Om Shree Ganeshaye Namah Dear families and friends It will take a very long time to describe my wonderful Jija, but I will keep it brief. May I say that I was very fortunate to be associated with my Jija, He had a great personality, a great teacher, very grounded, forever smiling, caring, a great role model to many people, including me. Jija, Your presence always lit the room. To honour this, I will try to emulate your wonderful qualities in my personal life. I have personally received so many messages, phone calls from families and friends from Fiji, New Zealand, Australia, USA, Canada, UK and Switzerland. To all families and friends who are present here, and have travelled from Australia, and from various places in New Zealand, please accept my sincerest thanks for being here today. To my wonderful Jija, I will meet you again. Finally we all will cherish the wonderful memories that we had with you, my wonderful Jija and I know that you will be watching over us and guiding us in our lives. Om Shanti.

It is heartbreaking to see you go at such an early age Bhaiiya. I still remember playing with you when you were just 5, the time I started my Uni studies while I was staying with you all. Still remember how loving you all were. My heart goes out to bhabhi, Arti n family, Ruby and the two very lovely boys. May God give you all strength to overcome this difficult time. Our lovely nephew, " Bhaiiya", may your soul rest in peace beta. A charming and humble person you were beta. Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti.

Into your hands, O Lord, we humbly entrust our brother Avikash. In this life you embraced him with your tender love; deliver him now from every evil and bid him enter eternal rest. Welcome him then into paradise, where there will be no sorrow, no weeping nor pain, but the fullness of peace and joy with your Son and the Holy Spirit forever and ever.

Bhaiya, you went from being the most humble person to becoming a memory. A memory we all will treasure forever. We all are saddened that you left us all too early in life, you were an amazing son, brother, husband and a father. You were an amazing family member. Although we have not seen each other much as an adult but we will cherish the memories we made growing up whether it was in Ba or Suva barrack where we spent our school holidays. Your fua Kushma says she was so happy to see you and the family last year, she will cherish that forever. Bhaiya, how do we say goodbye. Bhaiya you will always be in the heart and soul of our entire family. We love you. Our condolences to the family during this difficult time.

My Dearest Friend ♥️ You have left us too soon. It was great having your companionship for all these years. I would always remember those moments with you, especially sitting down on Friday's for our favorite cava session catch ups. I would always remember those laughter and jokes you shared with me and my family, as we would talk for hours when sharing each other's happiness and sorrows. We have shared so much throughout the years. You were a very committed, diligent and hardworking person since I have known you. You will always be remembered as a true friend and your kind and loving nature. You will always be an example to everyone. May your soul rest in peace. Your legacy will forever be a guiding light. ❤️ - Shailendra Dewan and Family

Shailendra Dewan

Bhaiya, the form your soul took in this life had guided you to be very strong, calm, patient and extremely hard working. You have been always there for your Papa, mummy, Jijji and later in life with Bhabji and your precious kids. Your role in this life as a great human being, son, brother and father was fulfilled to the fullest from you. I will always cherish our memories and moments of laughter especially the days spent together in Tabataba, Ba and Nasova Barracks. You had this charismatic nature that attracted calmness and positivity. You have gone too soon but without any pain and suffering. You have left a great legacy and can be rest assured your kids have the right foundation and principles to carry your name forward. Thank you bhaiya and we pray that your soul always rests in peace and finds Moksha. Jai Shri Krishna. Our deepest condelenses, love and support are with the family Om Shanti Shanti Shanti. 🙏

My dearest nehphew can't imagine that you are no more. Wish that call never came with the terrible news you are no more. Wish when I met you in October last year you would have followed my advice. I have been questioning why why why and the purpose of your life???? You were remarkable human being apple of eye to both Sarmen and bhabi. Perfect husband to Ruby and outstanding father to your kids. As i was holding your hands yesterday felt spirit touched me and I knew both my Pitaji your grandfather and your dad my brother were present there and sense of relief was given knowing they have not left you alone but came to take you to your new home. Watch movies together and we will meet again one day

You have left us too soon, dear Bhaiya. It’s unimaginable to lose my first cousin, my Bhaiya. We are all deeply saddened and emotional over your early departure, but we pray to Lord Krishna to grant you eternal peace and a beautiful journey beyond. Rest high in peace, Bhaiya. Your presence will forever remain etched in our hearts, and your memories will continue to inspire and comfort us. Love you always, Bhaiya till we meet again. Om Shanti. Heartfelt condolences to the family during this difficult time.

Jyoti Sharma

Though life took us down different paths and kept us from being as close as we might have wished, the bond we share as family is undeniable. Your untimely departure is a reminder that family, no matter how far apart, always carries a special place in the heart. The times we did share, as kids growing up in barracks were filled with moments of fun, joy and laughter. Your spirit touched those around you. We will remember fondly the childhood moments we shared, and the thought of you will live on, a reminder that family is not just about proximity but about love, connection, and shared history. Rest in peace, dear brother. Your memory will always be cherished, even from the distance. Knowing our Soul is eternal, may your journey to lord be peaceful. Praying to mother to give strength to the grieving immediate family(mami, aarti, Bhaiya’s wife and kids) and whole family 💕 lots of love ❤️ Vandana Urmila Nand Satya Nand Pranjay, Roslyn and kids

I don’t regret the time we didn’t spend together, instead I cherish the moments I remember from my childhood growing up playing with you bro. Life gets in the way and we didn’t spend our adult years sitting together but that’s ok. One day we will meet again and have a drink for the times we missed.
