Vinubhai Patel's Obituary
It is with profound respect and heartfelt sorrow that we announce the passing of Vinubhai Manilal Patel, a beloved and revered father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, on November 2, 2024, at the age of 86. Born on March 7, 1938, in Vadai, Gujarat, Vinubhai lived a life defined by resilience, dedication, and an unwavering commitment to his family’s well-being.
Vinubhai spent the first part of his adult life in Ahmedabad, India, where he was a respected Union President for the Life Insurance Corporation of India. He enjoyed his travels and built a platter of experiences that set him up for the greater adventure to come. In his 50s, guided by a vision for his family’s future, he made the courageous decision to immigrate to the United States. At an age when many consider retirement, he embarked on a new chapter, rebuilding a life in a foreign land to create new opportunities and secure a promising future for his loved ones. He strengthened English organically by diving into his work, took any opportunity he could to forge connection and grounding as he reestablished his family in a new place, while laughing and enjoying, especially with his grandchildren. His entrepreneurial spirit, determination, and forward-looking mindset never wavered; he sought progress, always striving to create a foundation for future generations.
Vinubhai leaves behind a legacy of resilience, steadfastness, and foresight. His family remembers him not only as a loving patriarch, but as a man who lived with purpose and a deep commitment to seeing those he loved to thrive.
Vinubhai was blessed to be surrounded by his family at the time of his transition. A devoted husband to Chandrikaben, he was an respected father to his son, Nirzar and his three daughters, Yogini, Jahnvi, and Devanshi. He was also a loving grandfather to Janita, Naman, Shivan, Samaarth, Kavy and Nirmi and the proud great-grandfather of Rohan, Avi, and Jay.
Vinubhai is additionally survived by his brother Ashok and sister Dharmishta. He will be missed and remembered with love and admiration.
