It is with a heavy heart and deep sadness we announce that Rishi Pradhan passed away unexpectedly on Friday, August 20, 2021. Rishi was a personal trainer at The Edge Fitness in Meriden, CT, and his shocked and saddened coworkers are holding a fundraiser to assist Rishi’s family with his final expenses.

Rishi was born in Middletown, CT on June 18, 1993 and grew up in Rocky Hill, CT. He graduated with honors from Rocky Hill High School and attended Fordham University in NYC. He found great comfort in artistic pursuits including painting and playing his guitar. He also enjoyed spending time at the beach with his friends. He was truly a gentle soul with a great sense of humor and a winning smile who will be missed dearly by all who knew him.

Rishi leaves behind his devastated and heartbroken father, Rohit Pradhan, his loving brother, Jai Pradhan, and his beloved girlfriend, Eileen Rodriguez in addition to other family members and friends.
