My name is Breyanna, and I had the honor of calling Turki my friend. We were part of a close-knit group of motorcyclists who shared countless rides, laughs, and unforgettable moments together. Whether we were out on the road or just hanging out, Turki’s kindness, humor, and genuine spirit always stood out.
Turki was a student at Northern Illinois University (NIU), working hard toward his engineering degree and dreaming of building a bright future. Sadly, on Sunday, October 19th, his life was tragically taken by a driver who failed to look before turning. His loss has deeply impacted everyone who knew and loved him.
In Islam, it is believed that planting a tree in honor of someone who has passed continues to bring them blessings in the afterlife as the tree gives back to the world, it continues their legacy of good.
Our motorcycle family would love to plant trees or dedicate a memorial bench in Turki’s name something living and lasting that reflects the life and light he shared with all of us.
Every donation, no matter how small, will go directly toward honoring Turki’s memory in a meaningful and lasting way. Thank you for helping us celebrate his life and keep his spirit alive.
