief efforts, and a summer in Malawi in 2007 with Dignitas International to implement community-based healthcare programs. He also had an undergraduate degree in Systems Design Engineering from the University of Waterloo (Class of 2003), where he won the Sanford Fleming Excellence in Design award for an engineering project he later filed a provisional patent for. Sunny has touched many lives and his memory continues to flourish. We miss him so much. You may select another name from the memorials list, or return to our home page:
