This page is in loving memory of Pathik Pathak who sadly passed away on 9th September 2025.

Pathik was loved by so many, as a brilliant scholar and thinker (and doer) in academia and beyond, an inspiring teacher, a devoted father to Roshan and Khushi, and a loving husband to me, Nazneen, his wife. He was so many things to so many - and will be missed so deeply by us all.

Feel free to post memories, messages and photographs so that we can remember him, together.

Pathik's funeral will take place at Southampton Crematorium on Monday 6th October at 11.30. A gathering will follow from 12.30 onwards at God's House Tower, Town Quay Road, SO14 2NY. All are welcome to both the service and the gathering/reception - just please let me know if you are attending (particularly the reception, so I know rough numbers for catering - and if you have any dietary requirements).

Please feel free to wear your nicest, brightest, effusively patterned clothes - Pathik loved colour, print and style (and try to avoid all black for the sake of the kids).

With love,

Nazneen

I was lucky to do my PhD alongside Pathik at Warwick in the 2000s. He was funny, clever, and deeply committed, full of energy, joy, and mischief. Over the years, I followed his career and family life with awe and admiration. He was so young, and his life so meaningful. It’s just not fair. The world feels much poorer without him.

Much love to Nazneen and his beautiful children.

It’s a challenge to write down, and an even bigger one to accept. I first met Pathik in India, and from herein weshared some great moments. I respected him, identified with him and loved being his friend. He was an amazing, complex and compassionate human: a brilliant man. Nazneen, Roshan and Khushi, you are in my heart today.

It was always so fun to see Pathik and your boy play together, they had such a rapport and little comedy camaraderie it was lovely to watch. Your girl was only little then but you could see they would have their special little relationship too. So much love to you xxx
