Dear All,
Today is a sad day for Nepali community that we had to face this unbearable news of homicide of our innocent Nepali brother Damoder Pathak while he was working to earn him living.
NASeA strongly condemns the ruthless homicide of Damoder by an yet-unidentified robber last night when he was working at a gas station in Dekalb County of Gerogia. This is a severe blow to each and every people of Nepali origin in the United States. Not a long time ago, we had to lose another Nepali to death in Baltimore and the cause of that still remain unknown.
Costomers called Damoder Pathak as Peter with love and everyone liked him for his hard work, sincerity and genial behaviour. One costumer said in the news link below that he was such a helpful person that he would give his shirt off his back.
NASeA requests the concerned authority a full and serious investigations on this matter to get the culprit to the justice. NASeA through its Committee on Community Services would work with Nepalese Association in Geogia (NAG) to take necessary steps to provide immediate support to the children and family of deceased Mr. Pathak. Below is the detail on this news by NAG president Pranaya Lama.
Please bring Damoder in your thoughts and prayers and please support NAG and NASeA in providing the best help to the Pathak family.
Sincerely,
Sanjeeb Sapkota
President,
Nepalese Association in Southeast America

With a heavy heart I grieve a loss of a friend.
My heart is filled with sadness to inform you that my very dear friend Damodar Pathak (Peter) is no longer with us. His life was ended by unknown gunman at the place of his work around 11:30pm, Monday night. He was taken to Grady Memorial hospital, where later he was pronounced dead. Atlanta Police Department are looking for the suspect(s) and investigating this case as of the latest update.
He was a wonderful father, husband and friend; above all he was “Pathak Sir” to most of us in Atlanta. I'll never forget his soft voice, yet his sense of humor that cheered the room full of friends. For many years I have valued the friendship, kindness and thoughtfulness that he shared with me.
I cannot imagine the pain friends and family of his are feeling right now; however, I know for certain that we never lose the people we love. Not even to the death. They continue to participate in every acts, thoughts and decisions we make. Late Pathak have left an indelible imprint in our memories.
With the deepest sympathy,
Pranaya Lama
President
Nepalese Association of Georgia.
