Ashok in our memories

I was reading the news here and I was very moved to read comments from his customers, which I have pasted below or it can be seen on the link itself. How often do customers care about a store clerk so much? My respect to Ashok and condolences.

I'm shocked and appalled that such a friendly guy could have his young life taken with such disregard. Ashok always had a smile, always checked to see how things were going, and was always happy to see you. He was an aspiring guy, and I am saddened to hear the bad news.

I will miss Ashok, in fact the neighborhood will not be the same.

Ashok was or friend.

Everytime we went to his store, which was several times a week, he knew us by name and we knew him. Even just dropping by for ice cream he would ask about our family and we would talk his studying to be a Bio-science major.

He was from Nepal and came to America to study and this is how his precious life ends?

If anyone knows of any service arrangements, or how to contact his family, please post them here.

We love you Ashok, and will think of you often.

No doubt we will see you again in heaven!

My family and I used to go to this store almost all the time until recently when they stopped carrying some of the products that we buy. He was one of the nicest hard working people I have met in a long time. There was not one time that we went into the store where he was not interacting with his customers. I remember last thanksgiving we asked him if he was doing anything and he said no, and when we went on thanksgiving we had thought about bringing him food, but when we got there he had already had customers bring him food. How many people have you heard of bringing food to their convenience store clerk. Thats how much he was appreciated. Ashok family, you will remain in my family's prayers and your son will be greatly missed. MCPD will not stop until the inhumane person that is responsible for this horrible crime is arrested.

This was a great young man who worked hard, was friendly to everyone who walked into the store and did not deserve to be treated in such an inhumane way. My prayers are with Ashok's family at this time; you raised a wonderful son and he will be missed in a great way in our neighborhood. I know the MCPD will not rest until the person responsible is located and put where he will harm no other citizen again.

awful.

i have not been to this store in a long time because of the kind of foot traffic it attracts. this kid was great and so helpful. really helped the outgoing and new owners communicate.

i hope missouri city council will start paying attention to this stretch of the city. it's disgusting how cartwright-->tx parkway is being allowed to rot by mayor allen and company.

This kid was always so friendly and upbeat despite the profession that he was in. How many convenience store clerks do you know that actuallyu took a personal interest in their customers?

At just 21 years of age, he was starting his life and some thug in a do rag decided that his crack habit took precedence over this young man's being. Yet, when we hook the thug's veins up to an IV on death row, the ACLU will come to his aid and say that this means of capital punishment is cruel and inhumane. If only Mr. Ashok had the same consideration.
