We are deeply saddened and shaken to our core by Vicky's passing-so unbearably early. Vicky still had so much to offer the World, so many extraordinary contributions waiting to be made through his brilliant mind, his boundless kindness, and that unstoppable spirit that we all loved so deeply. With him, we have lost a truly beautiful soul. Vicky's family is in our thoughts and prayers as they navigate this terribly difficult time. The outpouring of love and grief we've seen in just the past few days alone is a testament to the extraordinary life he lived and the profound impact he had on so many people. It is impossible for your memories to ever fade from my mind. We have shared too much - as batchmates, as roommates, as member of that close little circle at university, as colleagues, and even as neighbours who lived just door apart. Vicky, we will miss you more than words can ever express. We will never forget you. Your memory will live on in us forever. Rest in peace, dear friend. You were, and always will be, truly exceptional.
