Captain Mo,

It´s been over a year since you left this world, and not a single day has gone by that I haven´t felt your presence-somehow, somewhere.

There are still moments when I reach for my phone to tell you something. Still times I hear your voice in my mind, reminding me to take care of myself, to eat, to breathe, to believe in what matters.

We didn´t have decades-but what we had was real. Rare. A love that felt like home in the deepest, simplest way. You reminded me that a meaningful life has nothing to do with things, and everything to do with connection, intention, and peace.

I still remember your laugh, your stories, your deep love for Adrian and your family. I hold on to the way you made me feel-seen, supported, and deeply cherished. You taught me what soul connection means. And that lesson has never left me.

Grief doesn´t always shout. Sometimes, it just quietly walks beside you, reminding you of a love that changed you forever.

Wherever you are, my love, I hope you´re flying.

I carry you with me-always.

The first time I met Mo was at Madinat Jumeirah in Dubai in 2019, and we stayed in touch ever since. His enthusiasm for life shone through in every conversation we had. A charming, intelligent, and humble man, his sense of humor could lift anyone's spirits. Mo loved to explore new places and cultures and always shared his experiences with excitement every time we talk.
The last time we talked was last January. A week ago, I texted him to plan a meet-up during my visit to Miami, as I had promised, but he didn't reply (he always replied). I learned this tragic news through a friend. I am deeply sorry for your loss. His beautiful memory will stay with me forever, and he will be deeply missed.
Until we meet again, my friend. May you rest in peace.

Hi this is Cris again , this picture was taken when Mo was visiting me in the evening at my place here in Miami in Nov 2022,i prepared some snacks for him and of course my cat Bianco wanted to have some also :) , we became very close friends since we started dating in the end of 2021,after he went to his parents place to had dinner.. we always had nice conversations,and i will carry him on my heart forever.

My love to all friends and family

My name is Cris, i started to dating Mo since 2021 , we had many many times together, i went to stay at his house many times,we had very nice conversations,we laugh together,he was the sweetest,kind, gentleman and lovely man.. .. one of the smartest person that i had ever met. We talked last time in January 4th,and i was trying to call him back and no answering.. i always knew that we were a very good friends ,we were always talking about his son Adrian ( who i would love to meet) and talking about my son , our lives and families...i cant believe that he is gone . For you Adrian, and his family and friends my sincere condolences. He was a very special soul.

My dearest Mo,

I cannot comprehend that you are no longer here. Seeing your name all over Google just hurts so deeply.

You were a mysterious man and left us in a mysterious way doing the only thing you loved and fully committed to.

I´m sad I´m left with so many unanswered questions, so much confusion and no closure. But I´m grateful our last date was so full of love and passion as if we knew it was our goodbye, holding hands till the sun came up.

I will leave the pain behind and cherish the very few special moments we enjoyed, the hope and dreams we aimed for. I will keep the memories of what a big heart you had and the amount of love you gave to as many people as possible. With the top being your son and parents.

My dearest Mo, I hope you finally got the peace so much desired

May you rest in peace

My Love,

It´s been extremely hard for me to realized that we will not be able to continue our love story at least for now.

Mo and I met in the beginning of January 2024. We were inseparable for 3 weeks. We have an amazing spiritual connection that neither of us could explained. We knew we were saving the best for last. We even said that to each other many times. I asked him why are you in my life now?
" He said, Everything happens for a reason, my love".
Now I know why...
We had important things planed for our relationship. I remember how we had the same dreams to live a simple meaningful life together. He had this amazing peaceful and beautiful energy about him that I loved. His laughs, his LOVE for his son Adrian and his parents. He sent me many photos of delicious meals that his mom made for him...so many nice memories I have about you...You´re one of kind my love...we were determited to invest in our relationship.
I must say that we lived intensely a romance that I´ll cherish forever. It was short but meaningful, just how we wanted to be.
Our conversations were so deep and made me always think how I could do better...He never wanted to be attached to things at all. He knew that material things never brought happiness to his life.
He valued his family so deeply and absolutely loved to fly! That was his thing...

You always made sure I ate my meals and I was ready mentally to do my job. Call me in the mornings, call me before bed. Made me feel the most powerful and loved woman ... I will continue to take care of myself. I can actually hear you telling me to do the right things, you have this power my love!
This is going to be a hard thing to understand. But I am convinced that we will see you again my love!
My sincere condolences to his whole family and friends. We are not alone.

Love,

Claudia

Hello Mo,

You are the one of a kind person, gentleman I have ever met!
The smartest, intelligent, classy with a lot of natural genuine lights inside out!
I can´t tell about you in the past , for me you just left to another trip as you always do and will be back in a bit.
You are the master of your profession, what happened it is a very unfair!
I texted you yesterday but didn´t get any response, which is very unusual for you and then I saw this awful news!! I don´t accept it! And I will not! You are here , among us... you are hearing and seeing everything. You are so young and full of energy, always great vibes and your charming smile...
You had a plenty of plans for the future, but God had his own plan for you, he always takes the best of the best !
My heart and souls are crying... missing you very much , My Dearest!!
I am wishing you rest and peace.


Kindly, if someone could please reach out to me, I would like to visit his burial site.

Mohamed was a very dear person, I used to be his hair stylist...he always made me laugh with his great sense of humor, he´ll
be missed. Condolences to his family, he´ll
always be in my thoughts and prayers.
RIP

RIP, Mo.

A thorough and compassionate gentleman.
Whenever I was in USA we used to meet up and spend quality time together.
I rang him once that I am flying to New York, he was in LA. I was surprised to see him when I arrived in New York he was waiting for me,
Always available and when you need him he was by your side although he lived in USA and I lived in UK
A very dear friend/ brother who will be missed. Great person with a lovely personality

A thorough gentleman, very helpful and considerate

Adrian, our family is very saddened to hear about your loss. We have no words to express our sympathy. Just know that we are thinking of you and are here for you and your family. Mo was a very special father, and he was very proud of you. May the happy memories of your times together bring you comfort during these difficult times. You and your grandparents are in our thoughts and prayers.
Love, The Verdaguer Family

RIP.

I am lost for words I still can´t believe it but we will all meet again in JANNAH my brother .

I will treasure the fun times we had at AA and traveling! Indulging me with your vibrant culture! Fly high my dear Moho!!

Amazing supervisor, coworker and friend. We will miss you. Michele Demmi

RIP

Dearest Mo,
I was one, who had the privilege of knowing you, I met you when I was 14 or 15 years old in California. My first memory, was you arriving in a sassy car and strappy sunglasses to the house of my sister Gina in the Valley. From that point on, so many things lived together Mo, so many laughs and tears, I guess it was just life itself in the making. I still recall your advice the last time I saw you in Miami and I thank you for it, I will try to be happy, I promise. You always looked at life in a bright way, full of possibilities, nothing really scared you. I admire your tenacity and your vocation of service to others. I will miss you dear Mo, you are my brother. I love you very much and I will see you sooner or later wherever you are now.

God has another angel in heaven!!
