PATEL, Yusuf Adam. In Loving Memory of Yusuf Adam Patel. It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Yusuf Adam Patel on 12 July 2026, aged 85. Beloved husband of Armina, devoted and loving father to Zaheeda, Imraan, Hussain, and Saadiq, cherished father-in-law to Yunus, Soraya, and Belle. Proud and loving grandfather to Shaheen, Hanna, Mia, Eli, Saarah, and Xavier, each whom brought him immense joy. Yusuf will also be fondly remembered as a much-loved brother-in-law and uncle. Our family extends heartfelt thanks to the exceptional staff at Sarah Selwyn Hospital for their compassionate care and support. Their kindness and dedication brought great comfort to Yusuf and to all of us during his final days. Yusuf, you will forever remain in our hearts and in the memories, we hold so dearly. Your love, strength, and gentle spirit will continue to guide and inspire us every day. May your soul soar freely among the birds you loved so much, and may Allah, in his infinite mercy, grant you the highest place in Jannah. Indeed, to Allah we belong, and to him we shall return.
