A legacy
of loyalty

Pravin Malik was a distinguished architect, devoted family man, and lifelong Auckland enthusiast. Pravin, who passed too soon in his seventies, built a legacy not only in blueprints but also in the fervor and passion he brought to the world of Rugby.

Born and raised in Auckland, Pravin’s architectural brilliance was matched only by his love for the Wanderers. He designed structures that stood tall, much like his unwavering loyalty to his beloved team. From grand stadiums to family homes, Pravin’s touch could be seen, leaving an indelible mark on the landscape of his hometown.

As a seasoned architect, Pravin’s professional journey was adorned with accolades. His innovative designs earned him recognition, and his commitment to excellence was celebrated in the architectural community. Yet, amidst the blueprints and drafting tables, his heart always belonged to Auckland.

Pravin’s weekends were a harmonious blend of Rugby, family, and the rich tapestry of Indian culture. He is survived by his loving wife, Meera, and two sons, Arjun and Rajan. Meera, his life partner, shared in his passions, creating a home filled not only with love but also with the tantalizing aromas of Pravin’s exquisite Indian cooking. He found joy in experimenting with spices, creating dishes that brought warmth to their family table.

Cricket was another love that Pravin shared with his family. Watching Lancashire and England play brought moments of excitement and camaraderie, further solidifying the bonds within the Malik household.

In his retirement, Pravin regaled his grandchildren with tales of architectural triumphs, Rugby glory, and the vibrant flavors of Indian cuisine. He leaves behind a family who not only cherishes the memories of a loving patriarch but also carries forward the values of passion, dedication, and cultural richness instilled by Pravin.

As we bid farewell to Pravin Malik, let us remember him not just for the structures he built but for the foundations of love, loyalty, and enthusiasm he laid in the hearts of those who were fortunate to know him. May he rest in peace, surrounded by the echoes of cheering crowds, the aroma of Indian spices when he cooked, and the enduring legacy of his architectural and Rugby passions.
