It is with deep regret....

I'm in total shock...still can't believe this has happened! Such a talented and lovely guy who adored his family! They say God takes the best first which I've never really believed but what's happened to Khalid has changed my mind. Poor Emma and baby Abigail...he was incredibly proud of them both and my heart goes out to them.

Khalid was simply the Best of the Best
A true gentleman who adored his family and always gave without question

My thoughts and prayers are with his family at this time

Gone but never forgotten

Sad sad news, my sincere condolences to Khalid's family and friends.

Our paths didn't cross in business, but his forum replies, threads and own site are always a pleasure to read.

What a terribly sad loss.

I've just got the sad news about my friend Khalid passing away. I'm shocked and numb beyond words.

I spoke to Khalid earlier this week and typical of the man he was extremely positive about his recovery from his recent operation and he was in very good spirits.

But that was Khalid - a "glass half full" guy, wise and mature beyond his years.

I had the pleasure of meeting Khalid and had been working closely with him on various projects during this last year. He was one of the nicest guys I have known during 20 odd years in business.

Above all, he was a truly devoted family man, husband to Emma and father to baby Abigail.

My sympathies go out to his family. Khalid was a great man tragically taken away in his mid-twenties.

RIP Mate.

RIP Khalid.

I never managed to meet with him, but chatted (albeit briefly) on here and twitter. We were only discussing his recent op the other day.

Such a loss, thoughts go out to his family.

I truly don't know what to say! I never had to priviledge to meet Khalid but have spoken to him lots of times on the phone and he was the politest and most decent guy I have ever spoken too. This is a massively sad thing to have happened to someone so young and so talented and my deepest thoughts are with Khalid's wife Emma, Abigail and to everyone who had the pleasure of knowing Khalid for the man that he was. God bless you.

I would like to express my sincere condolences to Khalid's family and friends.

I never met or even had a chance to speak with Khalid but it is obvious that he was a talented genuine guy who was well respected amongst all those who did know him.

Nothing can replace the empty space that is left behind when such a loss is felt and my heart goes out to all of you that are feeling saddened by Khalid's passing.

I hope that his young wife Emma and his young daughter will be able to draw some comfort from the messages you guys are all leaving.

For Emma and Abigail

There is nothing i can do,
to make him come back
There are no words I can say,
that can replace the words you long to hear

There are no answer's I can give,
that will satisfy your questions
There is not another soul I can introduce you to that will ever replace his
And, there is no love I can offer that will ever replace the love you shared

I can not promise your broken heart will ever be complete
I will not say it could have been worse
I will not deny it was a tragedy
I will not lie and tell you he will come back

He never really left

I do promise he hears you when you speak
I will say he loves you no matter the distance
I will not deny he is in a better place
And, I will not lie; he is waiting to greet you someday

He is every you step you take
He is in everything you do
He is the air you breathe
He is every beat of your heart

" He is like the wind. You can not see him...but you will always feel him"
