Shahidul Islam Obituary – With profound grief, we announce the passing of our beloved Shahidul Islam (Shahid), who returned to his Lord on the blessed morning of Eid-ul-Adha, Friday, June 6, 2025, at the age of 37. His departure has left his family, friends, and community heartbroken, yet we find solace in his passing on such a sacred day.
Shahidul, a devoted husband, loving son, and cherished brother, was born to MD Abu Taher and Jahanara Begum. He was the youngest sibling, deeply adored by his sister Ayesha and brothers Jahangir and Jahid. He leaves behind his beloved wife, Marisa Mullen, with whom he recently made Lake Anna their home. His memory will forever be treasured by his nieces and nephews—Amima, Adiba, Ayanna, Abdullah, Ahmed, Anais, Chloe, and Makenna—as well as his uncle Abdul Hashem, a respected member of the ADAMS community.
Known for his kindness, gentle spirit, and unwavering faith, Shahidul touched countless lives with his warmth and generosity. His absence creates an immeasurable void, yet his legacy of love and devotion will endure in the hearts of all who knew him.
