I attended Taylorville Schools with Sanat from 2003 – 2006ish. I remember him as such a kind spirit, wickedly smart and nice to everyone. I was sad to hear of his passing and would like to offer my condolences to the family during this time. He certainly left an impression among those of us that went to school with him during our formative years, and I wasn’t surprised to hear that he had gone on to achieve both personally and academically. Rest in peace, Sanat.
Hugs and prayers go out to you. The world has lost a very kind young man. I am so glad I had the opportunity to teach this young man. He kept me on my toes. I knew he was going to make a mark in this world with his creative ideas. He will be greatly missed.
Heartfelt sympathy. May god give you courage to bear the loss so great

My sympathy to your family in the loss of your son and brother. I know you are very proud of his great accomplishments. Peace be with you.
It is with a heavy heart and deep sorrow that we offer our heartfelt condolences. Our thoughts and prayers are with you always.
I retired from CERL and did not know your son well, but I do know he was a kind and intelligent gentleman. I am so sorry for your loss and you are in my thoughts and prayers.
I knew Sanat in junior high and high school. We were on the scholastic bowl team together at both schools, and I wrote an article on him for the Zephyr on his aspirations to attend IMSA. I remember he took, or at least sat in on, higher level math classes to strengthen his application.
Sanat brought joy and laughter to our scholastic bowl team and his determination and curiosity was integral to his character. He is missed.
I cannot begin to know the emotions and thoughts you are experiencing at this time, but I can share how important Sanat was in my life. He was smart, honest, creative, sincere, and most importantly an incredibly warm and kind individual. Having him with me in classes pushed me to be better, and having him as a friend provided me with a lot of joy. We had many laughs together during the lunch hour in junior high. Though Sanat and I did not keep in touch too much after he went to IMSA, I have always (and will always) considered him a valued friend. My thoughts are with you all during this incredibly difficult time.
Heartfelt Condolences at this very difficult time. Prayers for the family to bear the loss so great.
Dear Sonali and Family,
Words cannot express the sorrow that I feel in my heart for you. Sending many hugs and keeping you in my thoughts.

It was an honor and a privilege to have known Sanat as a recruit and subsequent summer associate at Brinks Gilson & Lione. He was a sharp, kind, smart, and gentle person who accomplished much in his short time on this earth. He will be missed dearly by all of us who worked with him here at Brinks.
I’m lucky to know Sanat this summer when both of us participated a summer program at Brinks Gilson & Lione. I cannot believe that Sanat has passed away. He is so young, kind, and smart. This is a great loss to his family and friends. We will miss him.
I am saddened to hear of Sanat’s passing and send my deepest condolences to your family. I had the privilege participating in a summer associate program with Sanat. He was very genuine and generous person, and a standout intellectual. He was a good friend.
Dear ones,
Our condolences on this sad news of the passing of Sanat. Please be assured of prayers for the progress of his soul and peace for your grieving family.
With loving greetings,
Chetan and Sunita
As one of Sanat’s law school classmates, I was shocked and saddened to hear of his passing. He was, as all mentioned here, an intelligent thinker and kind soul. We sat next to each other in Civ Pro and formed a study group our very first semester. Sanat was always willing to help, even though we are graded on a strict curve. He was professional and seemed older than he actually was… The wheels were always turning for Sanat, but he kept a level head and had a knowing look on his face. He was responsible and did things to cheer others up if they were feeling down. He had a great smile. He will be missed and the world will be less without him in it.
Thank you
Shirish, I am so very sorry for the loss of your son! You and your entire family are in my thoughts and prayers my friend!

Sanat and I participated in Scholastic Bowl and taekwondo and were in most of the same classes throughout the entirety of our schooling together.
He was a wonderful human being who was always good to others and was extremely intelligent and kind. I’m glad to have known him for even such a short time.
I’m so sorry for his family and friends’ loss.
My heart has been very heavy since hearing of Sanat’s passing. He had such a warm and loving heart. I am blessed that I am able to call him my best friend throughout our Taylorville school career. I will never forget how kind, intelligent, mature and supportive Sanat was even at such a young age. I’m thankful for all of my memories, including visiting your home and learning about your culture.
The world is a little dimmer without him.
My heart is with you all.

I met Sanat through mutual friends at U of I, where I attended undergrad and graduate school. We were not close, but I remember him fondly and I’m truly heartbroken for your loss. Your family is in my thoughts at this time.

So very sorry to hear about your loss of your precious son. I thought the world of Sanat and knew his potential was limitless. May God grant you his peace and comfort.
I was shocked to learn of Sanat’s passing. I have so many fond memories of Sanat and your entire family. I will never forget the closeness him and Hannah shared. Oh they had great plans for their future. They talked endlessly. I remember one outing I was with them and we had went to Cahokia Mounds. I have pictures from that day. I will locate and share with you.
I speak for Hannah when I say she is heartbroken . . . in her words, losing Sanat was not part of the plan.
My thoughts and prayers for needed strength for the days ahead.
सनथच्या अकाली निधनाने मन आणि डोके एकदम सुन्न झालय. ह्या डोंगरा एवढ्या दूःखातून बाहेर पडायला देव आपल्याला मदत करो.
I briefly met Sanat in the summer when he was interning in Chicago. Sanat came across as mature, intelligent, kind and curious. He spoke fondly about his family, his parents and his brother. He admired his parent’s courage to move to the US. He loved his younger brother and felt like a third parent to him. He valued the opportunity to study at IMSA and UIUC. He was passionate about mechanical engineering and cars. I am thankful to have briefly met Sanat – he taught me to be a student of life, to try things outside of our comfort zone, and to appreciate family.
May God give you courage to bear the loss so great. My sincere condolences.
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Bhole – I knew Sanat at CERL and remember him as such a pleasant young man. A good friend lost her son and asked that we remember him by doing a kindness for someone else. I intend to do the same in Sanat’s memory. Praying for God’s peace to cover you during these hard, hard days ahead. Melissa Suits.
Dear Parents, I’m so so very sorry you have lost your Son. I know your heart is broken. A promise was made by the Creator of all thing in Revelation 21:3-5 that we can depend on to come true. Because His power is without limit and His love is abundant all people of all races will benefit. Please go to this site (jw.org) in your native language to learn more. Take care…
