Arpit "Andy" Patel

Arpit “Andy” Patel age 39, of Salem, passed away on Thursday, January 27, 2022.

Arpit was the son of Rameshbhai Patel and Sitaben Patel.

In addition to his parents, Arpit is survived by his spouse Disha Patel and their two children, Sanaya and Pearl; his siblings, Vishal and Pinky Patel; and numerous nieces, nephews, other close family, and friends.

Arpit was a happy and cheerful person. He grew up surrounded by a large extended family. Having an extremely strong work ethic, it is to no surprise that Arpit was well known as a hard-working person. In his free time, he loved spending time with his two daughters and family. He also enjoyed watching cricket. No matter what time of the day India is playing, he would be in front of the TV to watch them play. Arpit loved his Indian food and took great pleasure trying different Indian dishes.

A service to honor and celebrate Arpit’s life will be conducted on Wednesday, February 9, 2022, starting at noon, in the chapel of John M. Oakey & Son Funeral Home, in Salem.
