12 May 1944 – 24 July 2022
‘It’s true the mountain calls us by our name and it’s a spiritual hike’…Dad’s words describing his ascent of Mt Kilimanjaro when he was 18.
Dad – May you ascend to the highest peaks
It is with deep sorrow that we announce the death of our beloved Jayantilal Devchand Ramji Shah (Dodhia) of Mombasa, (Gaam Gajna) on 24 July 2022 in Nairobi Kenya

He was the dear son-in- law of Late Amratben and Late Raishi Lakhamsi Shah and late Hansraj Bhai ‘ Kaka’ and late Gunvantiben ‘Masi’
Dad was our hero; father and father-in-law to Raju and Arti, Seiya and Birju, Ricky and Meera
He was ‘the Champion of the world’ and the most fun Nana/ Dada ever to Parissa & Savan, Kian & Sky and Kai and Aneya.

He lived a beautiful and adventure filled life full with friends and family and with his true love Ansuya always by his side.
His corneas were donated within 6 hours, to Lions Eye Bank, Nairobi to bring sight to two blind people.
Om Shanti ~ thank you for your blessings for us all as we navigate life without Dad.
