Mitesh Mahendra Natha

Mitesh at age 37, passed away on December 26, 2024. He was born in Bardoli, India, on September 22, 1987 to Mahendra and Bharti Natha. Mitesh was the youngest of four children and the only son. He grew up with his siblings Alpa, Hetal, and Urvi. Mitesh grew up in Walnut, California until the age of 10 years old. Thereafter, the family moved to Arlington, Texas. 

Mitesh studied Business at Baylor University in Texas and married Rosaelena Mercado on April 10th, 2021. He was an Arlington boy through and through. He settled here and built a wonderful life with Rosa, surrounded by many family members and friends. On May 22, 2022, they were blessed with a beautiful baby boy named Liam, who now is a carbon copy of his father.

Mitesh had many accomplishments in his 37 years. He was an entrepreneur and real estate investor. He also brought axe throwing to Arlington with his best friend Vikash. His greatest accomplishment, however, was being a father to Liam. Mitesh loved being a father and it was his best role yet. Liam and Rosa were his world. He was a friend to many and a beloved uncle to all his nieces and nephews. 

Mitesh’s life was much too short, but it was lived so brightly—too brightly for this world. He packed so much into his brief time and touched so many lives. We will remember his happy-go-lucky spirit, his humor, his willingness to always talk, his generosity, his gentleness, his kindness, and his deep love for Rosa. Mitesh was the ideal son. Growing up, he saw how hard his parents worked. He took great care of them, allowing them to enjoy an early retirement. Mitesh would always encourage his parents to travel and enjoy their lives. He assured them that he was handling everything on their behalf.

Sadly, his beloved son Liam, at just 2.5 years old, will no longer have the chance to make new memories with Mitesh. However, Mitesh’s family and all the people he touched in his brief yet joyous life will share their memories of him with Liam. Liam will come to know his father through the stories and love of those who cherished Mitesh.

You can shed a tear because Mitesh was taken too soon, or you can smile because he lived. You can cry and feel sad, or you can do what he would have wished: smile, laugh, and celebrate life’s little moments.
