I have tried to sit down and write this three times and still couldn't find the words to describe what you meant to me. We first met at Rickards and, it has been a friendship full of laughter and good times, not one bad moment or experience with you Parth. I love you and we all will miss you 

I send my deepest condolences to the Patel family. My heart is saddened by the loss of your wonderful son. My thoughts and prayers are with you. 

Our deepest condolences to patel family for sudden loss of Parth. Patel family is pillar of tallahassee Indian community.  God give them strength in difficult time.   Jitendra & Kokila 

Prayers and deepest condolences to the Patel family for such a devastating loss. 
Those of us who worked many years with Parths grandmother Indira recall well her deep love for her grandchildren. 
Our hearts ache for all of Parths survivors.


I was Parth’s middle school Honors Algebra teacher. He was one of my favorite students of all time. Everyone liked Parth. So intelligent, kind, and personable. My heart breaks for you and your family. He will definitely be missed. Rest In Peace Parth. ♥️

I’m so sad to hear about your loss.  I was Parth’s fifth grade teacher and you won’t find a nicer guy!  The city of Tallahassee lost a true gentleman.  The Scott’s are praying for you.

Parth Patel was a true legend. He lived his life to the fullest every single day. He was a go getter. He made any dream of his come true. He can also make any stranger feel welcomed and accepted. I was a stranger and I married into Parths family. But Parth was the first to welcome me with excitement and get to know me. From the first day we met, I adored him. He has a warm, comforting spirit and energy about him that is magnetic. He never judged anyone. He also did absolutely anything for his mom, his dad, his friends and family. Day or night, he will sacrifice anything and be there for you. One time, I wanted to start a t shirt company and I talked to him about it. A few days later he messaged me with supplier details, prices and how to get it started. He did absolutely anything for the people he loved. 
Parth also had the BIGGEST most selfless heart. One night in Jersey City, we got food catered for a dinner party and had a TON of food leftover. All of us wanted to trash it so we could go out and get to the bar but Parth wouldn’t let us. Instead, he found a trolley and put all the food on it, he rolled the trolley looking for homeless people outside to distribute the food to. IT WAS MIDNIGHT!! It was 10 degrees out, but he didn’t care... he didn’t want the food to go to waste. Not many people think like this but Parth did. He always had the biggest heart. God had a bigger and better plan for him, I’m sure. He was a true inspiration and I can’t wait to tell my children about the beautiful man Parth was. I love you so much Parth. I miss you like crazy. I wish our time with you wasn’t taken from us. 

I am a customer of the car wash. My wife and I are so sorry for your loss. So senseless and tragic. Words fail us. 

Our condolences  to the bereaved family. 

- We didn’t know each other personally but you’d been so nice to us whenever we went to the Red Rapid Car wash.

Rest in peace.

Amesha n Dixie I'm so sorry to hear about your lost! I'll keep y'all in my prayers! This is Ms.Cynthia!

I am so sorry for your loss. Your grieve must be unimaginable. Parth will not be forgotten. Take what little solace you can from the this photo. It was taken in February 2013 at the Rickards boys soccer post season event.  


Parth was one of my first friends in high school outside of the ones that I went to middle school with. My first memory of meeting him was when Parth Amin introduced us after a MAO competition at Rickards in 8th grade. All I could think at the time was “wow there are two Parths”. Little did I know how much of an impact he would have on my life.

Parth was a bright and intelligent individual, but didn’t miss the chance to be his goofy self. He was one of the people I spent the most time with in high school and one of the best friends a person could ask for. One of my favorite things about Parth was his loyalty and determination. I knew I could count on him to have my back no matter what. He helped me out a bunch throughout high school with school work and life advice.

We spent so much time together with school, soccer, Pangaea & tech, and countless hours hanging out. The moments we’ve shared will last with me forever and the impact Parth had on my life will not be forgotten.

I am so very sorry to hear of Parth’s passing. He was a genuine, friendly and charismatic young man. Though I did not know him well, all my interactions with him were always pleasant.

May you find comfort in your time of grief knowing Parth touched many lives during his short time with us.

My family keeps you and yours in our thoughts and prayers. 



We are so very sorry in the loss of your son.  I remember him when we would stop in each morning at the PAN on Apalachee Pkway.  We are keeping your family in our thoughts and prayers.

Ray Bradbury said in Fahrenheit 451, “We cannot tell the precise moment when friendship is formed. As in filling a vessel drop by drop, there is at last a drop which makes it run over.” 

I am not sure when I became friends with Parth, but I am so glad I did. He had this impeccable ability to make everyone around him laugh.  

In late 2011, when we were in Spanish class together, he would punctuate everything he said with “YOLO” (you only live once). To the teacher’s chagrin, he would be quickly corrected to “Amarillo” (Spanish for yellow).  

I am thankful I got to see Parth achieve so much of what he said he wanted to do; he really did live this one life to the fullest. He made this world a better place and brightened the lives of everyone who had the opportunity to know him.

I've only met Parth once almost 2 years ago at garba but I remember him just being such a nice and genuinely good person. I remember riding with him and another friend to garba and even though we were technically strangers, it didn't feel like it because of how nice and easygoing he was. We had so much fun at garba and during the ride there and back. We definitely had a lot of interesting conversations and laughs that day. I was honestly shocked when I heard about his passing and even though I only met him once, it really saddened me to hear that  such a nice person is no longer in this world.  Rest in peace Parth.  My condolences to his family. 

Parth was a great friend to me in elementary school at NFC.  He was very kind to me, I want to thank you for that. I haven’t spoken to him in years, I don’t know why I weep here today over my keyboard, but I can’t imagine how you must be feeling. But I haven’t spoken to him in at least a decade and I’m still crushed by this. I want you to know he had a positive impact on those around him. Thank you.   
                              Love,

Parth was one of my best friends in high school. I was so fortunate to have his friendship, his humor, and his ongoing support. I have so many fond memories from birthday bashes, lunch at Moes, dance practices and surviving IB together. Even beyond high school, I was so grateful to have kept in touch with him. He was always so supportive of my endeavors in medical school. His hardworking nature was inspiring, he worked while getting his masters and also supported his family business. But Parth also knew how to have a fun time and celebrate. Just a few months ago, I was sitting across from him having dinner.  He was so enthusiastic about his new business. He wanted to expand his business and thought about moving to Orlando. We were so excited for the future.

Parth, you will be missed. You had such a profound impact on my life. I will continue to celebrate you, your accomplishments and cherish our memories. Sending love to Parth's family and friends. 

Team leader, hard-working, smart young man who took on any challenges that came his way. As Parth's  high school soccer coach, I was fortunate to watch him grow and mature into one of the leaders on the team. He was well liked and respected by his teammates, coaching staff and administration.  At the time , his drive and determination  gave  but a glimpse of  a young man  young who strove  to  live and enjoy life to its fullest.  One of my fondest memories will be of the fun and excitement he had on Senior Night when he was able to take off his goal keeper gloves, play on the field, and score a goal! Peace and blessing to you Parth!

How could I not remember Parth. He actually first sought me out when he chose me to be with as he "shadowed" high school, a program that allowed 8th graders to experience high school for a day. I don't know how much of an impression it left on him, but in just a single day he certainly left one on me, even 11 years later. A loss like this can feel like an unbearable weight. I am very very sorry for your loss. I find comfort in the hope that one day soon we will see him again (John 5:28,29). But until that time, may you find peace and comfort. You will continue to be in my thoughts. Much love. 

I met Parth while I was attending FSU. I had never met someone who had such a pure heart. My condolences to the family. He was a great person.

Dear Ami aunty & Diku uncle,

It’s difficult to accept that Parth is not amongst us. I pray god to give you strength to come out of this hard time. 
Please accept our deepest Sympathy. 🙏

I never met Parth physically, but he helped me and my team countless times to get our software release out. He was always nice and eager to help every time we needed him. We could always trust that he would do a good job and in a way he was our lucky charm because every-time he worked on our release it would always work successfully. I'm saddened and in disbelieve that he is not here with us any more and I wish I could say how thankful I am for everything he did for us. We'll definitely miss him. May he rest in peace always. 

I'm so sorry to hear. I was a coworker of Parth, my heart goes to the family. Rest in peace good friend.

God give the strength to bear a loss of your son .May his soul rest in peace.  Om shanti. 

I worked with parth as an intern at ibm.
And we would have some of the best conversations regarding our differences in culture, and how we relate to each other even with such different upbringings. So many laughs as we interned together that summer.
He Was a good man with a pure heart.


Diku and Ami

We pray to god to give you strength in this hour of crisis and bless the departed soul for eternal peace.

Parth was one of my students at Rickards in the IB program, and I also had the pleasure of coaching him in Mu Alpha Theta. He was wonderful to work with. I am incredibly saddened to hear of this loss. I wish I had stayed in touch with him after he graduated from Rickards. To the Patel family, my heart is with you. 

Parth,

I first met you when I was 3, and you were the first friend I can remember making. Our time at North Florida Christian was so fun and special. We were the only Indian kids in the whole school and being forced to be in the Thanksgiving play was probably one of the earliest memories I have. We grew up dancing at Glimpses with all of the other Tally crew for years and then had the chance to do school together again at Rickards. Your laugh, humor and silliness were qualities everyone around you loved. You always knew how to put a smile on everyones face. I can’t really even comprehend that I’m writing this about someone who I grew up with and made so many memories with. You were such a sweet friend for so many years of my life. You will forever be a part of so many of us, and a reminder to work hard and never stop chasing our dreams. Sending so much love to the Patel family. Parth was really a gift to us all. 

Wishing you peace to bring comfort, courage to face the days ahead and loving memories to forever hold in your heart. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. If there is anything we can do please don’t hesitate to reach out . 

Sincerely, 
Angie and Matt Moran 

We send or deepest condolences.   We pray for your comfort and healing.  Your family was so gracious to us when we were building our home in Ox bow Estate over 14 years ago.  Our   twin girls went to school with Parth.  He was such a kind and smart young man.   

Please know that you can reach out to any of us. 

Cecil and Priscilla Howard 

Parth, 

Rest in peace, my brother. You always brought so much laughter, joy, and fun wherever you went. I'll never forget our fun at state MAO and the roasting sessions. I still laugh every time I think about the troll under the bridge. I miss you brother. 

To our dear neighbors, 
We mourn with you. We are so very, very sorry that Parth is gone. When you are ready  to share memories of your wonderful son, come over and allow us to make you a cup of tea. We will happily sit and listen. You are a beautiful family. We are so happy to be able to live next door to you. 

In Sympathy,
Beth Demme

Parth was an incredible person with an amazing heart. He was not only the life of the party, but also would always be there for anyone no matter what. I know that he will be severely missed by everyone who's life he touched. Having known him and the impact he has had at a young age, I know his legacy will live on through his loved ones. I will be praying for his family during this difficult time, and may God watch over you all.

                             May Parth rest in peace!

Parth...
You were so genuine, so pure, & full of so much love. You won our hearts the first time we met you. Meeting you, spending time with you, was for a reason, & you will be terribly missed. Hridhay will miss his Parthmama, you built a bond with him that is irreplaceable. You will always remain in our hearts, your presence will always live within us forever. Keep shining on us & we’ll look up to you for a smile. Cheers, shots will never be the same but, every shot Jay and I take will be for you, with you! Love you & rest in peace.

Parth was one of my best friends in high school. We bonded over our love for our families, friends, soccer, and getting through the IB program. I have so many fond memories with Parth that I'll always cherish. He helped me through high school and made my high school experience so much more fun and enjoyable, despite the struggles of IB. I'll always be grateful for knowing him and for the time that I got to spend with him. I was so lucky to have him as a friend, even though it wasn't for as long as I would've hoped. He impacted so many people's lives in a positive way. He was such an amazing person and an even better friend. He was loved and will be missed by so many. Our Rickards IB family will never be the same without him. He'll forever be my soccer buddy and one of the best friends that I've ever had. I'll miss him greatly. Sending so much love and heartfelt condolences to Parth's family. I pray you all are able to find peace during this extremely difficult time. 

Our family sends prayers and love to the Patel family.  We love you guys and Parth was a great young man.   He was one of our daughter Sara's best friends.  He will be missed.   God has an Angel.  

We are sorry about your loss. He and Craig had many good memories at Rickards. Our sincere condolences to you all！Rest in Peace，Parth！
