We deeply regret to announce the passing of Omar Khan, a beloved husband, father, son, brother and respected pharmacist. Born on January 14, 1980, Omar's vibrant life was tragically cut short by Hurricane Helene's flooding. His loss leaves an irreplaceable void in the hearts of those who knew him.
Omar is survived by his wife, Dr. Zubila Shafiq. Omar's legacy lives on in his two wonderful sons Zach and Zayn, a reflection of his values, love, and dedication. He is also survived by his parents, Javed Khan and Surraya Ansa Khan. As well as his brother Mohammad Khan.
Remembered fondly for his intelligence, deliberate nature, kindness, and consistent drive to help others, Omar was a beacon of guidance to many. He was always ready to Roll up his sleeves and be a servant leader.
One of Omar's greatest accomplishments was making a life for his family in Asheville, nurturing an environment of love, respect, and growth. His professional contribution as a pharmacist was equally impressive, touching countless lives along the way. His dedication to the wellbeing of his patients made him an indispensable asset to the community.
A service to celebrate and remember the life of Omar Khan will be held on October 13, 2024, at 1:00 PM at Green Hills Cemetery, Asheville, NC. We invite all those whose lives were touched by Omar to join us in paying respects to a remarkable man whose memory will live on in our hearts.
Omar will be dearly missed by his family, friends, and patients. His life exemplified dedication, service, and love. Rest in peace, Omar. Your life's journey may have ended, but your legacy continues to inspire us all. https://everloved.com/life-of/omar-khan/

Omar was such a sweet caring man and I was his auditor at Cvs for many years. He was such a delight to my mom also and I know he will be missed by many. He had such a beautiful smile and I loved to joke around with him. I can´t imagine how hard this is for his loved ones. Omar thanks for
Making my mom and I feel special. Prayers for your family and friends. It´s still hard to believe this tragic event.

I also knew Omar at Ernescliff College that University of Toronto, where he stayed while studying for this two degrees and where I helped run the residence. He was a hard-working and studious. He was here to help his family by taking advantage of his education and that was firmly part of his mindset. At the same time, he had a mischievous sense of humour and loved to laugh. I have wonderful memories of the times we went out as a group of friends, I always finished feeling happier than when we started. I will miss him and our conversations, which were infrequent but always a great chance to catch up with a dear friend.

From our first day living at Ernescliff College during our undergraduate degrees at University of Toronto, Omar was a great friend. We grew up during those 4 years and he made the effort to stay in touch after he graduated, got married, and moved around the U.S. with his family.

I´ll always remember how devoted and close he was to his mother when she came to visit him at Ernescliff College - sitting right next to her at get-togethers and always making sure she had whatever she needed. It´s a testament to the kind of son he was - even though she had come to visit him, he took care of her.

I´ll pray for the repose of you soul, Omar! You´ll be missed in this life, and I hope to see you again!
