He had a natural charisma and an ability to make people laugh, and he approached life with an optimism that those closest to him will always remember.

Above all else, Jayesh loved his family. He shared a loving marriage with his wife, Chhaya, and was an extraordinary father to his sons, Vijay and Ajay. His love, guidance, and sacrifices helped shape the men they are today. He was also deeply devoted to his parents and sisters, and he loved his nieces and nephews as if they were his own children. Providing for and caring for his family was central to the way he lived his life, and the love he had for those closest to him was boundless.

Throughout his career, Jayesh worked hard across a number of business ventures and professional roles, always with the goal of providing a good life for his family.

Jayesh will be remembered for the love he gave so freely and the impact he had on the people around him. He was deeply loved by his family and friends, and his influence will live on through the people whose lives he touched. To Vijay and Ajay, he was the best father they could have asked for.

His family will forever carry his love, laughter, and spirit with them.
