Nishant Reddy Palle Obituary
Nishant “Nish” Reddy Palle, beloved son, grandson, brother, cousin, and friend, passed away peacefully on November 20, 2025, in his hometown of Lexington, Kentucky, surrounded by his loved ones.
Born on February 5, 2010, Nish grew into a remarkable young man. As a sophomore at Frederick Douglass High School, he was known for his bright mind, his strong work ethic, and the positive impact he left on everyone he met. His smile, his presence, and his energy made people feel comfortable, valued, and understood.
In his 15 years, Nish touched countless lives with his kindness, confidence, and natural ability to lift others up. He had a large group of friends, and he treated every one of them with loyalty and genuine care. Whether they were playing basketball or football, lifting at the gym, or simply hanging out and laughing for hours, Nish made people feel included. He always put others first, and his friends knew they could count on him.
Family was the heart of Nish’s world. He loved going out to restaurants with his parents and brother, watching movies and TV shows as a family, and discovering new food. He loved Stranger Things and Ted Lasso, and he also loved watching Indian movies with his family. He took pictures of almost everything he ate and proudly built an entire album of food he loved. He adored Mom’s quesadillas and could have eaten them every day. He also had a huge love for butter chicken, especially a butter chicken pasta he tried in India that he talked about nonstop.
Some of his happiest memories came from traveling with family. He loved visiting his cousins in Virginia and especially in India. One of the highlights of his life was attending his first Indian wedding. He had the time of his life. During cocktail night, Nish may have had a little too much fun. He got a little rowdy, but in the funniest and most unforgettable way. His cousins and family still laugh about it. It was pure joy for him, and a memory his family holds close.
Nish was incredibly driven and had a deep passion for business and entrepreneurship. He was naturally intelligent, and he pushed himself to achieve everything he set his mind to. As a member of the Frederick Douglass Future Business Leaders of America club, he earned first place in the state and, as a freshman, earned the opportunity to travel to California for nationals. That achievement showed exactly who he was: hardworking, focused, and determined to succeed.
He also interned at Fayette County Public Schools, where he constantly looked for ways to help others and improve his community. He had many dreams and ideas, and he had the discipline and determination to turn them into reality. Everyone around him believed he was going to change the world.
Nish had a deep love for sports and fitness. He loved basketball, football, and especially lifting. The gym was his safe space, the place where he found confidence and peace. He loved talking about lifting and could go on for hours about workouts, goals, and progress. He pushed himself to get better every day, and his drive inspired everyone around him.
He lived his life with a big heart. He loved deeply. He cared sincerely. He dreamed boldly. He supported his friends and family without hesitation. His laughter, his strength, and his compassion brought light to everyone who knew him.
Although his life ended far too soon, Nish’s impact will last forever. He will be remembered for his warmth, his brilliance, his determination, and the immense love he had for his family and friends. His memory will continue to shine in the lives of all who were blessed to know him.
May Nish rest in peace, held forever in the love he shared so freely.
