Amardeep Dhillon

❤️

Amar,
It is difficult to find the right words when someone is taken from us so suddenly. It still doesn't feel real that you are gone.
You were always so kind and patient, even when things were busy and stressful. We would joke around at work, and those moments that seemed so ordinary at the time are now memories I will hold onto.
I will always remember how much you spoke about your wife and your kids. You talked about them with so much love and pride, and it was clear just how much your family meant to you.
I will also always smile when I think about our shared love for music and Coldplay. It was one of those little things that connected us and gave us something else to talk about.

You will be deeply missed and floor 26 will not feel the same without you. Thank you for the laughs, the conversations and for being such a kind person.

Rest peacefully, Amar. Sending all the strength to your family and the loved ones.

Dear Amar,
I still cannot believe you are no longer with us. I will miss our timetabling meetings - even though you couldn’t understand my spreadsheets and I couldn’t understand your colour-coding - we worked well together. Your passion for teaching and doing your absolute best for your students was immense and you will be greatly missed by everyone here. My condolences to your loved ones. Rest in peace .

I don’t think there are enough words to express the shock, sadness and heartbreak to hear such news. I had the privilege to work with you as a dental nurse over a few years and I’ve had a lot to learn from you. Your dedication to teaching was inspiring. You didn’t just teach; you guided, uplifted and protected students, colleagues and patients. You had that genuine kindness that puts people at ease, whether it would be helping a student navigate a difficult situation or comforting a patient in the chair. You were immensely supportive of people around you and treated them with respect. Your legacy will live on in the generations of dentists you helped shape and in the hearts of everyone that had the privilege to get to know you.

We worked together professionally for many years, and you were always someone I could rely on for help and support about the UG programme.

Over the last three months, since I moved to the office next to yours, we had more opportunities to get to know each other on a personal level. This news came as an even greater shock because I had been seeing you so much more often than before.

You will be greatly missed, and I am truly grateful to have had the opportunity to work alongside such a proactive, supportive, and dedicated colleague. My thoughts are with your family and loved ones during this difficult time.

I still can’t quite believe you’re gone. Your passing was so sudden and such a shock.

Having known you for many years, and having had the pleasure of working more closely with you recently as year lead for BDS 4, I feel very fortunate to have known you. You were a wonderful colleague and will be greatly missed by all of us who had the privilege of knowing and working with you.

I can’t imagine working on BDS4 without you, it won’t be the same.

My thoughts are with your family and loved ones at this incredibly difficult time. I hope they can take some comfort in knowing how highly you were thought of and how fondly you will be remembered by so many.

Amar, you were a role model and true inspiration to all the colleagues and students whose path you crossed and I will hugely miss and never forget your support and friendship.
All of my thoughts are with your family and friends at this terrible time.
Rest in peace.

We have recently lost a truly genuine, hardworking, and compassionate human being. I had the privilege of working with him when he was on Floor 21 working as a clinical tutor and during the recent Mega CPC. Though our time together was brief, his professionalism, dedication, and kind nature left a lasting impression.

It was a privilege to have known and worked with him. He will be deeply missed and fondly remembered.

May his soul rest in peace, and may his family and loved ones find strength during this difficult time. 🕊️

It is truly shocking and heart breaking to hear about the sudden passing of such a great dental tutor and a wonderful person.

He was always so calm, kind and approachable, and was incredibly helpful and supportive to everyone around him. It was a real pleasure to have worked with him, and I feel very fortunate to have known him.

I will especially remember our lovely conversations beyond dentistry — talking about his wife and children, and hearing about his trips to India. Those simple conversations are memories that I will always treasure.

His sudden loss is difficult to comprehend. He will be greatly missed, but will always be remembered with warmth, respect and gratitude. My deepest condolences to his family and loved ones.

So heartbroken!
Such a lovely person and colleague. I will miss you greatly. RIP xxx

It’s been incredibly difficult to process this news since hearing about it, and difficult to find the words to articulate my thoughts.

Dr Dhillon was truly a wonderful person. Incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and patient. He always made time for me whenever I saw him, whether that was on Floor 26, in the lifts, or even out and about. He was always approachable and someone I could speak to about anything that was on my mind. I remember first coming across Dr Dhillon during my 1st year of university in one of our classes. Right from the beginning, he had a remarkable ability to explain things so clearly and at a pace that was refreshing to see in this busy world of ours.

I started university as an older student, and honestly speaking, I sometimes felt out of place and even questioned whether I should continue with the course. But Dr Dhillon was incredibly supportive and understanding, and his encouragement genuinely motivated me to keep going. In 3rd year, I struggled a lot with crown prep and felt that I would never be able to pass it. Dr Dhillon encouraged me, gave me the time I needed, and supported me throughout the whole thing until I finally got through it. I used to always be someone with more of a fixed mindset, but he really helped me realise that we are capable of learning & improving through a growth mindset, and that's something I’ll always carry with me.

But beyond the teaching, what I’ll remember most is how exceptionally easy and lovely Dr Dhillon was to talk to. It was always a pleasure having a catch up with him and talking about things completely unrelated to dentistry. I’ll never forget our conversations about BW films, football, and ofc your first time trying Salad Project (you’ve always had good taste). I’ll also never forget how well dressed he always was (loved the three-piece suits and scarves and just how effortlessly stylish he came across).

Thank you, Dr Dhillon, for everything you taught me, for the encouragement you gave me, and for the kindness you showed me throughout my time at university. I’m still in disbelief at the news of your passing, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have had the opportunity to know you. My deepest condolences go to your wife, children, and family.

I am deeply shocked and saddened to hear about your passing. It was a privilege to have worked with you. You were a hardworking and dedicated clinician, loved and respected by so many.

I will always remember our chats about our families, children and holidays. You always spoke about your family with so much love and pride.

You will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with your family during this very difficult time. May Waheguru give them strength, and may your soul rest in peace. 🙏🏽

Amar,
I have first known you as a Personal Tutor to our year 1 students and I still clearly remember how your care, kindness and support to the students stood out immediately. You have been wonderful to work with and your genuine passion and care to make a difference to students has been inspiring.
I'm deeply saddened by your passing. It's still very hard to believe we will start the new academic year without you.
My heart goes out to your family.

Dear Amar
I was deeply shocked by the sad news of your passing, and it is still truly difficult to comprehend that you will no longer be with us. Thank you for all your help and support over the years. You were a remarkable tutor and a great mentor to the students, a highly valued colleague, and a supportive and dedicated Lead. Your kindness, guidance and commitment will be remembered by so many. May you rest in peace.
To those closest to Amar, his wife, children, family and friends, I cannot begin to imagine the heartbreak of your loss. My thoughts are with you all during this incredibly difficult time.

Amar and I were friends. We lived together at University in 2002. He was a kind, funny, caring friend. Sophisticated, humble and the best listener. I remember our chats leaning out of the window at Victoria Halls talking about life and even then I knew he was wise beyond his years. Although we didnt meet up after University as much as we would like, he was always on my mind as someone to get back in touch with. Thankfully we did meet a few times in the last three years and it was the same as 25 years ago. This is such heartbreaking news and he touched so many lives in such a positive way. My heart is with Ash and their two children and the family. Amar I will never forget you.

Thank you for all your help Dr Dhillon, your love and care for your students did not go unnoticed and it was such a blessing to be taught by you. I had a difficult time at one point during my time at King’s and I was met with so much support by you.
Thinking about your family, your children and your wife and to everyone who has suffered this loss. You will be missed and King’s will never be the same. Rest in peace.

I'm so sorry it's taken me a long time to find the words to express how I'm feeling.

This was the most heart breaking, devastating news we could ever receive. Every day since my thoughts have turned to your beautiful children & wife who were so treasured and loved by you. You left far too soon and leave so so many people deeply saddened by the huge hole you will leave.

I cannot believe you are gone. An amazing, truly humble, genuine, kind & patient person. The students & staff were so honoured to have you and I can honestly say life at Guys will never be the same without you.

I am still in shock and still processing everything. And no words will truly convey the true extent to all the lives that were touched by you.

I will miss us discussing our love of our children together & deep chats about life in general. You are an amazing father.

You will remain in our hearts forever.

It was a privilege to have known Amar. He will be remembered with great respect and affection for his kindness, warmth and the positive impact he had on those around him. Our thoughts are with his family and loved ones at this very difficult time. May he rest in peace.

To my friend Amar, I will miss you brother

It's hard to believe this news. You always had a big smile each time you walked past me at the corridor or when I'm sitting at the reception in the Academic centre. You will be greatly missed by everyone in FoDOCS. My thoughts are with your family and loved ones during this incredibly difficult time.

Amar you will be truly missed!

You made such an impact on everyone in the radiology department. From imparting your knowledge to simply being a kind and supportive friend.

Rest peacefully for eternity and you will remain in our hearts.

Amar,

I am truly shocked and saddened by your sudden passing. It was a pleasure to work alongside you on Floor 26 over the past few years.

I admired the enthusiasm and dedication you brought to your role as BDS4 Year Lead. You were always forward-thinking and passionate about improving the students' learning experience. You listened to everyone's views and were constantly looking for ways to make our clinics better for the nurses, staff and students.

I will miss walking onto Floor 26 and seeing you at the nurses' station with your laptop and coffee in hand (even though we all know it was naughty! 🙂) I will also miss chasing you around the clinic for a quick catch-up.

Thank you for your support and kindness. It was a pleasure to work with you, you will be missed greatly on our floor 26 home

My heartfelt condolences go to your wife, children, and family.

Dr Dhillon,

It is still so hard to process your sudden passing, and I am utterly heartbroken for your young family, your loved ones, and everyone who had the privilege of knowing you within the dental community.

No words feel like they will ever be enough to highlight the huge positive impact you had, not only on my journey to becoming a dentist, but on the whole atmosphere and community of the dental school. To me, you were one of the key faces of King’s, a “big dog”, as I had previously told you.

When I first entered Floor 26 as a nervous BDS2, I noticed that everyone, students and tutors alike, turned to you for advice and guidance. I remember a BDS4 at the time telling me, “That’s Dr Dhillon. You won’t meet him much this year, but by fourth year you’ll love him.” How right they were.

It was your supportive nature that truly set you apart. You would reply to my emails late on a Sunday evening and even arranged a meeting where you spent over an hour going over essay structure with me, despite reminding me at the start of the call that we didn’t even have essays this year! Selfless acts like this highlight your character and just how much you cared about us.

It was clear to me that you were always on the students’ side, fighting to make our journey as smooth and stress-free as possible, and always swiftly acting on any feedback we gave.

I’ll miss seeing you around, laughing with you, and creating a notes page titled “questions to ask Dr Dhillon”. I’m so grateful and fortunate to have met you and been taught by you. I hope I can make you proud and help carry your legacy forward throughout my career.

I hope your family is surrounded by love, strength and support as they navigate this unfathomably difficult time.

May you rest in peace, Dr Dhillon.

So very sorry to hear of Amardeep’s passing. I worked for a short time with the team including Amar at Guys in 2022, he was such a nice person to work with always very encouraging and helpful. My deepest sympathies to his wife and children, friends, family and colleagues

Debbie

Dear Amar

I am utterly lost for words at the shocking news you are no longer with us! I was at Guys yesterday and your loss is deeply felt.

My deepest and sincerest condolences go out to your wife and beautiful kids. I cannot begin to imagine what they must be going through. I hope and pray they get through this difficult time with the support of family and friends.

Your presence will be missed by all of us.
Rest in peace.

I can't believe I'm writing this. I'm lost for words reading this. Dr Dhillon was such a friendly and approachable tutor, and he felt like an older brother/friend. He will be missed by all and I would remember him from time to time. He was always so stylish aswell. He really helped me alot through the difficult years of training through Covid and he would never make you feel small or awkward. He was always remembered in a positive light and will continue to do so. I am so incredibly sorry for the loss of his family and I pray for God to give them strength to cope with this extremely difficult situation. Again I am just lost for words.

The world has lost a truly special being with the loss of Amardeep. I had only met him a few times personally but had countless teams meetings along side him.
In the obituary, it speaks of his passion for teaching - this is something that was palpable whenever I was around Amardeep. Such a warm, welcoming, charismatic gentleman. His kindness simply radiated from him.
Keeping all his friends and family in my thoughts, I'm so sorry for your loss.

Thinking of Amar’s family in this difficult time. It has been a gift and a delight to work alongside such a great colleague, all these years.

Your students loved you💔
Your legacy stays in Kings ‘s and among all the people and students that you empowered, this will never be forgotten 💔
Rest in peace 🙏💔

Dear Amar,

Thank you for helping me settle into my role on floor 26 this year. I knew you for a short time only but I am still deeply saddened and shocked by your premature departure. This holds testament to the impact you had on those around you. I feel honoured to have had the opportunity to work with such a special soul.

You were inspiring in the clinic with the students. You taught from your heart and inspired students to reflect and learn deeply. You commanded the admiration and respect of staff and students alike. You were a great role model for me and I learnt so much from you. Thank you for all of your encouragement, guidance and support. You will be truly missed.

My deepest condolences to your family, friends, students and colleagues. My thoughts and prayers are with them all through this difficult time. I can only begin to imagine the pain and deficiency this news has brought to everyone.

Dr Dhillon,

From day 1 of 4th year when I approached you separately, I left our conversation feeling confidently supported by you and quietly encouraged by your ethos going forward.

It is a great shame and a greater loss.

My condolences to your friends and family.
May you rest in peace.

Dear Amar,
The last time we spoke, you were so excited for the summer holidays and spending time with your beautiful children, whom you adored! I cannot yet comprehend that you are no longer with us. May you rest in peace, and may your family find the strength at this horrible time.
Georgia

Amar was a kind and caring colleague who was dedicated to his students and improving education. He will be sadly missed.

With sincere condolences to his family.

May his soul rest in peace.

The news of his passing came as a great shock. It is difficult to comprehend the loss of someone so young, energetic, and full of life. He was a genuinely kind, helpful, and caring person who was always willing to support those around him. His warmth and positivity touched many lives, and he will be greatly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing and working with him. My heartfelt condolences go out to his family, friends, and loved ones during this incredibly difficult time. May he rest in peace.

Amar, my resounding memory of you will always be how your eyes lit up when you talked about your wife and kids. I imagine they will be feeling your loss deeply. I pray they take solace in the fact that you cherished them for as long as you did. Rest in eternal peace.

Raha

the saddest news. my deepest condolences to Amar’s family and loved ones. Rest in peace.

It is with great sadness to have this bad news to a dear colleague and friend.

Your kindness, professionalism, and warmth touched the lives of so many people around you. You were not only a valued colleague, but someone who brought friendship, support, to students and positivity to those fortunate enough to work alongside you.

It is difficult to put into words how deeply your passing has affected us. We will remember the conversations, the laughter, the shared moments, and above all, the wonderful person you were.

You will be greatly missed, but your memory will remain with us.

Rest in peace. You will never be forgotten.

Dear Amar,
Nothing seems quite right at the moment.
I think of you often and it’s always accompanied by a feeling of sickness knowing that you’ve gone.
Thank you for everything you did.
You are missed by everyone that knew you.
With much love,
Bill

It is hard to find the words to express the shock and sadness of losing you so suddenly. It was a privilege to have shared the office with you, and it is difficult to believe that you will no longer be there.
You were so highly regarded by the students, who looked up to you not only for your knowledge and expertise, but also for the person you were. Your kindness, support and influence will stay with them and with all of us who had the privilege of working alongside you.
Thinking especially of your family and loved ones, who are facing an unimaginable loss. I hope they are surrounded by love and comfort in the days ahead.
You will be deeply missed.

Really lost for words. Amar was more than a work colleague, he was a friend.
Sending all my thoughts to family and loved ones.

Amar, thank you so much for being such a lovely colleague. Thank you for being so dedicated, thoughtful, kind, understanding and generous. It is very difficult to imagine King's without you, but I will always be grateful for the time that we worked together.

Katherine

Amar (Pabs)
It’s is with great sadness I hear the sad news. We shared many good times as flat mates in 2nd year of University and all the memories come flooding back. You will be missed by many as you were a genuine friend with a big heart.
Will be praying for your family during this sad time.
Rest in Peace

Dear Dr. Dhillon,
I'm lost for words. You were so wise, so kind, such a wonderful person...You will be dearly, dearly missed.

The most compassionate and genuine tutor on the floor. He was always willing to help, whether it was with patients, tutorials, case studies and anything radiographically related. His knowledge seemed endless and he was always the person you could go to whenever you were unsure about something.

No question was ever too silly to ask, his patience and approachability always made you feel comfortable whenever asking for help and never judged. He was always up for a giggle on clinics and loved a good chat, which made him even more authentic.

My thoughts are with everyone who knew him as he will be deeply missed.

I’m so sad to hear this news. I knew Amar from our uni days and then again through work, and he was always such a genuinely kind person — warm, friendly, and always with a smile. It’s heartbreaking that he’s gone so suddenly. Thinking of his wife and children, and everyone who loved him.

Dr Dhillon,

Writing this now, I honestly don’t even know where to begin. I feel incredibly lucky to have been taught by you. You always went above and beyond for us, giving us so much of your time, patience and support no matter how busy you were, you would reply to emails in the middle of the night. You constantly strived for us to get extra sessions, whether is was clinical or revision sessions closer to exam season. I’ll never forget the first time meeting you in the hospital whilst for many it might have been in year 4 but for me it was in year 2, when I had failed the perio CAF over and over and you came to me and helped me get an extra attempt and made sure I passed. Throughout year 4, I have never had a head of year who cared as much for each and everyone of us; making sure we were all ok, in our personal lives first and as students second.

Your kindness and genuine love for teaching made such a difference to me and everyone else. I hope to make you proud and carry forward everything you taught for the rest of my career.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family and friends during this difficult time.

Dr Dhillon was the true embodiment of everything we were taught to be as dentists. He led with empathy and kindness that made him a gentle educator, and a great role model. His door was always open, and he was always ready to listen and support.

Dr Dhillon was a key part of 5 classes of graduating dentists at KCL, and his legacy will live on through our careers. I will always aspire to be as kind, gentle, and passionate as he was.

My deepest condolences go to his friends and family.

Deeply saddened to learn of the passing of a wonderful, caring and passionate man. I count myself very lucky to have been taught by Dr. Dhillon during my time at University. He always had a smile on his face and was clearly passionate about his teaching. The university and the world has lost a very special man.

Dr Dhillon,

I feel incredibly lucky to have been taught by you. You always went above and beyond for us, giving us so much of your time, patience and support no matter how busy you were. You would battle Kings for us to get us extra sessions, make sure no clinical time went to waste without learning and answer our endless questions to always make us feel reassured and capable. I’ll always remember you as the tutor who made me feel more confident and competent in myself when I most needed it. Your kindness, encouragement and genuine passion for teaching made such a difference to me and many others. I hope you knew just how appreciated you were and know that we’ll be carrying so much of what you taught with us throughout our careers.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family and friends during this difficult time.

Hi Amar, it was a privilege to have you as a mentor and a point of reference at Guy’s Hospital. Even more than that, it was a privilege to have you as a friend, a companion on trips, at events, and through so many wonderful moments.

Although it is only a small consolation, I’m grateful that I was able to spend those last few days with you at the wedding. Those are memories I will always carry with me.

Sadly, things will never be the same without you, and we will miss you more than words can say. But I’m sure that you are now in a better place than this world.

We’ll see each other again someday, my friend. ❤️

I’m deeply saddened to hear about Dr Dhillon’s passing and feel incredibly fortunate to have been taught by him. He gave so much of his time and energy to those around him without ever making it feel like a burden.

Dr Dhillon always had a smile on his face, even on the days when we probably tested his patience, and that warmth never went unnoticed. His patience, kindness, and genuine passion for teaching left a lasting impact on me and so many others. He will be deeply missed x

So saddened to hear about the passing of such a kind and wonderful tutor. He was always there for all his students, always willing to help, and made us feel valued not just as students, but as friends.

Thank you for your kindness, support and for always making time for us. You will be truly missed and remembered with so much warmth. My deepest condolences to his family and loved ones during this difficult time. Rest in peace.

Dr Dhillon, from the very first tutorial you taught me in 3rd year it became very clear that you were the kind of tutor that took every student under your wing. No task was ever too much to ask for you. The impact you left was colossal and I know like so many others, I wouldn’t be where I am today without you.

You were a genuine, truly selfless man, a role model for all. Dr Dhillon, your kind manner of teaching, the laughter during countless conversations, and the wisdom shared over a pint have left such a lasting impression on all of us. You will always live on in our hearts and in our minds.

My deepest condolences to Dr Dhillon’s family and friends during this difficult time. May his memory bring comfort and solace.

Truly saddened hearing this terrible news. Dr Dhillon was an incredible tutor and advice giver.
I Remember doing my first filling with him as my tutor and he helped me remain calm and collected throughout.
One of the friendliest and supportive mentors you could ask for with such a kind heart.
He will be truly missed by all he knew.
My thoughts and prayers are with his family, may he rest in peace.

Deeply saddened by this terrible news. Dr Dhillon was always such a kind tutor and person students could go to for help. Our cohort felt supported and heard by him especially through the final push towards graduation. Thank you Dr Dhillon for the discipline you taught us, we will forever be grateful. May you rest in peace.

So deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Dr.Dhillon. He was my tutor during my final year of dental school and was incredibly supportive particularly during the final moments leading up to graduation. I will always be grateful for his kindness and support during such an important time in my life... My heartfelt condolences to his family friends colleagues & everyone who was close to him🙏🏼

Rest In Peace Dr Dhillon. You were the most supportive, patient and kind tutor. You transformed my university experience. I learnt so much from you and no one can ever replace you.
Not only were you an outstanding tutor but also an exemplary role model showing the importance of always being one’s authentic self. ❤️

Rest easy, Dr Dhillon. Thank you for everything you did and for all your words of wisdom. BDS wouldn’t have been the same without you.
