About Thamesh
Thamesh was a radiant presence: a friend, a brother, a soul who lived with heart and purpose. He had an unmatched ability to bring people together, to make others feel seen, safe, and celebrated. His laughter filled rooms, his ideas inspired action, and his care knew no bounds. Whether it was a spontaneous road trip, a quiet conversation, or a night spent dancing under city lights, Thamesh made every moment feel meaningful.
A Legacy of Presence
Thamesh didn’t just live—he lived fully. He embodied joy, pursued adventure, and made time for the people he loved. He reminded us all that simply showing up is one of the greatest gifts we can offer each other. From college classrooms to beach trips, he was a constant: lifting spirits, holding space, and pushing others to be their best.
Stories That Stay
Whether it was the way he’d rally his friends for a sushi night, sit quietly with someone who needed comfort, or turn everyday moments into movie scenes—Thamesh left his mark through connection. He was magnetic, vibrant, and deeply loyal. His energy still lingers in the laughter we shared, the lessons he taught, and the love he gave.
A Brother Beyond Blood
To many, Thamesh wasn’t just a friend, he was family. The kind you choose. The kind that stays. He brought warmth to homes that weren’t his own and bonded with loved ones as if he’d always been part of them. He gave his time without asking, his heart without hesitation, and his presence without distraction.

It’s hard to put into words how much Thamesh meant to me. He was my first friend, my brother for the past 16 years, and someone whose story continues to inspire me every single day.
When we worked on his college essays, he described his life as a jungle—wild, difficult, but not without beauty. He faced pain early on, losing his father while protecting his mother, yet he found the strength to keep going. He later dedicated himself to lifting up his sister through her own challenges, always putting others before himself.
Even through everything, he built a life filled with love, purpose, and hope. He made it into one of the most selective universities in Florida and created a home for his friends and family that was full of laughter and care.
One of the things he once told me still stays with me: “It’s not the circumstances that define you, but how you welcome them into your life that makes you stronger.”
Thamesh, your strength, love, and legacy will always be with us. Thank you for showing us how to live fully and love deeply. I love you always. 🕊️

I’m so excited about this organization that Thamesh’s brothers have created for him. Thank you Ansh for remembering my Thamesh. He’s the son, brother, uncle, brother-in-law, nephew, cousin and friend every family craves for. He was a beautiful soul. When he left, he took the meaning of my life with him. My heart aches every second and the pain lives on until I see him again. Can’t wait to see this organization flourish and keep his memory and others alive!

Thank you to all of Thamesh’s friends who have worked so diligently and lovingly to create this everlasting memory for my Tamu. I’m forever grateful.
Thamesh was an affectionate and genuine soul. The type that only graces your life once in a lifetime. I was fortunate to be blessed with the gift to bring forth such a great soul to this Earth. Thamesh was academically and spiritually elevated way beyond his 21 years. He was a gifted student, Not just in academic intelligence, but more so in social, emotional and spiritual intelligence. During his short time on Earth, he showered everyone around him with an abundance of love, kindness, compassion and laughter. Especially his forever companion, my sweet Simba, who never left his side. Together, their souls departed and merged with the supreme being. His loyalty to his friends, family and himself is beyond measure. His friendships were everlasting. This Foundation created by his brothers are a testament to that. His friends remained by his side from 3 years old to the second he took his last breath. His vibrant nature, energy and laughter was boundless. He left us with great memories that we will forever cherish and continue to share. He’s taught us the meaning of our existence. He understood his purpose and enjoyed this journey of life: He never lost focus of his dreams and his commitment to family and friends.
My heart is shattered. You’re in my heart forever Tamu and the pain lives on. Every day that passes is one day closer to our reunion. Our bond can never be broken. Not even in death. Your earthly existence may have come to an end, but you live on inside and beside me forever. This heartache and pain are the remnants of the love we shared as mother and son.
When it’s my turn to depart this earthly dimension, we will once again walk hand in hand as you escort me to my final destination and resting place. Until then, enjoy your time with your father whom you continued to love, cherish and be grateful for although you were only 3 when he left us. On the day of your passing, you were frantically looking for the cd to listen to your dad’s voice. I told you I’ll send it next weekend with Asheer to get going on the road. Your words, “I want to listen to my dad’s voice today mom, TODAY, not next weekend.” Little did I know that you were preparing for your departure and wanted to know the sound of your father’s voice when he arrives to welcome you home. I love you my Tamu and I still don’t understand why you had to leave me. I will never know the answer, but will continue to keep your memory alive with your friends who are your family also. ❤️ -
My dear friend Shelly. I never had the opportunity to fully know your son. But from all the stories, I have been told he was a remarkable person and grew into a wonderful young man. Your grief, along with his friends who grieve, is a testament to how much you, and they, loved him. Please know that the outward sign of grief is the inward feelings of the love you had and still have for that wonderful son of yours. May God continue to hold you, Shelly, in his arms and help you through this time of grief. Your life never will be the same, but you are still alive. May God help you live your life as your son would want you to. I’m sure he recognized his father‘s voice as soon as he entered that kingdom. Love you, Shelly and I will always be here for you. In memory of your beautiful son. Love, Judy

Thank Ms. Strumlauf! Thamesh remembered you! He always used to ask about all the teachers. He never forgot his elementary school.

I’ve been trying to find the right words, but how do you describe someone like Thamesh? How do you fit a soul so full of life into just a few pages?
If you knew Thamesh, you knew there was something different about him. He was magnetic—he had that rare energy that made people stop and listen, laugh and feel. I used to hear about him from friends in middle school like he was a legend already in the making. And when I finally met him that first week of high school, it was like we’d known each other in a past life. We became best friends immediately. Not by chance. Not by coincidence. But because we were meant to.
Thamesh and I grew into ourselves together. We shopped together, ate together, and tried every new thing life threw our way. We laughed until we couldn’t breathe. We cried when life got too real. And we shared the kind of secrets that only come out at 2am when you feel safe enough to tell someone who you really are. We made everything an adventure and I say this with my whole heart: life with him was the most alive I’ve ever felt.
We didn’t just hang out—we grew and pushed each other every day. At FSU, we were in all the same classes, and every single time, he’d sit right next to me. We’d study together, prep for exams, hold each other accountable. And even when I was tired or distracted, he kept showing up—with that same quiet discipline and drive that made him shine. He was incredibly hardworking, always grinding but never losing his joy. He managed to be one of the brightest, most talented, most involved people on campus—always juggling a million things, yet still somehow making time for everyone.
He had so much to look forward to. We talked all the time about New York—about the life we were going to live there and the dreams we hoped to accomplish. He couldn’t wait to introduce me to Justin, Steven, all his favorite aunts and uncles. He even joked about getting me to try lamb pepperpot—his way of making sure I really got the full experience. He made everything sound like an adventure waiting to happen, and he made me believe it could be real.
He taught me so much—about life, about love, about being present. But also the silly stuff. Like how to make a TikTok with the newest trend. Or how the latest conspiracy theory actually connected to five others. Or just explaining basic common sense to me when I was being dense. He had this way of being that felt almost…beyond human. He could make a moment feel like a movie scene.
Every day with Thamesh felt like a full experience. Even the small stuff became big with him. His daily questions were like little rituals: What are we eating? Where are we taking Simba? Where’s the function at tonight? And it wasn’t really about the answer—it was about doing those things together.
Some of my favorite memories with him will stay etched in my heart forever. Like going to my first concert in Miami with him—Drake, of course—screaming lyrics and dancing like nothing else mattered. When he was the first to get his ears pierced. All our spontaneous trips to Gainesville, Orlando, and especially Cancun, Mexico—our most recent and best trip yet. We had an absolute blast swimming at the beach, parting at coco bongo, and even atv riding and ziplining. Every moment was filled with laughter, sunlight, music, and that feeling that life was something we could taste and hold. Thamesh didn’t wait for joy. He chose it, every single day. And I’m so grateful I got to choose it with him.
And beyond everything, what meant the most to me was how deeply he touched the people I love. He and Simba would come to my house all the time, and I watched as he became part of my family without even trying. My mom adored him. He noticed how her love language was feeding us, and he received it with so much gratitude and warmth. Watching my dog Cosmo and Simba play while he laughed with my parents—it was effortless. He had that rare ability to belong everywhere he went.
One day, not long ago, I was bugging him—asking what we should do or talk about. And he just smiled at me and said, “We don’t have to do or say anything . We can just be and enjoy each other’s silence.” He explained nothing else needed to be said as we already understood each other so deeply. So we sat there, in silence—me, him, and Simba. No words. Just presence. Just peace. And now, that moment means everything to me. Because I realize that presence—that comfort—was his greatest gift.
Now, Simba has passed too. And while the grief feels heavier, I take comfort in imagining them still together—my two soul companions—walking beside me in spirit.
As I try to make sense of it all, I keep turning to something that grounds me: Hinduism teaches us that the soul, or atman, is eternal. That death is not the end, but part of a cycle—samsara.
And I believe, with every part of me, that Thamesh was a soul so pure, so radiant, that he fulfilled everything he was sent here to do. In just 21 years, he inspired us, protected us, taught us how to live fully and love deeply. He carried his guyanese heritage with pride, honored his mom’s journey, and filled every room with warmth. His time wasn’t cut short. It was complete. Because he didn’t waste a moment.
Now, his soul continues its journey—free, limitless, divine. He is needed somewhere else, where his soul can keep doing good.
So this isn’t a goodbye. It’s just a “see you later.” Because I know I’ll feel him again watching —in the silence, in the stillness, in the moments that matter most.
Quote from Bhagavad Gita: The soul is not bound by time. It moves light and free, and when its work is done, it returns home—not to end, but to begin again, carrying the same light in a new form.
Thamesh isn’t gone—he’s just watching over me, quietly, in the silence we once shared.
P.S. I miss you more than words can describe Thamesh and I love you so much, I know you are watching over us and I’m going to make you proud. Thank you for everything my brother, I know I said a 1000 times but I love you bro ❤️ rest easy we are going to carry on your legacy.

Thank you Aryaman for creating this memory for us. My Thamesh is lucky to have a brother like you. I will forever remember Tamu with all the memories you have shared from middle school to being roommates. I read them over and over and it makes me so proud and happy!

I met Thamesh all the way back in 8th grade at a friend’s birthday party. The moment I met him, I knew he was unique. He was such a character — ridiculously funny, quick with his comebacks, and full of energy. I vividly remember going back to school and telling all my friends about him. I’d never met anyone like him before.
Then, by some stroke of luck, we all ended up at the same high school. And from there, everything just clicked. We became real friends. Best friends. Brothers.
Thamesh was the one person I FaceTimed every single day in college. Not just quick catch-ups — we were on the phone for hours. Whether it was right when I woke up, in the middle of the day, or right before bed, he’d pick up. And every call came with nonstop laughter. No matter what kind of day I was having, he found a way to make me laugh harder than anyone else could.
We went to different colleges — him at FSU, me at UF — but the distance never meant a thing. He was a daily part of my life. I’d wake up to 10 TikToks from him, each one with a caption giving his full opinion. And we’d talk about everything — random internet drama, politics, the most ridiculous debates sparked by the dumbest videos. He was sharp, good-looking, opinionated — and did I say good-looking? He saw things clearly and wasn’t afraid to say what he thought.
He also loved to eat. But choosing where to eat? That took forever. He could take hours to settle on a place. But once he picked it, he had a special order ready — and it was always fire. Every time he came to UF it would always be the fish burrito at el indio. I’d just copy whatever he ordered too, because I knew I wasn’t topping it.
And then there was “Tom.” Every time he ordered food, he’d give the name Tom at the counter. Eventually, I started doing it too just to troll him. We’d be standing there with two “Tom” orders being called, trying to figure out which one was ours. I even changed my Chick-fil-A app name to Tom, and I kept using it in gainesville even when he wasn’t around. That name stuck with me — and so did he.
He was funny, smart, sarcastic, annoying in the best possible way, and always real. I would give anything to rage bait him one more time. To hear one more take from him. To see his name pop up on my screen one more time.
Simba was always by his side. Whether he was visiting UF or just driving around, Simba was there — they were a package deal. It brings me comfort knowing they’re still together now.
And man, the memories we made. I only went to EDC because Thamesh convinced me. He just said we had to go — and I trusted him. We went to Miami together for my birthday and the Drake concert. We even got on a yacht. We traveled to Cancun recently and stayed at the resort he picked out. Every big moment, every trip, every wild memory — he was at the center of it, making it better.
I’m genuinely blessed to have had someone like Thamesh in my life. Not everyone gets that kind of connection — someone who knows you, calls you out, hypes you up, gives you advice at 2 AM, and makes you laugh like no one else. He’s not just a memory — he’s part of my story. And I know I’m not the only one who feels that.
Thamesh, I love you, bro. I miss you more than I can explain. And I promise we’ll keep you alive — through the stories we tell, the debates we keep having, the summer plans in your second home New York, and every single food order made under the name Tom.
Rest easy, Thamesh.

To call Thamesh my best friend is such an understatement—it barely scratches the surface. He was a part of my identity. Spending the last seven years, more than a third of my life, with him has been the best years of my life. He was my motivation. My daily thoughts consisted of, “Wow, my week in Gainesville has been so boring, but at least I get to see Thamesh with Simba in Tallahassee this weekend.” Or, “Wow, my day at school was so annoying, but at least Thamesh is in fourth period waiting for me.” Or, “Wow, I’m so sad about this thing right now, but I know Thamesh will make me laugh later.” That’s the thing—I feel like anyone can make me laugh or chuckle, but with Thamesh, it was a type of laughter that was so rare. The endless type of laughter, where I’m laughing so hard I can’t stop, my stomach starts to hurt, my eyes are watering, and I can barely stand. I only laugh like that with Thamesh. That’s the feeling I think about every time I think of him. I miss every one of his laughs, chuckles, and cackles. He was my light at the end of the tunnel, and I’m eternally grateful for him. The impact he has had on my life is monumental, and I will think about him every day for the rest of my life. Thamesh was so chronically late for everything, but no one cared as long as he eventually showed up. But now he’s gone a bit too early.
He was my routine. His name was in every conversation I had—every single person I had a connection with knew him as Thamesh, Sanjana’s best friend. Whenever something happened in my life, he was the first person I called. From becoming friends in math class in freshman year because he constantly asked me for answers to the homework to being the last one to speak to him the night it happened, I feel so honored. I was able to hear his final thoughts on that phone call the night of the accident. We talked for two hours, and it was such a classic Thamesh exchange. I told him about my weekend in Gainesville, and he told me about his trip to New York—how great it was to be with his family, who he had so much fun with, how going to the seafood boil restaurant turned club was the best thing ever, and just how New York was his second home and he was so glad to finally explore all of the tourist traps. I’m glad he was able to live his best life these past couple of months and see everyone important to him.
I am honored to be his best friend, to have seen every side—from the good to the bad—but honestly, all of it was good. He was there through my hardest moments, but he was also there for my best moments. He was there for all my moments, and he still will be. I will love him and think about him every day until the end of time. I miss him so much and I would do anything for one more laugh, for one more moment with him and Simba—even just a single second to see his smirk. Words cannot express how much he means to me, and I hope to see him again one day. But for now, I will live every moment for him. My best friend for life. I love you, my Thamesh.
-
Sanjana, you are Thamesh’s best friend until the end of time. You were the light in the dark. You were with him until the end of his journey. He wouldn’t have wanted it any other way. He died happily. Thamesh was truly blessed with your friendship. The world will remember you as “Sanjana, Thamesh’s best friend,” He will forever live on in your heart. I will always love you Sanjana! You hold a special place in my heart with Thamesh. ❤️

I’ve been a friend of Thamesh’s for as long as I can remember. I have an endless amount of fond memories of our time together. I remember back when we were kids, playing sand trap in the neighborhood park with him. I remember the countless sleepovers at his house, playing video games until we fell asleep. I remember being mad at him when he took too long to get out of the house—he would come in the car and make us laugh, forgetting the hour wait.
He would always try to keep my family close, inviting us to birthdays, making trips, and making sure we always met when he came back home. Thamesh was such a good friend and an even better brother. He truly was unique—in his laugh, his smile, his jokes, his perfect hair, and his ability to make everyone come together. You could talk to him about anything, and he was always there to support you. I’m sure that’s what made everyone love him so dearly.
Every time I would hang out with him, it would take me back to when we were little kids riding our bikes up and down the neighborhood. It seems like every memory I have of him forces me to smile and laugh. I wish we could be carefree again, acting like we could do anything in the world until the sun came down.
Every time he came to Jax, he would have endless stories about his friends and family, and it seemed like he was exactly where he wanted to be—surrounded by the people he held close to his heart. He was my family, a brother, best friend, and a kind soul. He would want us to be brave when going through these tough times, want us to be caring as he was for others, want us to be open to new experiences, and be the best version of ourselves—because I know that’s what Thamesh would have wanted from all of us

Life is so short. We’re each given just a small window to make a difference, and Thamesh truly did. Just looking at how many people he impacted shows the kind of person he was full of kindness, good energy, and unwavering support.
Thamesh always made sure the people around him were okay. No matter what was going on in his own life, he showed up with positivity and a big heart. In moments when I felt lost or overwhelmed, he was the one I turned to. He always knew what to say or how to help, never asking for anything in return. That’s just who he was. A real friend. A solid one.
He loved life. He never wanted to waste a moment sitting still when there was something to experience. He was always getting us out of the house, encouraging us to do something, anything: bowling, sushi, whatever. All-you-can-eat sushi never stood a chance. He made the most of every day.
Thamesh was one of my closest friends. We shared so many memories and conversations. We traveled together, New York, Miami, and most recently Cancun. I’ve laughed with him, cried with him, and joked with him. I would give anything for one more of those conversations. One more memory.
Life is unfair, and tomorrow is never promised. But we have today. Thamesh showed us how to live it: with joy, with heart, with presence. The real tragedy isn’t death. It’s never having lived. And he lived. Fully. Beautifully.
All I can hope is that we carry on what he started: a legacy of kindness, happiness, and love. Let’s honor him by showing up for the people we care about and cherishing every moment. If anyone needs someone to talk to or lean on, I’m here. Always. I didn’t just lose a friend. I lost family. I lost my brother. Love you forever, Thamesh. -
Grieving the loss of a young life is incredibly tragic. Thamesh was a caring friend, brother, son, and student. His humor, confidence, and compassion touched everyone around him. He would spend hours cleaning the apartment before friends visit, just to make sure we are comfortable. He’d push everyone to get off the couch, motivated to do just about anything. Thamesh is the only person that people would wait hours on to get ready, and we would do anything to live these moments again. He was spontaneous in the best way, and lived life fully. He loved his friends and family deeply, aspired toward a bright future, and tirelessly cared for his beautiful soul-friend, Simba. The feeling of this loss is heavy, but in these dark times we must remember Thamesh’s light.
Carrying on without him is uncharted territory — none of us imagined a life without him in it. Looking back on memories, it’s so clear how much of an impact he made and how much he contributed to all the laughs. Now, in this newfound silence, we make space to honor his presence and hold each other closer. My heart goes out to all who had the privilege to know Thamesh, and those who are grieving a loss of their own. In these painful moments, nothing is more important than community. We are never alone in this journey, and the TRFoundation is a beautiful reminder that our loved ones are still with us. We spread their light through our stories, and hold them in our hearts eternally.
All my love and prayers.

One of the greatest. RIP❤️

Thamesh was seriously one of the best people I’ve ever known. He had such a warm heart and always knew how to make people feel seen and cared for. Even though we ended up at different colleges, he never stopped checking up on me. It was like having an older brother looking out for me. He’d text just to ask how I was doing or send something dumb to make me laugh. And somehow, it always came at the perfect time.
What I loved most about him was how funny and lighthearted he was. He joked around constantly and could turn any boring moment into something fun. But at the same time, he knew when to be serious. If anyone ever started teasing me too much or said something out of line, he’d always step in. He didn’t make a big deal out of it, but you knew he had your back.
He was never the type to sit around at home. He always wanted to be out doing something — grabbing food, going for a drive, just finding a way to make the day more interesting. He brought this energy with him that made everything feel more alive. Being around him made you want to enjoy life more.
It’s hard to wrap my head around the fact that he’s gone. But I know he’s in a better place now. I feel really lucky that I got to know him and call him a friend. I’ll never forget the way he made me feel: cared for, protected, and always laughing.
Rest easy, Thamesh. You meant a lot to me and always will.

Thamesh was one of the most genuine people I’ve ever had the privilege to know. He had a way of lighting up every room he walked into and always showed such deep care for the people around him. He was truly loved by so many, and everyone who met him appreciated his warmth, kindness, and authenticity.
I had the honor of knowing Thamesh for nine years. From being friends back in 6th grade to becoming college roommates and best friends, we shared countless memories and experiences. He was the kind of person you could always count on—someone you could confide in, lean on, and trust completely. Thamesh knew how to live life to the fullest, and I am forever grateful for every moment I spent with him.
Our apartment felt more like a family than just a place to live, and losing Thamesh feels like losing a part of that family. One of the most special parts of our time together was Simba, the amazing dog Thamesh brought into our lives. Simba quickly became like my first pet, and he and Thamesh were the perfect pair. They did everything together and even looked like they were meant to be side by side. The comfort they both brought me during my hardest times is something I will never forget.
Thamesh was a person whose impact goes beyond words. To honor him, we must continue to live our lives with the same joy, courage, and love that he embodied. We must not take this life for granted.
I will always love both Thamesh and Simba—and I will cherish their memory forever. -
Thamesh was one of the funniest people I have ever met. I loved hanging out with him and Simba. He was an amazing person to be around. I’m so happy to have gotten the chance to know you🤍

Thamesh wasn’t just my roommate — he was my partner in crime, my rock, my best friend. Life with him for the past 8 years was loud, funny, unpredictable, and full of meaning and great times. It is still hard to wrap my head around the fact that I won’t wake up to him blasting music, or find him and Simba barging into my room to wake me up in the morning.
He was one of the most important people in my life. Because of him, I grew into someone I’m proud of — someone more open, more patient, more full of love. He was there for me through the highs and the lows, always showing up with that big heart of his. Over the last seven years, we laughed until we couldn’t breathe, had late-night talks about everything and nothing, and made memories I’ll carry with me forever.
It’s tough imagining moments like graduation without him physically there, cheering me on with that big smile of his. But I know he’ll still be with me — in my corner, in my heart, probably cracking a joke or two from the other side. I’ll carry him with me in everything I do, from the biggest milestones to the smallest moments.
I pictured him now on the most peaceful walks with Simba, eating all his favorite food, probably having the best time with his dad and loved ones that were waiting for him. And while Apartment 401 will never be the same without him, his spirit will always fill its walls — and every home we move to.
This wasn’t goodbye — just a “see you later.” I love you endlessly, Thamesh Ramjit. I wish I had said it more. His light continues to shine through all of us lucky enough to have known him.

There aren’t really any words I could use to describe how I feel about Thamesh. He was just simply put great in every way. He was a great friend, great soul and was always larger than life. I loved being around him, just his presence alone would ignite a passion inside of you that was unexplainable. If I were to name it, it’d be a passion for life and fun, for living for the moment and being true. I always felt so connected to Thamesh, whether he knew it or not, just because of how true I felt with him. He made every moment light, while simultaneously being entirely full of depth. I don’t think I ever met someone who was able to walk that line so well, and be so entertaining in the meantime. There was never a time I could ever really get mad at him no matter how much we butted heads, because he was always just so goofy. I miss him dearly, there will never be anyone like him. People say that all the time, but in this instance it’s never been more true. His time was too short here, there was so much more he was bound to do with his greatness. I can only hope that his spirit will continue to live on through everyone he knew. Rest in peace Thamesh, you and Simba are lying on clouds together eternally now i’m sure of it.

I met Thamesh on the first day of middle school at the bus stop, he was wearing this black SnapBack hat with a wing on it and I remember thinking to myself who is this cornball. Little did I know that that cornball would become one of my closest friends in middle school and even my first year of high school at Stanton. His witty one line remarks would always make my day, his sense of humor was top tier and it always seemed like he knew what to say to get others laughing. He was truly a caring and understanding person I felt like I could always be myself around him without fear of judgment. I admired how carefree he lived his life and I’m glad that me and him reconnected in college and I got to spend time with him before he was taken he was truly a unique, strong soul and I miss him so much.
-
Thamesh was an amazing friend and I am so grateful I got the opportunity to know him. He always made me feel comfortable and happy, and every time we hung out it was so much fun. He was always down to do anything if it means being with his friends and making new memories. I am grateful for Thamesh’s kindness and the way he always brought all of his friends together. One of my favorite memories with Thamesh was having him and our other friends come stay at my house in Orlando and visit my hometown. He was so excited and grateful for everything, and he made the trip super fun. He loved watching my pets fight and would always tell stories about them and his own baby Simba. I miss them both so much and I am heartbroken that something like this happened. Losing a friend is an incredible pain, especially someone so young and full of life. It saddens me that this tragedy has happened but I am so proud of his family and close friends for creating this foundation to honor him and help others. His roommates and best friends have truly shown such strength and bravery in a time like this and it is amazing. I am happy he was surrounded by this great group of friends and family during his life and was able to share these precious moments. This foundation is truly inspiring and I am so happy to be apart of it and able to help any way I can.

Thamesh was one of the funniest, most enjoyable, and caring people I have ever met. From the moment I met him freshman year of high school, I knew he would be someone I could always depend on. Although, I didn’t speak to him every day, every chance I did, it felt like he was one of my brothers. If it weren’t for him, I don’t think I would be living my life to the fullest and having as much fun as I do now. I’m so glad I had the opportunity to spend so much time with you in Jax, Tally, Orlando, and even Cancun. Rest in peace to one of the realest people I ever met❤️

I met Thamesh for the first time a couple months before his passing. I was visiting FSU for the first time to meet Sanjana’s best friends from high school, and I had heard so much about him that I was nervous to make a good first impression.
As promised, Thamesh was still getting ready for the first couple hours we arrived. But as soon as he came down to say hi, he was so energetic and welcoming from the first moment we met. He had a way of making everyone feel so comfortable so quickly. and by the end of the night I felt like I could tell him anything I would talk about with my best friends. We were discussing our (non-existent) love lives, plans for the summer, and fears about post grad life. I was so touched by how open he was with someone he’d just met, and that he takes a genuine interest in everyone he comes across. And, I realized that Sanjana was right when she told me he was the funniest person she’d ever met.
He was the kind of person that makes the most out of every moment, and to be around him meant you were having a great time. I didn’t know him for very long, but I’m so thankful I got the chance to meet him, and I’m proud of all his friends for working to honor his legacy in such a meaningful way. -
Thamesh was one of the first friends I ever made at the Sai center. His aura was always so radiant, and always made me look forward to be in SSE and bhajans with him.
Seeing all these beautiful comments only confirms what I already knew—he was deeply loved and surrounded by so much support.
I feel lucky to have grown up alongside someone as kind and full of light as Thamesh.
Rest easy Thamesh ❤️

I remember befriending Thamesh like it was yesterday. As every memory rushes back from his laugh, the way he made space for everyone, I realize that no words will ever fully capture what he meant to me. He had this rare gift of making people feel seen, even in silence.
I know losing Thamesh has been incredibly painful for so many, but it’s also clear just how deeply loved he is. I feel truly lucky to have known him and to have loved him.
There may never be a perfect message, comment, or letter that can fully encapsulate his spirit and energy. I miss him more than words can express, and I’m grateful to carry his memory with me and to be able to share who he was with others

I’ve known Thamesh for ten years, and in that time, he became my best friend. He was my role model—everything that was right in a fast-paced and changing world. He was loyal to his people. He reminded me integrity can be a form of resistance. He was my fashion guru, my cultural icon, and my beacon of resilience.
We pushed each other—academically, politically, and personally. We held each other to high standards. We confided in each other and respected one another deeply. He was my biggest supporter, and I was his biggest fan.
I cherished our friendship more than anything; I grew up with him.
I owe so much to Thamesh Ramjit. I spent every moment with him like it was the last. Too many words said and left unsaid.
Rest in peace, bro.
