I spent five years with Shafqat in Cadet College, Hasan Abdal, a boarding school. And then had a chance to meet him a few times in our adult life after long intervals. He was always a very thoughtful, empathetic brilliant, engaging, fun and pleasant persona--a truely delightful human being. Ever infused with a noble cause, mainly the wellbeing of less fortunate, particularly in his country of birth Pakistan. These are rare individuals which makes this earth a better place and life worth living.

I had known Shafqat Ali Khan since our high school days at cadet College Hasan Abdal in Pakistan. He was a kind hearted human-being, a great basketball player and an exceptional leader. Last, we net was in Washington DC before COVID for lunch. I egret thst we couldn't get in touch due to incorrect phone # during his illness. May ASW bless his soul and grant patience to his family and children to bear his loss. Ameen.

On behalf of " THE UNIQUE " 41st PMA L/C.
Shafqat a fallen comrade and friend. We are not only deeply saddened but also devastated and traumatised by your untimely demise. Specially your dignified fight towards the end of your life with a terminal illness.
You lived a full life with possibly no regrets. You leave behind numerous friends, buddies, course mates and a host of admirers.
We pray that Allah may bless your soul and rest it in eternal peace.
We also pray that God may bestow your family with conviction, inner strength and fortitude to bear this irreparable loss.
Amen.
