Dear Friends,

We are deeply saddened to share the tragic news of the untimely passing of Vignesh Pattabhiraman, a loving husband, dedicated son, and accomplished professional. Vignesh’s life was cut short in a devastating road traffic collision and subsequent assault on the night of February 14, 2024 (As per Thames Valley Police report) , as he was cycling home from work.

Vignesh was a committed restaurant manager at Vel, where he poured his heart and soul into his work, earning recognition for his exceptionally warm nature , customer service and work ethics. His dream of reaching a senior management position in the hotel industry was within reach, with an exciting opportunity awaiting him at Hyatt Regency Mayfair London.

In addition to his professional endeavors, Vignesh cherished time with his beloved wife, Ramya, and their shared aspirations for a bright future in the UK. Their dreams were shattered by this senseless tragedy, leaving behind a void that cannot be filled.

We are rallying together to support Vignesh’s grieving family during this unimaginably difficult time. Your generous contributions will provide much-needed financial assistance to help cover repatriation cost, funeral expenses, support his grieving wife, Ramya, and ease the burden on his family as they navigate this profound loss.

Let us come together as a compassionate community to honour Vignesh’s memory and extend a helping hand to his loved ones. Your donations, no matter how big or small, will make a meaningful difference in their lives as they cope with this heartbreaking loss.

Thank you for your kindness and generosity.
