Najib was 42 years old, married with two children, and one younger brother.

On the day of the tragedy, Najib was driving to a client meeting at 1:30 in the afternoon in Al-Khobar, Saudi Arabia. He never made it to his meeting. He had a massive heart attack and had pulled over to the side of the road.

Everyone who knew him, remembers his smile and kind personality. He was a loving father, a compassionate husband, a caring son, an amazing brother, a dedicated and loyal employee, and the best friend you could ever imagine. 

He treated his friends like family, and his family like royalty. He was always there when you needed him, through good times and bad. He was unselfish to a fault, often putting the benefit of others before his own. He was always careful not to hurt anyone's feelings, and did not have an enemy in the world. He carried himself with pride and respect, and held himself and his family to the highest moral standards. He was honest, sincere, respectful, and hard working. You found in Najib all the great qualities and values you would wish for in a friend, brother, son or husband. 

As his younger brother, I looked up to him, and I always will.
