The Fayaz Family is saddened to announce the passing of Officer Adeed Fayaz, who died on Tuesday, February 7, 2023, after succumbing to injuries he suffered three days earlier. Officer Fayaz was shot in the head by a vicious criminal, and despite the best efforts of medical professionals, he was unable to recover.

Officer Fayaz is survived by his loving wife Madiha and his two young sons, Rayan, 4 and Zayan, 3. His tragic and untimely death has left his family, friends, and colleagues in a state of shock and deep sorrow. Officer Fayaz was an exceptional husband, father, and friend to many, and his loss is felt deeply throughout the community.

Officer Fayaz was an ambitious and driven individual, and his goals and aspirations were focused on providing the best possible life for his family. He worked hard to achieve his dreams, and he always had his sons' futures in mind. He planned for Rayan to learn karate and Zayan to get trained in boxing. He also wanted his children to receive a quality education and moved to Deer Park to make that possible, despite the four-hour daily commute to his duty station.

Officer Fayaz was in the process of purchasing a home for his family when he passed away. It was his dream to provide his children and wife with a house where they could live the American dream. His dedication to his family was admirable, and he hoped that his family could live comfortably and happily in their new home.

To honor Officer Fayaz's memory and continue his legacy, a fundraising campaign has been launched to help his family purchase the house that he had selected for them. The funds raised will also help with unforeseen expenses during this difficult time. As the only breadwinner for his family, Officer Fayaz's untimely death has caused immense financial hardship for his family, and we ask for your assistance in making his dream come true.

We urge everyone to contribute whatever they can to this campaign, as every little bit will help Officer Fayaz's family. Your donations will be used to buy the house that Officer Fayaz had selected for his family and support them during this challenging time.

The campaign is set up to directly benefit the family of Police Officer Adeed Fayaz. Your generosity will make a meaningful difference in the lives of his wife and young children during this devastating time.

Thank you for your support.
