December 13, 1975 – October 9, 2024
It is with a heavy heart and great sadness to announce the untimely death of Dr. Sandeep Bhatt.
Sandeep Bhatt, MD PhD, 48, of League City, Texas, died on October 9, 2024. Sandeep was born on December 13, 1975 in Bombay, India to Dhananjay and Manjula Bhatt. Sandeep leaves behind his wife, Ashley Bhatt, children Ishaan (15) and Zara (11) Bhatt and his beloved dog Marcus, Brother Babul (Mohini) Bhatt and Mother Manjula Bhatt. Sandeep was welcomed in death by his father Dhananjay Bhatt.
Sandeep attended Mahatma Gandhi Mission College Navi Mumbai, where he completed his Medical Doctorates degree. He then moved to the United States where he completed his Ph.D. in Molecular and Cellular Neuroscience at Kent State University. He further went on to complete his residency in Internal Medicine at Canton Medical Education Foundation in Canton, Ohio. He then spent many great years working and serving his community as a hospitalist in Colorado and Texas. In 2020, he decided to further pursue his career and education, completing his fellowship in Neurocritical Care at UTMB Galveston. His final days were spent working in the neurointensive unit, lending his knowledge, expertise and compassion to the most critical patients and their families.
Sandeep shared many roles throughout his life. He was a father, a husband, a brother, a son, a friend, a colleague, a physician, a mentor, a sounding board, an advisor, the list is endless. If you asked Sandeep what his most prized accomplishment was he would tell you it was being a father. He loved being a father to Ishaan and Zara more than life itself. His world revolved around his children. He would tell you his second greatest accomplishment was marrying Ashley. The love he shared for her was remarkable and felt by anyone who knew him. Sandeep was always willing to help anyone and everyone in need whether it be a fellow colleague or a friend. His wisdom and guidance shaped the lives of many both professionally and personally.
Sandeep loved to travel and gain new experiences wherever he went, making sure that his family got to have the best experience and adventure with him along the way. Traveling all over the United States, sometimes on just a few hours notice. There was no adventure that was going to pass him by. Compiling hours worth of research, you knew that anywhere you went with Sandeep (even if it was just to the local coffee shop), you would know everything there was to know before you left. Sandeep loved food, anyone who knew him knew he was always in search of a great place to eat, whether that be recipes to cook at home, restaurants to try or a good food truck he randomly stumbled across. Sandeep also loved the outdoors. He always wanted to be moving and outside, enjoying the fresh air and nature.
His loss will forever be felt in the lives he has touched.
A Memorial Service will be held at Jeter Memorial Funeral Home, 311 N Friendswood Dr. Friendswood, Texas 77546 on Monday October 14, 2024 at 9:00 AM.

Sandeep was a school friend it was shocking to hear about his demise. He was very much active on our school whatsapp group till few months back. Friend you will be missed. Rest in peace.
Rest in peace my friend. Though we didn’t meet after school, your messages on our group kept us connected. You will be missed!
Sandeep was a childhood friend of mine. We used to live in the same neighbourhood in India. I remember his intelligence, compassion and witty remarks.
In grade 9, I had a sore throat and sat next to him in class. Upon learning, he checked my throat and said, 'You are going to fall sick.' I shrugged off his comment, but sure enough, I woke up sick the very next day, highlighting his awareness of health conditions at an early age.
My deepest condolences to his family during this difficult time. Rest in peace, dear Sandeep. I will miss you, buddy.
I have known Chinu for almost 45 years, we grew together in the same building. All the fun, fights and things that children from Bombay suburbs do in their growing years. If I can use one word, he was special and still cannot forget my last meeting with him. Heartfelt condolences to Ashley, Babul, Aunty, his extended family. We will miss you my friend! Rest in peace.
R I P, Dear Chinu.
My deepest condolences to the family.
What a gentle soul he had, loved working with him. I know he is in a better place.
Condolences to wife Ashly, who I know loved each other dearly, to his kids and his extended family and friends.
I knew Sandeep during my residency intern year. We had most of the rotations together. I still have best memories of him pushing me to think out of box, delivering better pt care, then talking about best restaurants in town or talking about kids. He was truly amazing friend and great mentor. Sandeep truly left a great example to all of us to achieve the dreams no matter what’s happening in personal life. He is so inspirational. He was a fighter and loved his life to the fullest. Ashley, sending my prayers to you and kids.
I worked alongside Sandeep as a nurse in Colorado. When I think of Sandeep I envision his smiling face and laugh. His presence will forever be felt.
My heart is so heavy , I cannot believe he is gone. I worked with Dr Bhatt at Parker hospital. Great man. Could always make you laugh. Such a great doc. I am so sorry for his family’s loss 🌼🌼🌼
So very sorry Ashley. Sending hugs and love
Deepest condolences to family members 🙏🙏🙏 om shanti 🙏

I sincerely hoped and prayed that you would get through this tough phase too, but it wasn’t meant to be.
You lived every day of your life to the fullest and went every distance to be there for your lovely children. At this time, my thoughts are with your family. May God give them the strength to handle this loss.

Wished I had a chance to see him once again. It's not possible anymore.
May god give strength to the family.

It was pleasure to know and work with Sandeep. He was intelligent and had an incredible whit. He was an excellent and kind physician taking great care of patients. His love for his children and Ashley was obvious when speaking with him. Rest in peace Sandeep. I will forever be waiting for you to come around the corner at the hospital with a big grin on your face.
I worked with Sandeep at Parker Hospital and so much enjoyed collaborating with him for patient care, but also enjoyed getting to know him as a person. It was wonderful seeing all the happy pictures on Facebook over the years that followed. So sorry to hear of his passing.
Gone from our sight but will always be our hearts.
I have known Sandeep since our days in medical school. He had always shown a strong will and determination. Prior to pursuing medicine, he was also involved in the field of engineering. Sandeep was a highly accomplished individual, with diverse interests and talents. He has touched many lives and he will always miss him.
Rest in Peace Dr Sandeep.
Still can't believe the news…
Sandeep was my childhood buddy..Still remember us studying together in your house…
No words to express…
RIP …
Dear Chinu, I am grateful to have met you and to call you my uncle. You were so inspiring, smart, and brave through adversity, and I remember all the laughs and good times with you and family when we were in Bombay. Wish we spent more time together.
Rest easy.
It’s shocking and very sad to hear the news. Sandeep, RIP. My deepest condolences to the family! 🙏🙏
To a fine physician and a dear friend, I will miss you Sandeep. It’s not goodbye, it’s see you later.
I met Sandeep as my intern during residency. He was my senior supervising resident. He was great with his subject and was a great teacher. His calm and cool attitude was unique. He was very confident and he was a great senior. He was very helpful.
He was young and it is heartbreaking to hear this.
I wish and pray for Grace and peace to Ashley and his kids. Grief is a very complex feeling. Pleas lean on friends and family Ashley. Hugs…🙏🫂
My school bestie, it's shocking. I am so glad and lucky to have met you. Thank you for all the coaching talks, I still remember them and I have implemented them as well. Gone too soon 😢 you will be missed. RIP, my dear friend 🫂
Rest in peace. Though we did not have the chance to meet, your impact on those around you will always be remembered and cherished.
In loving memory of Sandeep, a devoted husband, an extraordinary father and brother and above all, the strongest person I have come across. You fought this tough battle hard and didn't let your perseverance falter or your will waver till the end and in the process, helped your loved ones stay strong and hopeful. Though I missed the chance of meeting you, I always adored your unwavering focus and dedication to the family. You provided guidance, support, and love, always putting your loved ones first. Despite fighting a battle of your own, your constant care and support during my difficult moments is a true reflection of the man you were and how you have touched many lives in the kindest ways. Your infectious curiosity, playful wit, passion for life mixed with a tough on the outside but soft on the inside personality brought in so much of joy and excitement in our lives. Though you are no longer with us, the legacy of joy, compassion, and commitment to family you leave behind will forever inspire us. You will always remain in our hearts, guiding us with the love you shared.
I am still in shock. May you rest in peace. Will miss your sense of humor and most importantly you as a person. You brought joy to many. Praying for family and loved ones in this tough time.
This came as a shock that to many of us. I will always miss you Chinubhai and will always treasure brief time we spent togather during my childhood. Thanchu (a special word we shared) for all the great moments you shared with all of us !
Sandeep, not fair, too early. All I know about you is through your brother Babul. Om shantih om.
Dr. Bhatt – You were unlike anyone else. The fun we had and the patients lives that you changed will not be forgotten. I will miss your sense of humor, your willingness to always help anyone and your love for your family. Until we meet again, my friend.
