Always thinking of you

Baldeep, I was in awe of you when I met you. You told me your story and introduced me to your beautiful stallion, and told me you had only been riding for 7 years. The way you rode and the relationship you had with your boy told me everything I needed to know - you were born to ride. You really were an inspiration to me, I so much admired the life you had created for yourself - your beautiful family, stunning home (with all the bells and whistles a horse person could dream of!), successful businesses and a successful riding career. Someone who had it all AND had an absolute heart of gold. You came from nothing yet you created everything you could dream of through unwavering dedication and ambition. Baldeep, thank you for your kindness, your warmth and generosity. Thank you for welcoming me like an old friend into your home. The world would truly be a brighter place if there were more Baldeep’s in it. May you rest in peace. Your legacy in our community will never be forgotten. ❤️

To Boss, Mentor and a friend BALLA your presence will always be missed. Your wisdom, kindness and a care for others had great impact on my life both personally and professionally. Your support to me even after i left from Cafe will always be remembered, I will miss all the calls from you for those little details. I feel lucky to have known you and worked for you. Your legacy of Compassion, integrity and leadership will always live in me. “ Balla you will deeply missed but never forgotten” RIP Simran

A beautiful sendoff for such an incredible human. You always had so much grace and presence but I had no idea just how much you had contributed and shared to the greater society.

I will miss your friendly face and your beautiful black stallions and the wonderful musicals you rode! Thank you Baldeep for everything you brought to this world and more! Ride on and rest in peace.

Baldeep, your passion and dedication to your life was an inspiration. Thank you for your friendship and your support. Your legacy will live on with the many lives you’ve touched.

🙏 Though we may not have been in close contact, every conversation we had with Bala Bhaji showed us what a motivating and hardworking man he was. His warm, welcoming nature and his ability to make everyone feel so at ease spoke volumes about his character. Bala Bhaji was truly a good person—one who radiated kindness. He embodied generosity and respect, creating a sense of belonging wherever he went. His loss is deeply felt, and our heartfelt condolences go out to his family and loved ones. May his soul find peace, and may his memory live on as a reminder of kindness and integrity. He leaves behind an amazing son, a young man with admirable manners, and a loving wife, Navneet. Their family has always been dedicated to serving the community and their faith through the Gurdwara. May God give strength to his son, wife, father, brother, sister-in-law, and nephews in this difficult time.

n memory of Baldeep, a shining light in our dressage community. His passion for dressage, relentless pursuit of excellence, and boundless generosity touched everyone who had the honor of knowing him. He will be deeply missed, leaving a lasting impact on all he met. Though I’m unable to attend in person, I will be there in spirit, joining you all through the livestream as we celebrate his beautiful soul. May the heavens be brightened by his presence, and may he be dancing freely on a team of black stallions.

Baldeep. So sad you came to leave Our hearts cannot conceive Your soul to walk among us The memories you weaved The Warrior now gone How on his horse he shone Our hearts now full of woe We wish not to let him go In our vision you remain Our love to stay the same We shall remember you in frame. My heartfelt condolences to family in this time of grief and loss. To Vicki ~ May you find comfort, solace in all the special memories you shared. It was a pleasure to know Baldeep. Baldeep Dhillon RIP 🖤🙏
