It is with huge sadness that the family of Dineshchandra Mahijibhai Panchal announce his peaceful passing, aged 81. He will be lovingly remembered by his wife Ramaben; children Satyan, Sanjay and Anand; daughters-in-laws Nimi and Minnie; grandchildren Bhavik, Vidhya, Serena, Priya, Keval, Ayesha, Callum, Shreeya and Dev and great grandchild Ralph. A more than special mention goes to his late wife Sumitraben and mother Ruximaniben Panchal, who were his rocks till their sad demise in 1987 and 2019 respectively.
Born in Masaka in 1939, subsequently moving to Kampala in 1960 and finally settling in London in 1970. Dineshbhai was a true pioneer, fearless business man, aspiring industrialist, and an excellent networker – who got to see the world, from Paris to Japan!
He will be truly remembered for building a bridge and providing a home for all Panchal’s and Luhar’s amongst other families to settle here, not to mention his ability for arranging numerous family events and weddings.
His hardworking nature and love for cars has filtered down generations and without his first steps into this industry no one would have come forth as they did.
In his latter years, Dinesh – turned his interests to bhajans and prayers. As an avid singer, he would love singing at local bhajans, hosting them with his very own band, and entertaining others, with over one thousand subscribers to his YouTube channel!
Whether it was Kampala / Nairobi / Perivale / Boxhill /Weybridge / West Byfleet / Leicester / London / India / Ibstock etc He left fond memories and lessons by which everyone grew, including himself. He will be a great loss to all that loved him and the wider community.
We are grateful for his presence and wish his soul a safe journey home in peace, Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti

અમને જણાવતા ખૂબજ દુઃખ થાઇ છે કે શ્રી જયંતીલાલ ડાહ્યાભાઈ પંચાલ (જે.ડી.), તારીખ ૧૧/૧૧/૨૦૨૧ ના ગુરુવારે દેવલોક થયા છે. તેમની ઉમર ૮૧ વર્ષની હતી. તેમના અંતિમ સમયે તેમના પરિવારમાં, પત્ની નિર્મળાબેન, તેમના પુત્રો ભરત, શૈલેશ, રાજુ તથા પૂત્રી રીટા, પૂત્રવધુ દક્ષા, નીતિ એને જુગદીપ અને જમાઈ ભરતકુમાર તથા પૌત્ર શ્યામ, તારણ, શાન અને મિલન તથા પૌત્રી શિલ્પા, સરીના, ઈશાની અને અંબા-લીલી તથા જમાઈ ડેવીડ હાજર હતા. જયંતીલાલની ખોટ પરિવારને ખુબજ લાગશે.
જયંતીલાલ નો જન્મ ૧૯૪0 માં કડોદ ગામમાં થયો હતો. ઇન્ડિયા છોડી નૈરોબી અને ત્યારબાદ યુકેમાં કોવેન્ટ્રી શહેરમાં સ્થાયી થયા હતા. થોડો સમય નોકરી કર્યા બાદ તેમણે એન્જીનીરીંગ વોર્ક્શોપની સફળતાપૂર્વક સ્થાપના કરી હતી. જયંતીલાલનો ભજન સતસંગમાં ભારે શોખ હોવાથી હિંદુ સમુંદાયમાં પણ ઘણી સફળતા મળી. જયંતીલાલ, પૂજ્ય હીરજીબાપાના ઉત્સુક અનુયાયી હતા. નૈરોબીમાં રામ મંદિર અને કોવેન્ટ્રીમાં શ્રી કૃષ્ણ મંદિરના સ્થાપક સભ્યોમાંના એક હતા. તે ઉપરાંત યુકેમાં પ્રથમ પંચાલ જ્ઞાતિ મંડળની સ્થાપના કરવામાં ભારે જહેમત ઉઠાવી હતી.
જયંતીલાલનો લાગણીપૂર્વક અને ઉદાર સ્વભાવ ઘણા લોકોના હર્દયને સ્પર્શી ગયું હતું. તેમની ભજન ગાવાની કળા, અદ્ભુત રાગ અને પરંપરાગત ભજનો ગાવાનો તેમનો પ્રેમ સૌને આનંદ આપતો હતો. તેવો યુકે અને બીજા દેશોમાં પણ જાણીતા થયા. તેમની પાસે હિંદુ સંસ્કૃતિ અને ઈતિહાસ વિશેના જ્ઞાનનો ભંડાર હતો.
જયંતીલાલ ભરેલી વાળી છોડીને ગયા છે. તેમના અવશાનથી ફક્ત તેમના પરિવારને જ નહિ પણ આપણા સર્વે સમુંદાયને મોટી ખોટ પડશે.
The family have requested donations instead of flowers.

Ashvin Zinabhai Panchal
26 April 1960 – 18 March 2021
Preston
It is with great sorrow that we announce that Ashvin Zinabhai Panchal is no longer with us. A religious man, a husband and a father who was a very proud man, committed to his principles and core beliefs.
He was born on the 26th April 1960, youngest in a large family, he shone out from the crowd with his bold presence and can-do attitude. Arriving in the UK in the 80s, he applied his craft and skills in many areas, ending his career working 15 years as a machinist, making lifelong friends along the way.
He will be missed by his family both in the UK and India. His brothers, sisters, in-laws, nieces and nephews have all lost a valued family member.
He leaves behind his loving wife, who was by his side through both the good times and the bad, sharing a home they built together. He also leaves two sons who have learnt so much in the time they spent with him. He would often seek their input and in return share his wisdom.
You may be gone, but you will never be forgotten. In his memory, we have set up a fundraising page in his name.
