Born in:
Odisha Bhubaneswar, India
Resided in:
New York, NY
Siddhartha Nayak
On January 28th, 2024 Siddhartha passed away from sudden cardiac arrest at his residence in New York, NY. He was 48 years old.
Sid (Chintu) was born on March 20,1975, as the first child and only son to Sabita and Bhaskar Nayak in Bhubaneswar, Odisha India. He immigrated to the United States with his family in 1981. The family moved to New York in 1982, starting in Brooklyn, NY and later settling in Dix Hills, NY.
Sid graduated from Half Hollow Hills High School East in 1993 and went on to attend Wesleyan University earning his degree in Economics in 1997, followed by his MBA from Bayes Business School (City University) in London, UK. Beginning in the finance and management, his career as a Project Manager was marked by his work in strategic product development and technical knowledge applied across various industries, most recently for the company Perpetual based in New York.
Sid’s interests were a reflection of his multifaceted nature. He was adventurous, analytical and had a great sense of humor. He knew how to find the most creative punchline in every situation and enjoyed fierce debates fueled by his thirst for knowledge. He was a “techie” who relished in discovering and trying the newest gadgets and gizmos. He loved art, art history and had a wide range of music he enjoyed. In his free time, Sid enjoyed gaming, sports, traveling, reading, live events, music, and learning about any and everything especially world history and cultures. Most of all, he was always eager to share his knowledge and experiences with others.
Anyone who knew Sid, knew he was also a “foodie”, and enjoyed trying all types of food in different locales, creating his own food tours, cooking and most of all enjoying these experiences with friends and family. Despite having immigrated to the United States as a child, he had a deep and enduring fascination with Indian history and culture, and was very fond of his relatives in India looking forward to each visit.
Sid is survived by his parents Bhaskar Nayak and Sabita Nayak, sister Sangeeta and his cat Cory. His presence will be deeply missed, but the memories he created will forever be a source of comfort and inspiration to all who knew him.

The sorrow of the untimely demise of our dear Chintu is unfathomable. He was an amazing person, a loving brother, a beautiful soul whose presence brought joy and light into our lives. The void left by his passing is immeasurable, but so is the love and warmth that is left behind in his fond memories.
“Those we love never truly pass away, they live in our hearts always- with precious, cherished memories that never fade away.”
May his soul rest in peace.

Sid and I became friends instantly when we met at 13 in junior high. To say I was fortunate to have him as a friend 35 years later would be the understatement of the century. Rarely would several days go by before we’d be texting one another about any number of things… discussing life, politics, family and our shared passion for gaming. I thought of Sid like a brother, but as Neena described, a brother of my choosing. Somebody who was always there for me through the highs and lows of life. Losing Sid has been devastating. I’ll never have a friend like him again. I was lucky to have had him as friend for as long as I did. He was one of the kindest, most thoughtful, smartest individuals I have ever known and will ever know. My heart is with the Nayak family over this loss. I will forever remember Sid as one of a kind, sending my prayers to his family. I’ll miss you forever brother.
Chintu was a beautiful soul who touched so many lives. He will be deeply missed. He will hold a special place in our hearts.
We are sending you and your family love, strength, and support.
My dear sweetest brother in law chintu,I have miss your body in this artificial world but i never miss you in my soul and mind, you have always with me till my end.
Your Nana Prafulla Nayak
With warmest regards, Diane Molloy (Sabita’s colleague from NYITCOM STEP)
We are so sorry to hear of the loss of your dear son.and hope that all of the wonderful memories you have of your son, in time, brings you some comfort.
I still cant believe this loss. My favorite memory of Sid was the first time we arranged to meet. We walked through the southern half of central park and when dusk came we sat in some hilly area and talked about all kinds of deep things as the fireflies started to glow in the evening light.

Dear Bhaskar
We are so distress at your loss. There is no word which can give you solace. Cry if you have to. Talk to others who have lost their son or daughter. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.- dr Sahu
Chintu was not only a loving younger brother but also a person with whom I share a lot of childhood memories . His sudden departure has come as a shock which I have not been able to come to terms with. His innocent smile, mischievous activities and child-like nature could win anyone’s heart.
My heart feels heavy and I fall short of words to express the anguish each one of us who is connected to Chintu feels for him. May God bless his soul and keep him happy wherever he is. We will always keep him in our hearts.
The world knew you as my brother,but you are so much more. My brother,my friend,my guide and my partner in crime.Losing you felt like losing a piece of myself.
I know you always had my back,now as I walk the world without you, I feel profound absence,a silent whisper that keeps reminding me of you.But the love and memories you left behind continue to shine brightly,guiding me through the darkest days.I will hold onto your memories untill my last breath.You were, and will always be, irreplaceable. Miss you Chintu …..
Our deepest condolences to you and your family for your loss.
Thoughts and prayers are with the family
I am so sorry for your loss. My prayers and thoughts are with you .
Though your son may not be here with you physically He will always be with you spiritually.
My deepest condolences to you and your family.

Dear Sabita, my sincerest condolences. May his soul rest in peace forever. My thoughts and prayers are with your family. Siddhartha Nayak will always live through you in your heart.
My sincere condolences to Ms.Sabita and her family.Our thoughts and prayers with you all.
I am with you my dear Sabita & Nina by heart and mind, especially today and tomorrow ❤️ I feel your pain saying your goodbyes to your beloved Chintu🥲 it is only a goodbye, because we are all going to meet one day in the eternal life. Hanane and Joe join me to present you with our heartfelt condolences, and pray God to give you the necessary strength and faith to overcome your tragic loss. May Chintu’s soul rest in peace and may his memory be eternal for those who knew him and loved him 🙏🙏
This very special and heartfelt message from our dear friends the Agarwals (Nanak and Manju) was unable to be read aloud at the service.
We are privileged to know Siddhartha, for us we knew him as Chintu, since he arrived in New York in 1982. Chintu and our son Chiku (Avi) grew up as brothers just like Nina and our daughter Ritu as sisters. Our longest and most memorable days were when Chintu stayed with us in Pleasantville for over a month. He was a wonderful, Godly child, full of energy, always cheerful and always going out of his way to help others. He was a warrior. His most significant virtue was equanimity. He faced all the challenges in his life with a smile, never complained and accepted the results with a smile. He will be greatly missed; however, his fond memories will live forever. We pray to Lord Jagannath to give the strength to Bhaskar, Sabita, Nina and the entire family to bear this tremendous loss and may his soul rests in Peace.

Shanti, Shanti Shanti!
My condolences. I was so shocked and saddened when I found Sid had passed. Feel bad for Sid too young to go, a life cut short.
We’ve know each other for almost 23 years. He was such a great guy and friend. Chatted on a daily basis. Knowledgeable about various topics such as current events, gaming, electronics, politics.
We got together for a drink or bite almost once a week. Often my wife would join. He also knew both my brothers.
I convinced him to buy a bike, which he rode for some time but he eventually got too lazy and reverted back to that dam electric scooter. I tried to teach him golf once, but he almost broke my clubs. I tried to teach him weight lifting, he gave up one set in.
But the tennis stuck. We had a regular game almost every week. Pre game we would catch up and talk and post grab lunch. Our regular spot was Saluggies East.
We went to the US Open tennis like 10+ years in a row. Saw some great matches.
We went paragliding.
We went on a trip to New Orleans. First night we were there he goes MIA for 6 hours without a word. That was the first time I thought he was a goner. But he eventually made it back to the hotel and we had a good weekend.
I will miss him. RIP.
Dear Sabita, I am so very sorry for your loss. I am lifting you and your family up in prayer. Sending you love and light.
I (Anmol) remember following Chintu around when I was in elementary school (circa 2003). The image of him on the computer in the basement with his backwards hat on will forever be in my mind.
Our love and support is always available and we will be there to help the family grieve.
To Dr. Nyack and family,
Please accept our deepest condolences. We are so sorry for your loss.
Sid,
It was an honor to work alongside you and be on your team numerous times.
We were supposed to grab lunch in the city soon…
My heartfelt condolences to your family. You will be missed, my friend.
Blessings,

I am completely without words and devastated. I went to Wesleyan with Sid. He was one of my best friends then and our friendship has continued in NYC. We communicated almost everyday through Telegram. He was a great friend, confidant and always brought a smile to my face. Please let me know if there any events to follow. I can be reached at 917-627-1438.
Probably the worst news I have received this decade. Sid was a support rock for me while I was in college. He was my Beta line brother and we survived that process plus Wesleyan arm in arm. Sid may not be among us, but he will live with and through us. Thanks for the pleasure of letting me get to know you.
Such sad news. Sid and I worked together at a FinTech company in Princeton NJ almost 20 years ago. We kept in touch and met up a few times a year due to our mutual love of technology, movies and games. He was a really good person – always kind, smart, genuine, generous.
May your soul dear Chintu rest in peace and may your memory be eternal 🙏
I am so so sad to hear this news. Sid you were such a sweet soul and while we knew each other only for a short time, but you came to mind which is how I learned this awful news. I hope your soul is at rest. You are missed.
