Pratapsinh Dayal Bajaria, born in Lindi, Tanzania, on May 31, 1934, passed away peacefully on July 18, 2025, in Naperville, Illinois, at the age of 91.

He was reunited with his beloved wife, Shanti, and leaves behind a legacy of love, family, and joyful memories. He is lovingly remembered by his children: Arti and her husband Sudhir, Yogen and his wife Nita, Manoj, and Simple and her husband Rupesh. He was a proud grandfather to Namrata (married to Mayur), Chandni (married to Deep), Suman, Rahee, and Krish, and a cherished great-grandfather to Rian, Arin, and Nivan.

He will be remembered for his infectious smile, his happy, talkative nature, and his deep love for being around people. He had a gift for making others feel welcome and at ease, and he brought warmth and energy into every conversation. Above all, his greatest joy and pride was his family. In his final moments, he was surrounded by their love—a fitting reflection of a life built on connection, laughter, and heart.
