I always knew of Malik but I never really got to know him until the summer of 2018 he was a loving kind and all around great guy and the best one i knew. I will hold on to the memories of summer 2018 and all the good times and laughs. Malik was the guy u went to when u had problems he always knew what to say and do to cheer you up and his smile was worth a million bucks I love and miss you Malik you will always have a place in my heart LLL

We met Malik in June when he came to our office to apply for a summer job. What a nice, polite, well mannered young man. Imika and family, our thoughts and prayers are with you now and in the days to come. We pray your faith and God's love will see you through.

Malik it's with great sadness that I write this message. I know that your spirit was unmatched and so kind, and my wish is that we had more like you. You were called into heaven to amongst the troop of angels because you were one of the strongest on Earth. You were one of the sweetest souls. Anyone who had the pleasure of being in your presence was impacted by some part of you. I still remember you messaging me shortly after we graduated to inform me that we were cousins, I don't know how we let four years pass without knowing but I'm just happy I was able to spend the time with you that I did. I laughed at your jokes countless times, you even made sitting in school every day a little easier because I had your smile to look forward to. I love you always and forever. I feel stronger now that I have someone like you looking down over me. I know for a fact you left your mark on this world, and until we meet again just know once again I love you. I pray for the peace and strength of this family ❤❤❤❤

Malik I write this great sadness because I know your spirit was unmatched and kind, and I wish that we had many more like you. You were one of the purest souls I ever had a chance to meet. You were called into heaven to be amongst the other angels because you were one of the strongest here on Earth. I still remember how you messaged me shortly after we graduated and informed me that we were cousins, it's crazy how we spent four years without knowing. I spent so much time laughing at your jokes in high school, and you were always a pleasure to be around. I could write all day about how much I love you Malik, but I'll choose to end it here by saying that I feel stronger now that I have an angel like you looking down on me. I love you always and forever and my condolences go to the ones who you were closest to ( I pray for their peace and their strength). Until we meet again ❤❤❤
