Ajay Mehra

Ajay Kumar Mehra, age 61, of Rochester, MN passed away peacefully and surrounded by his family on January 29, 2025 at Rochester Methodist Hospital.

Ajay was a beloved member of his community of family and friends in India, and he was a pillar of our Rochester community. Throughout his years, he wore many hats including educator, chef extraordinaire, and Scotch-connoisseur, but he was most proud of his roles as husband, father, friend and, most recently, grandfather. His loss has left a deep chasm in the community, and he will be greatly missed by many. We will continue to celebrate his life and legacy by sharing the vibrant memories he created with his communities. Although we will miss Ajay's physical presence, we ask you to think of him fondly the next time you cook your favorite dish, listen to a classic Indian medley, or when you raise a toast.

Ajay is survived by his loving wife, Alka, his daughter, Aakriti, son-in-law, Ryan, grandson, Remy, and grand-doggy, Penny. He is also survived by his brother, sisters-in-law, brother-in-law, nieces, nephews, and his beloved mother and mother-in-law.

Services will be held from 9-11 AM on Saturday, February 1, 2025 at Ranfranz and Vine Funeral Home, 5421 Royal Place NW, Rochester, MN, with a luncheon to follow.
