"Ahmad was a beloved son, brother, and friend whose kindness and warmth touched everyone who knew him," it read. "In his final moments, he was doing what he always did, showing up for his mother by bringing groceries upstairs ... Ahmad graduated from Bloomfield College in 2018 with a degree in biology. Throughout his life he attended Arabic school on Sundays and learned how to recite the Quran ... Ahmad was a young black scientist, a religious scholar, a ball player, a son, a brother, a friend and more…he was so much more."
