Aditya Nicholas Dias

Aditya was an adorable baby with beautiful curly hair that defined his cuteness even as he grew into a handsome young man. From an early age, Aditya was well known in the larger community for his passion for Chess. He enjoyed participating in tournaments, and always looked forward to meeting old friends and making new ones.

Aditya was a brilliant mind, and taught himself many skills including Chess, Rubik’s cube, Rip-stick, remote drones, and fixing computers. His childhood interests were reading, playing with Thomas trains, and Legos. He also loved Origami, Tae-Kwon-Do, Soccer, Boy Scouts, Ice-skating, building robots, fixing computers, Skiing, Video Gaming, and Lacrosse. Cars and fitness training were his latest obsessions!

Aditya was a goofy and fun-loving kid with a great sense of humor, who made friends very easily with people of all ages. He doted on his big sister, Neha, and the two of them along with Kira, Demi and Luna, created some very precious memories for our family.

Aditya graduated in June 2022 from Panther Creek High School in Cary, NC, and was a Freshman at High Point University, NC, with plans to major in Law of Criminal Justice and a minor in Psychology.

Aditya is survived by his mother, Nisha; father, Augustinho; sister, Neha; grandma, Felicia; extended family; and of course his furry friends, Demi and Luna.
