Jawad Akbar Abbasi

To All
It is very hard to think that Jawad is no longer with us. I truly miss all of his emails, his telephone conversation about life, jokes, 7-Eleven, food and Pakistan. Jawad was very caring person, full of joy and would make sure that everyone around him young or old was happy and enjoying life. His kindness reached everybody every moment of life. We all have to understand that Jawad is in better place now and the memories of a great person that Jawad was, will always live in our...

Jawad more a 'FRIEND'than the beloved Nephew!It's time to CELEBRATEthe time that you spent on this PLanet now that you have moved on to the higher planes!choosing to dance with me at all family weddings, with those teasing looks & gestures, shocking me & everyone around us!this was far from the time when at Imran's first birthday both of you were identically dressed in Brocade Sherwanis. the photograph of that moment is one of my most cherished possession.inspite of being your Maami, you...

It was so lovely to meet Jawad after many years last year, hear the tales and jokes he had to tell, marvel at his accounts of how he liked a "nehaari", in short touch base again after many moons. He was a young man of great humour, wit and dignity, a realist and a romantic dreamer at the same time, and will be always remembered as a ray of sunshine and a burst of laughter by all who knew and loved him, which surely was everyone he came in contact with. May he rest in peace for ever more

I will always remember Jawad as a beautiful child wrapped in a blanket when he was newly born. I will always remember him as a playful kid in his play pen. I will always remember him as a handsome young man when he last visited Kalamazoo. Inspite of mimimal contact with him, he was always in our thoughts. May his soul rest in peace.

Darest Jawad,
How can I say farewell to someone who has been in my life for 25 years. Too many memories from KAS High school days to LA college days to Karachi as graduates and then to Islamabad as "real" adults. Our fun and laughter never ended and neither did our quest for food and our disagreements. You will never be forgotten and will always remain present in my life.

for jawad:"koan kehta hai kay mot aaiye to mar jaon ga,mai to darya hoon samanadar main utar jaon ga"[who says that when death comes,i will die;i am a river and will simply flow into the ocean".you exemplified in your life ,a simplicity and humility that was touching to see,and a wisdom and wit that were a joy to share!may allah keep you in the shelter of His love.for shazia and sajjad:you have lost a vital part of your family,but you were both thr greatest support for jawad while he...

I knew Jawad as Saadat's cousin who would write funny and lively e-mails which she would forward to me.She often talked about him in the fondest way. A young, vibrant life that came to a standstill so suddenly is truly a tragedy, yet his zest for life and ability to bring joy to all he touched must be celebrated. My condolences to every one who misses him.
