I am so sorry to hear Dr. Mahabir passed. I worked with him as his Periodontist at the Office in Friendswood a few years ago. Always professional and very polite and compassionate. I am very very sorry and I wish his family and friends soft recovery.

I’m SO sorry to hear this – please know I am praying for the family and I pray that God blessed the family with whatever you need in this time of loss
We have been friends since we inadvertently became aquatinted before you even came to our school. A story we love to talk about every time we meet. From that day forward we spent the remainder of our adolescence and adulthood together. Some of my fondest memories you are a part of. You are a huge part of us all, we will not go through the rest of this life without those beautiful memories of our friendship. Brother, I will always raise a toast to you with a loud, Rhaaaah! Like we have done for many years.
I knew Sasha in high school and was always kind and nice to everyone. Always fun to be around. I did run into him in Katy at a horse show had a great conversation. Prayers to his family and love ones.
I love my brother dearly. I will truly miss him. His smile, our conversations. He was a real jewel. Soft spoken yet powerful!

Nothing in life can prepare us for the death of a loved one. Whether death results from a sudden accident or a sustained illness, it always catches us off-guard. Death is so deeply personal and stunningly final, I’m so sorry to hear Of passing of this young man.
May He find eternal peace and happiness, May his memory be a blessing to you, your family and all who knew him……Love always

Sasha’s death was very early but his life had a purpose. His purpose included preparing for the family reunion. He will prepare his father Dindial and mother Zairoon when he gets to Heaven that his son Aiden, and daughter Haley, and Sasha’s father’s first daughter Daharonia and son Dindial and sisters Alisha and Amy for the great REUNION. The family will have eternal rest in Heaven. Don’t be sad for the lost of Sasha because the family will be reunited together again
From Daharonia and Dindial’s mother Thelma

I’ve know you since high school and I’ll always remember your smile. Willingness to be so supportive and helpful. You lite up any room you were in and I’ll never forget you cutting up a snake that bit boots while doing yard work and how jumped into supporting my daughter in her military career. I pray for those that will always miss you and send love to them as well. Rest In Peace.
Your beautiful smile will be truly missed. Over the years we have shared many stories. Had so many laughts. I will never forget the first time I sat in your dentist chair. I was having major anxiety. My heart was pounding I was sweating. On that day you gained my trust and loyalty .Your kind words and awesome personality every visit 😊 Rest easy ! My deepest condolences to your wife children and family.
A smile I have never forgotten. I’m truly sorry for y’alls loss. I hope y’all feel God’s love and comfort during this difficult time. My prayers are with you all.
I will miss his winning smile! My cousin gone too soon. He definitely left a dent in this world.

I was just getting to know Sasha through his practice and immediately I resigned myself to knowing he would be my Dentist from now on out. He was so friendly and kind and was the best person. My heart is truly broken for his family. I just heard the news today and I have trouble understanding this. May you all find comfort in each other during this most difficult time. Prayers are with you all.
Such a great man. I will never forget his smile. I have been his patient for the longest and come to find out today from his clinic about this tragedy.
He will be truly missed. I still can't accept this. I just saw him 6 months ago, and I am having hard time understanding this. Very shocking. Very Calm and caring doctor. Will really miss him. My heart is truly broken for his family. May god rest his soul to peace.
Our family just heard about the devastating loss of our beloved dentist, Dr. Mahabir. He was so good to our family of four and we are so thankful to have him as our dentist for the past nine years. So kind, thoughtful, caring and trustworthy with us, always. He went above and beyond and always solved our dental dilemmas with the very best care. Such a sweet hearted soul, we pray he rests in peace.
Love,
The Hernández Family

I extend my deepest condolences to Dr. Mahabir's family and friends. Eventhough I do not know him personally, I have heard many good things about him from others. So much love, care and joy to share, life cut short too soon. A big loss to the dental community as well. May he RIP.
Dr. Sasha was one of the best human beings Ive ever met. Our daughter had her two front teeth knocked out and broke the bone, leaving her in severe pain and scared to death. His practice was closed, and could have easily went on about his day off but instead had us drive to is dads dental office, met us there, and worked on her until her teeth were stable. We were trying to get him to let us pay him, but he insisted we work it out later. He was always extremely patient with our children. He was as compassionate as they come, and he will be greatly missed.
Great doctor and a great man, God bless his soul and God bless his family.
