Pratik “Pinku” Shah
Pratik “Pinku” Shah was born in Ahmedabad, India on January 14, 1974 to Dipak and Kailas Shah. He has a younger sister, Bijal Shah. He moved to Beaumont, TX at the age of 14 and attended Westbrook High School. Upon graduation, he enrolled at Lamar University in Beaumont, TX and graduated in 1999 with a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering.
He married his childhood sweetheart Dipali in 1997 and over the years had 3 children together; Suhani, Sarina and Sohum. He worked in Aerospace Engineering for many years and was a Project Manager on the Orion Spacecraft Program. In addition, he was a successful entrepreneur who opened two liquor stores, a nutrition supplement store and owned multiple properties.
While Pratik was passionate about his work and his businesses, he enjoyed spending time with his family the most. He was an adoring father and a loving husband; a nurturer who invested time and effort into his family life.
Pratik was a dear friend to many and an enthusiastic host who was always eager to entertain friends and family. He was also an avid reader, loved music and food, exercised regularly, traveled widely and had a zest for life.
Pratik leaves behind a large group of family and friends who have forever been blessed with the time they had with him.
With eternal gratitude for a beautiful life

Pinku/Pratik:. Very sorry to hear of you being a victim of this covid pandemic. I have brief but very find memories of you as I facilitated your transition to the usa as an immigrant when you were just a teenager. To read about how well you did and grew into a mature responsible caring loving adult – doing well professionally as well as raising your own children and caring for the family – was very heartwarming. May your soul rest in peace. Om Shanti. Madhavi Sethna
RIP, Pratik.
You will be missed forever.
We pray for your soul.
We are with Dipali and entire family in this moment of extreme grief and sorrow.
Jai Shri Krishna.
May God bless the departed Soul and give family the strength to bear this irreparable loss…
Rest in Peace 🙏

Pratik was a wonderful friend and co-worker. His passions were always evident in conversation, and his intellect and wit were a welcome contribution to any day. He (and his “Beaumont accent”!) will be sorely missed by all who knew him.
It was a pleasure to work with, and get to know, Pratik. Good man and great memories. Wishing the family peace in knowing he was loved and will be missed.
As a coworker, I knew Pratik as a leader, one who strove for excellence in all he did. Always engaging and positive, every discussion or meeting was lifted by his presence. I will miss him and the impact he had on our industry. May you find peace in his passing and joy in remembrance.

our deepest sympathy for family
from kirit & kashmira family
I had the honor of working with Pratik at NASA during the Constellation Program some years back. Immediately I liked him. His passion for the technical aspects of the work and his good natured exuberance made him popular on the team. His eye for detail and profound professionalism made him a trusted advisor to our customers and to the team. Many a times I sought his counsel and always walked away from those conversations reassured. Even after our careers took us in different directions, we kept in touch. There are many people that will cross your path through life and some who will walk it with you. I’m thankful we shared a path, even for a little while. He will be missed.
RIP
Pinkubhai Miss you lot
It feels very odd to think of Pinku in past tense. We have no words which will make Dipali, parents and kids feel better.
Pinku was, Pinku is and Pinku will be in our hearts forever. We will always remember him as a jovial full of life and always ready to help others. May his soul Rest In Peace. Arun Manju Ravi and Rishi

So sorry to hear the sad news. Both of us knew him from the time he came to Beaumont as a young high school student. We knew him as a smart young man who always helped in the community events. He was respectful of the family and the senior community. We pray for his soul and also for the family he leaves behind.

My thoughts and heart are with you during this time. I’m so sorry for the loss of your loved one, as I know Pratik was a special person in your life.
May the many happy memories that you made together be a consolation today and all the days ahead. I still remember smiling at each other and comforting each other as a 5 years old kids who just started at AG primary school after kindergarten at Ankur together. He has been and will be in my heart as my FIRST Friend!!!
You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Our deepest and heartfelt condolences to Shah family. May the departed soul rest in peace. Our prayers are with all family and friends.
Our condolences to your family. He was a burst of energy in every setting. I have such fond memories of working with him at NASA. He will be missed.

It will always be an unbelievable truth that you left everyone half way. God himself would be sad. But the life you lived and led will be cherished dearly by everyone who knew you! Rest in peace and will find you in the sky shining as a star.
Prayers to the God to give strength to Dipali bhabhi and the whole family to go on with your memories in heart!!

Dipali,
you have shared your life with a wonderful man , although it was cut short by the cruelty of fate…..you will have a boat load of wonderful memories for the rest of your life. Pratik was full of life and zest and so warm to people who he may have known for long or for a short period of time. We have enjoyed his and your company and warmth whenever we interacted. He will always be remembered and in our memories. His guitar will always be saved by Ashwin who will fondly remember his guitar guru forever. We just want you to know that we are here for you.

Oh Man…Where do I start from?
This is truly the time when I am at a loss for words.
I can’t believe I am here at this page writing these words under obituaries.
No, I refuse to believe that Pratik is gone. He was too young and and so full of energy to leave us like this.
He never left anything incomplete. He was very thorough. This was not Pratik. He can’t leave his family and kids like this. This feels like a bad nightmare.
I became friends with Pratik at Lamar. We studied together, ate a lot of Church’s chicken (9 pieces for $3.99) together, talked a lot about everything and discussed everything under the sun like brothers. Quy Nguyen, Pratik Shah and myself were like 3 corners of a triangle. 3 different people with 3 different backgrounds but always met in the middle. We spent so much time together because none of us were exactly A+ students and we always needed to help each other to get that C (B, if we were lucky) to pass the class :). We never had an argument. Pratik always kept us together. After graduation, we took a long trip to Florida and Pratik arranged everything. He was that kind of person. Give him the responsibility and get out of the way.
After graduation, as luck would have it, we became neighbors in Houston. For the past 15 years, we lived close to each other. And I had that satisfaction that if I need anything, Pratik will take care of it for me. I had that trust and confidence in him.
Dipali and Shah family (Mr and Mrs Shah, Binju); I can’t imagine the pain you must be going through. But please know this, Pratik was one gem of a person. He did a lot of good things. He achieved a lot in his brief life.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all. May he be blessed!
Jay shree krishna
Our deepest condolences to the entire family. Our prayers and thoughts are with you all. May God give you strength to go through this tough time.

Rip pratik shah🙏🙏
Our deepest condolences to the entire family. Pratik was a very warm person and had accomplished so much in such a short time. He will be missed. We pray to god give strength to the family to get through the tough times.
My dear Dipali and children. How shocked I am and how much Pratik will be missed by so many. I just found out today. I am deeply grieved and know first hand the pain of losing such a wonderful husband and father. My heart is breaking for you all and Rusty’s as well. We will never forget him or you. I feel so blessed to have known him and all of you. Please call me. 281-995-6548. We love you all and will miss him very much. Ruthelene.
May gentle soul of Pratik bhai find eternal peace and bliss. He will be missed by many. We are still in utter shock and disbelief. He lived his life larger than life.
May good God give you guys strength to go through the tough times. We will keep you all in our prayers.
Bhargav, Asmi, Myra and Yoyo. Dave family.
