"It is with great sadness that we share that our beloved Vishwa is no more," a GoFundMe campaign dedicated to 47-year-old Vishwachand Kolla reads. "His last moments in this life were spent doing what he loved to do: helping everyone in need."
Kolla was picking up a visiting musician from Logan Airport when he was struck and killed by a coach bus on the Terminal B Lower Roadway around 5 p.m. on Monday, March 27.
The bus was owned by Dartmouth Transportation Company in Concord, NH, authorities said.
The driver, a 54-year-old woman, refused medical treatment and was interviewed by State Troopers who are investigating the incident. So far, no charges have been filed.
Meanwhile, Kolla's family is dealing with the loss of their patriarch who was not only their primary source of income, but also a devoted member of society.
"Vishwa was an integral part of Lexington and the Greater Boston Community. He was a gentle spiritual soul, a great teacher, mentor, innovator, and leader," the GoFundMe reads.
"His departure has left a void among the community, particularly youth whom he nurtured through personality development programs," the campaign continued. "He was a lighthouse of knowledge...lighting the way for so many. Above all, he was a doting dad and a loving husband."
Kolla leaves behind his wife Soujanya and two sons, Madhav and Dhruva. The purpose of the GoFundMe is to help the family with unexpected expenses in the wake of Kolla's death as well as prepare for the boys' college education. People interested in donating can click here.
