Patel contracted coronavirus at the end of March 2021, just days before the state s phased vaccine rollout changed so everyone over 18-years-old could vaccinate, not just elderly, immunocompromised and frontline workers.
He was placed on a ventilator April 11.
Shortly after, a
GoFundMe campaign page was launched to help cover the cost of his mounting medical bills.
An update was posted on the page earlier this week reading, “Our son and my dear boy has moved on to his next journey. Neil fought his illness like a brave knight.
