We are all gathered here to celebrate the life and mourn our loss of a great soul. Mahesh Patel passed away peacefully at age 78 on May 26th, 2022, after a long battle with cancer. He was born January 6th, 1944, in Dharmaj, Gujarat, India to Chandubhai and Vidyaben Patel. But his heart always lived in Calcutta.
He was a loving father, grandfather, and brother. His daughter and son-in-law lovingly called him Dad, his grandchildren adored him as their Dadaji. He was blessed and proud to have his grandsons Ishaan and Rushil in his life. During the past year they spent many happy days together in Houston. He was a reserved soul but felt family and friends were the most important things in his life. He persevered through many of life's challenges with dignity and strength.
Mahesh received his Accounting Degree with High Honors from St. Xavier’s College in Mumbai, India and came to the United States in 1976 with his then wife, Vibha. He enjoyed debating politics, reading spy novels, cooking, traveling, and spending time with family and friends.
He is survived by his loving daughter, Urmi, her husband, Mounang, and his grandchildren, Ishaan and Rushil. Additionally he is survived by his siblings Shrideviben, Surendrabhai, Pankajbhai, Pallaviben, Manojbhai, and Nalinakshabhai (deceased).
We would like to thank all our family members and dear friends for their heartfelt wishes, prayers and support.
Om Namah Shivaya
