It is with overwhelming sadness and heavy hearts that we share the heartbreaking news of the loss of our dear Kaliq — a beloved son, devoted family member, loyal friend, and respected coworker. Kaliq’s life was tragically taken from us due to a senseless act of violence, and the shock and pain of this loss has left all who knew him devastated beyond words.

To know Kaliq was to love him. He wasn’t just a coworker — he was part of our family. He was the kind of person who lit up a room with his presence, who made others feel seen and heard, and who showed up for the people he cared about without ever expecting anything in return. He gave so much of himself to those around him — his time, his energy, his heart — always putting the needs of others ahead of his own. Whether it was offering a laugh during a tough day, lending a hand without being asked, or just being a shoulder to lean on, Kaliq was someone you could count on no matter what.

His kindness was quiet but powerful, his smile infectious, and his spirit unshakably positive even in the face of challenges. He brought people together — at work, in the community, and in life — and built relationships rooted in respect, trust, and genuine care. He had a gift for making everyone feel important and valued, no matter who they were.

Kaliq’s loss is not just a personal one; it’s a loss for everyone who was lucky enough to cross paths with him. He leaves behind a legacy of love, loyalty, and light — a legacy we are committed to honoring.

In this incredibly difficult time, we are rallying together to support Kaliq’s family as they face the unimaginable pain of this loss. We are raising funds for his mother, Nikita Holland to help with funeral expenses and any additional financial burdens they may encounter during this heartbreaking period. No donation is too small, and every share, every message of support, and every act of kindness helps more than you know.

Let us come together to honor Kaliq’s memory — to show his family just how many lives he touched, how deeply he was loved, and how greatly he will be missed. Kaliq may be gone from our sight, but he will never be gone from our hearts. His light lives on in all of us.
