He is also survived by his maternal grandparents, Sybil and David Prugh and Asbury Reid all of Somerset, as well as an Aunt, Debra-Ann Reid, also of Somerset, NJ. Sufyaan also leaves behind his paternal grandmother, Louella Adams of New Brunswick, NJ; a paternal sister, Anisah Adams of Jersey City, NJ; a paternal grandfather, William Blackman of Florida and his biological father, Isa Aqil also of Florida. He also leaves behind a host of other family members and friends who mourn his passing.

I considered myself to be so lucky to have cared for Sufyaan as his therapist for the past four years. He brought such simple joy to us- The way he cooed back when you whispered to him, his deep belly laugh when something struck him funny, the way he put all of his energy and effort into moving his body to play. He was a unique and special child who will always hold a very special place in my heart. I will miss you Sufyaan, and I know you are running with the angels

I feel so blessed to have been Sufy's teacher. He was an absolute joy. I will always remember his smile and his happy giggles. Sufyaan will never be forgotten. He will be part of my class forever. .
