This picture was in my Facebook memories today because it was taken at 5th grade graduation. All the boys were dressed handsomely and were so excited to be moving onto middle school. It was a pleasure to be Sanjay’s teacher. He was a wonderful and caring student.  He was everyone’s friend. He will  be missed forever. We all will cherish our memories with him. 💙😢

I am so very sorry and deeply saddened to hear about the loss of Sanjay. Sanjay was in my 4th grade reading class at Maplewood and was so loved by his teachers and peers. I still remember his contagious smile and lovable sense of humor. Condolences and prayers for comfort for Sanjay's family and loved ones. 

Condolences to the family on a life loss too soon.  May you find strength in prayer, family and friends. 

Grew up with him in Elementary School. He was one of my best friends growing up at the time. Unfortunately certain events in my life caused me to be unable to maintain a lot of my childhood relationships. So past this point we didn’t talk often except for a handful of occasions. Regardless hearing this news deeply saddened me, once a very close friend, I’m grateful I’ve had the pleasure of being a friend with him. When I was younger I didn’t have many friends but he didn’t care, he was certainly a character but a good person. I hope everything is well with the family and I’m glad I got a chance to write this. Godbless his soul and prayers to the family.

At school I parked right across from him while he would rev his engine, he truly looked like a sweet soul. Rest easy. Family and friends are in my thoughts. 

Offering our sincerest condolences to the Persad family, friends and loved ones. May Sanjay’s memory be a blessing, and his light continue to shine.

My condolence to the family, friends, and community that loved Sanjay and did life with him. I pray that God grants you peace in this difficult time. Sanjay's memory will live on forever in the hearts and memories of the people that loved him. May he rest in peace with our heavenly father. My thoughts and prayers for Ms. Persad and Jaden as I know this is very hard for you too especially. Words cannot express how truly sorry I am for you loss. Please stay strong and keep living for him and in his memory. 

Love, 
Nathalie Castillo
